After the safety video was finished; #3 (me); #4; & #2 were walking through the cabin doing our safety compliance checks. The minute we all got in the aisle; we smelled a horrific dirty sock smell that reminded us of a dirty boy's locker room. Passengers were stopping us asking what that awful smell is. I #3 ran up front & called the cockpit. We eventually went back to the gate. Everyone deplaned including all 4 of us F/A's & the cockpit. Maintenance was waiting for us & they took the plane out of service. We 4 F/As went to the Emergency Room here in ZZZ to be tested & checked out for poisoning since it definitely was confirmed it was a FUME event!
