BTS’s V Sets the Internet on Fire with Viral 80M-View Dance Practice Video
BTS’s V is heating up the internet once again. A dance practice video he posted last year has now surpassed 80 million views, reaffirming his status as a performance powerhouse.
On November 28, V shared a video on Instagram with the caption “Last, seriously last,” featuring himself practicing choreography with acclaimed Korean dancer Leejung. While the initial video only showed the pre-dance moments, Leejung later uploaded a full video of them dancing together, thrilling fans across the globe.
Leejung, known for her collaborations with numerous K-pop artists, is celebrated for her sharp moves and prolific presence in the K-culture scene. With her and V teaming up, the buzz was inevitable.
The wave began rolling quickly — the clip recorded 22 million views within 8 hours, hit 50 million in two days, and reached the 80 million milestone by July 7. Alongside these staggering numbers, the post has racked up 7.2 million likes, proving its viral reach.
In the video, V showcases a powerful Krump performance to Ludacris’s “What’s Your Fantasy,” flaunting his newly bulked-up physique developed during his military service. The choreography dazzled with flawless chest pops, arm swings, and stamp techniques, all done with electrifying energy. To elevate the dramatic flair, he even covered his face beforehand, keeping the spotlight strictly on his dance.
The performance gained even more traction on TikTok, where fans replicated V’s dance style, including his iconic shirt-covered face. His chiseled arms and upper body drew admiration, showing the results of intensive self-care and training during his military stint.
Responding to Leejung’s post, V commented, “Ha… I’ll dance again next year,” hinting at a possible return to performance projects after his military discharge — much to the excitement of ARMY worldwide.
Continuing his performance streak, V recently joined viral dance trends. His version of NewJeans’s “Hype Boy” challenge surpassed 116 million views, with fans praising his synergy of breezy charm and polished moves. Meanwhile, in the “Smoke” challenge, V danced alongside his 1995-born peers Bada and Gof, demonstrating a stark contrast from ‘Hype Boy’ through an intense, commanding routine that showcased his versatility and solidified his crown as a multifaceted dance king.
