It's been approximately (*checks watch*) a hot minute since BTS's third studio album, Love Yourself: Answer was released on August 24, and it's already inspired a dance challenge. Move over, Keke: the "Idol" challenge has arrived.
It would seem that practically overnight, the "Idol" dance challenge has taken over the internet. The video for BTS's new song officially dropped last Friday, the same day as their latest studio album, Love Yourself: Answer. Billboard reported earlier this week that the challenge began when a video of J-Hope doing some of the choreography from the group's newly-released "Idol" music video in Malta made its way to Twitter.
The video featured the hashtag #IDOLCHALLENGE and even though BTS didn't officially announce that the challenge was a thing, the message was clear: the "Idol" dance challenge had arrived and BTS wanted their ARMY to get in on the fun.
The ARMY has gladly accepted the challenge, posting their own videos to the #IDOLCHALLENGE hashtag. Scrolling through, we found tons of killer takes on the moves, including Twitch from The Ellen DeGeneres Show putting his skills to the test, a family doing the challenge together as a bonding activity, and some spot-on solo choreography being put on display.
On Wednesday, BTS posted yet another video of some of the group members participating in the challenge, motivating a whole new wave of fans to get in on the fun. In the new video, posted to the group's Twitter with the caption "Heh", you can see BTS members Jimin, Jungkook, and J-Hope doing a portion of the dance routine from the "Idol" video and absolutely nailing it.
Your move, ARMY.
