BTS’s Jungkook’s motorcycle video has soared to become the 3rd most reposted Instagram post in history, achieving this feat in less than two full days. Amidst posts from global superstars capturing monumental life events like a World Cup victory or an engagement, Jungkook’s 18-second bike video, simply captioned “I wanted to try it,” has garnered an explosive reaction from fans worldwide, cementing its place among social media’s elite.
The popular pop culture account @TheePopCore ignited discussions on the 23rd by sharing a list of “The Most Reposted Instagram Posts of All Time.” Topping the list was Lionel Messi’s iconic 2022 Qatar World Cup victory moment, followed by Taylor Swift’s 2025 engagement announcement at second. Securing the impressive third spot was none other than Jungkook’s captivating ‘Hooligan’ motorcycle video.
Jungkook on a Bike Amidst Life’s Biggest Moments
Fans were ecstatic about this striking contrast. User @koosvixen playfully remarked, “The other two are the biggest moments of their lives, and then there’s Jungkook on a bike lol.” Similarly, @benfyp commented, “Everyone else is posting big life moments, and Jungkook just grabs a bike.” Admiration poured in, with @gl0balpopstarjk stating, “Jungkook’s power and impact are truly insane,” and @EU4HORIAGGUK expressing awe, “He did it in two days!” @AboutMusicYT confirmed the news, reporting, “Jungkook’s recent post has become the third most reposted post in Instagram history.”
Adding to the intrigue behind this record-breaking post is the story of its creation. Fans quickly noted that the baseball cap Jungkook wore in the video was the same one he was spotted in at the airport the previous day. This led to speculation that “he filmed it himself immediately after returning to Korea and edited it overnight before uploading.” Praises for his “energy, drive, and execution—a born star” flooded in. Fellow BTS member V also showed his support by liking the post, highlighting their strong friendship. Fans expressed their amazement, commenting, “For a moment, I thought it was a scene from a movie or a commercial,” and “The promotion fairy is busy as soon as he lands.”
Inspired by the video, actual bikers and streamers have begun sharing their own ‘Hooligan’ motorcycle challenges, further spreading the trend. Meanwhile, some fans have taken the opportunity to highlight the original creator of this biker trend. User @yoongisbatman reminded everyone, “The person who first started the ‘Hooligan’ bike trend was a Muslim woman wearing a hijab,” urging people not to forget the original inspiration.
As of 5:45 PM on the 24th, the Instagram video boasts an astonishing 91.54 million views. It has accumulated over 9 million likes, 2 million reposts, and 510,000 comments. Fans are particularly amazed by these figures, achieved in just over 36 hours since the video was uploaded. Separately, the music video for ‘Hooligan,’ a track from BTS’s new album ‘ARIRANG,’ currently holds 289.5 million views on YouTube.
