On the 16th, V posted a 28-second dance video on his TikTok account (@tete) with the caption “Lights off!”, tagging six crew members including dancer and video creator Dyson Campbell. In the video, V performs a striking choreography featuring controlled footwork and rotational moves, alongside dancers dressed in white.
Resembling a hip-hop music video, this clip stands out with its cinematic direction and editing. Within just 21 hours of its release, the video garnered 9.7 million views, 4.8 million likes, over 97,000 comments, and more than 323,000 shares, quickly becoming a hot topic across social media.
Notably, fellow BTS member Jungkook also left a comment on the video, capturing significant attention. Jungkook playfully asked, “When did you film this? lolololol,” and his comment received over 600 likes.
International fans also showed an enthusiastic response. On X (formerly Twitter), comments poured in like, “Not everyone can dance like this, Taehyung is a true dancer,” and “Insane synchronization and footwork.” Praise also came for the entire production: “Everything from filming to choreography, backup dancers, and editing is perfect. TikToker Taehyung is back.” Another fan wrote, “Taehyung is back, cooler, more creative, and even more iconic.” In the TikTok comment section, fans from various countries including Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Iran left supportive messages like “Please visit our country someday,” highlighting his immense global popularity.
V also set a record on the 6th, becoming the first K-pop male idol to surpass 75 million followers on his personal TikTok account.
