“They need to post a challenge together NOW!”: Fans react as BTS' j-hope’s alleged TikTok tutorial request to Filipino dancer Niana Guerrero goes viral 

On February 8, 2025, an image allegedly featuring BTS' j-hope’s TikTok message appeared on the internet. As shown in the viral image, the Blue Side vocalist sent a message to a Filipino dancer, Niana Guerrero, requesting her to teach him TikTok. Apparently, the image of Niana’s phone went viral, which was said to have been posted by her manager but it was later deleted.

For those unaware, BTS' j-hope recently joined TikTok and ever since then, the singer has been a consistent user of the social media platform.

Fans of BTS' j-hope were thrilled to see his alleged brief interaction with the popular dancer. As a result, his fans flooded the internet with their anticipation for a new TikTok dance challenge video featuring Hobi and Niana together. One user on X commented:

“they need to post a challenge together NOW!!!!!!!!”

Many other mixed reactions to this interaction between BTS' j-hope and Niana Guerrero were seen online. While some speculated a dance collab, others anticipated the duo’s dance at Hobi’s upcoming Manila tour.

“i’m pretty sure niana and hobi are already planning to do a tiktok collaboration the moment he step foot for his manila leg tour,” another fan said.
