While the clip itself quickly gained traction, the reaction from HYBE juniors CORTIS has sparked even more buzz online.

Jungkook’s last TikTok, uploaded in December 2023, featured him dancing with Usher to “Standing Next to You” and racked up over 176 million views.

His latest post sees him slaying the viral CORTIS “FaShiOn” dance challenge, and within hours, it surpassed 20 million views, quickly becoming the most viewed CORTIS challenge to date.

Unsurprisingly, CORTIS members couldn’t resist reacting. Even while traveling, the group commented on Jungkook’s video, expressing disbelief and excitement, which quickly went viral on social media.

CORTIS’s response has also reignited conversations about their past reactions to BTS. Previously, when J-Hope covered CORTIS’s song “GO!” in a TikTok dance, the group posted a video performing a deep ceremonial bow — a traditional Korean gesture — to show respect. While intended as a sign of gratitude, it drew mixed reactions online, with some fans describing it as “cultish behavior.”

HYBE Group’s Behavior Toward BTS Member Sparks Huge Criticism

Their reaction to Jungkook’s TikTok has sparked speculation whether he will received the same “deep bow” treatment or if the group will avoid doing so after the controversy it triggered last time.
