BTS's Jungkook Silences Controversy with Viral TikTok Dance Video
On October 15, Jungkook posted a 14-second video on his TikTok account, dancing to a track by rapper bbno$. Within hours, the video amassed over 14 million views and 3.7 million likes.
In the video, Jungkook impressively performs a series of complex spins on one foot. A fan commented, "THE FOOTWORK MYGODDDDD," while another fan shared a slow-motion edit, noting, "Even in slow motion, Jungkook's moves are fast. It's on another level."
The original artist, bbno$, also took notice, sharing on his social media, "Jungkook of BTS just danced to my song," and commented on Jungkook's post, "there's literally no way oh my god."
This comes after Jungkook faced backlash for using profanity during a late-night live broadcast on September 26 while under the influence. During the broadcast, he stated, "I don't care about the company, I want to live my way," and mentioned his past smoking habits, expressing a desire to be more honest.
