On June 12, 2024, fans urged Kim Taehyung to open a TikTok account after his latest Instagram dance video with choreographer Lee Jung-lee went viral across social media. The duo performed to the tracks WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME by GloRilla and Sexyy Red, and Don't Drop That Thun Thun (Remix 98 BPM).
Their dance video quickly gained traction, garnering over 50 million views and 4 million likes within 24 hours of its release on Instagram. A second dance video accumulated over 8.2 million views and almost one million likes within just one hour on Instagram.
Trending
As the clips circulated widely, netizens called for Kim Taehyung to create a TikTok account so they could watch his videos on the platform. Fans praised his choreography and dance moves. One X user tweeted:
"Tae never follows the trend, he creates them."
Fans stated that the huge number of likes and views was an indication that BTS' Kim Taehyung should open his TikTok account.
"8.2M VIEWS AND ALMOST 1M LIKES IN 1 HOUR! KIM TAEHYUNG IT'S TIME TO OPEN YOUR OWN TIKTOK," a fan reacted.
"the likes damn the people really want that taehyung tiktok account," another fan shared.
"tiktok is a huge promotional tool, and taehyung's already on his second self made trend on the app without being on it, the way he was never told a documentary is wanted, he probably doesn't see the tiktok appeal too. I really hope it reaches him, so do tell him alot on weverse," one fan commented.
Other users speculated that BTS' Kim Taehyung's TikTok engagement would be insane if he opened his account.
"The number of likes and views on TikTok is getting absolutely wild. Don’t Drop That Thun Thun cover has already surpassed What’s Your Fantasy cover in likes. This is exactly why we need a “Taehyung on TikTok”, he is already dominating the platform without even being on it," an X user reacted.
"Taehyung's tiktok engagement will be insane if he decides to open one," another netizen shared.
"8 million+ likes (tiktok) 55 million+ views (instagram) in ONE day… Taehyung make a tiktok account and flex ur dance skills pls pls pls pls," another person mentioned.
