Jungkook and Bada Lee's dance reel surpasses 20 million views
On December 21, 2024, Bada Lee and Jungkook posted their dance collaboration to Don Toliver’s song BANDIT. The BTS star, who famously does not own a personal Instagram account, reposted the video via his dog Bam's account, catching fans off guard.
The video quickly gained traction, becoming Bada Lee's fastest reel to reach 10 million views and eventually hitting 20 million, a milestone no other post on her account had achieved.
Jungkook’s connection with Bada Lee traces back to his first-ever TikTok video in September 2023, where he danced to the Smoke challenge, choreographed by her.
At that time, Bada had reposted Jungkook's video with the caption, "Ah!!! hold on!!" to express her excitement and admiration for his performance. Now, over a year later, the two finally danced together, and Bada fittingly captioned her post, "Finally," marking what fans are calling a full-circle moment.
Interestingly, this collaboration happened while the BTS star was on military leave, amplifying fans’ excitement. The situation mirrored a recent moment with fellow BTS member Taehyung, who also danced with Bada Lee during his military leave to the viral song What’s Your Fantasy. Both instances left fans thrilled by these unexpected surprises.
Jungkook and Bada’s dance reel has become a trending moment on social media, with fans celebrating the influence of the BTS star and the impact of their collaboration. Fans continue to rewatch the reel and enjoy it.
