Behind-the-scenes footage from BTS has revealed that Jungkook suggested the forward-moving twist used in his and J-hope’s popular version of the “I Want You Back” dance challenge.
According to the original post, the challenge was initially performed while staying in place. Jungkook and j-hope instead danced while moving forward down a hallway, creating a faster and more dynamic version that attracted considerable attention online.
The forward-moving choreography became particularly popular, with the original creator giving the BTS version a shoutout and other idols later performing their own versions using a similar hallway-running approach.
The post notes that BTS behind-the-scenes footage released recently showed that the idea to move forward while performing the challenge had come from Jungkook.
Netizen Reactions
The sampled comments were overwhelmingly positive, with users praising the small creative change that made Jungkook and J-hope’s version feel more energetic, while some also highlighted j-hope’s role in choosing the hallway as the filming location.
1. I can watch this over and over and never get tired of it.
2. With things like this, such a tiny difference can completely change the quality. He really does have great instincts.
3. That “Left Right” challenge was originally supposed to have one leg spin too, but he did it twice and that’s what made it blow up, right?
4. Seriously, filming it while moving forward down the hallway feels so refreshing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Around the 6–7 second mark, he’s spreading his legs out to the sides while still moving forward, and every time I watch it I’m like, wow, that’s so cool... Did the person holding the camera have to walk backward while filming? They’re amazing too..!!
5. He seriously seems like a genius. It’s such a tiny difference, but dancing while moving forward makes it feel so much more exciting and refreshing, like watching a scene from a youth music movie.
6. Whenever Jungkook’s promises to keep working hard so he doesn’t fall behind or lose his instincts suddenly become visible like this, I get overwhelmed by this intense feeling that’s hard to put into words. As expected of Jungkook..ㅜㅜ
7. Every challenge he does gets insane buzz. That idea was so good.
8. J-hope was actually the one who chose the hallway as the place to dance in the first place. Gotta mention that too ㅋㅋ
9. That challenge was seriously so good. The sense of speed made the exciting and refreshing feeling absolutely explode.
10. The camera operator was amazing too. Didn’t they have to walk backward while filming..?
