It all started with this video. After J-Hope tweeted this video with #IDOLCHALLENGE in the caption, the most recent dance challenge craze began. It spread even more after Jimin, Jungkook, and J-Hope posted a second dance challenge video with all three of them doing the challenge.

Thousands of people filmed themselves doing this challenge, tagging BTS in their tweets. Celebrities were even doing their own versions of the challenge, including fellow K-Pop star Zelo from BAP. It was even mentioned on The Ellen Show when Twitch did his version of the challenge.

Some of the videos showcased the talents of may people, while others were more for entertainment and comedic purposes.

The challenge spread so far that shortly before releasing the music video for the Idol remix featuring Nicki Minaj, BigHit, the company BTS is under, released a statement asking for permission from various participants for their permission to include their videos in a compilation to be added to the end of the music video.

Basically I didn’t know what to do this week, so my friend told me to talk about the dance challenge and include his version.
