From TXT to NewJeans, HYBE groups join 'Run BTS' dance challenge on TikTok
Is something cooking in HYBE?
K-pop groups under the entertainment company posted TikTok videos of their members dancing to BTS' B-side track "Run BTS" released back in June.
This comes at the heels of BTS releasing an official dance choreography video a month after they debuted a live performance during their concert in Busan, South Korea.
BTS members J-Hope, Jimin, and SUGA kicked off the challenge first.

After that, Le Sserafim, TXT, NewJeans, fromis_9, Seventeen, and Enhypen posted dance covers of their own.

BTS leader and rapper RM then posted a song by each group who did the dance challenge on his Instagram Stories, before sharing the audio of "Run BTS."
Jungkook and V also posted the song on their accounts.
"Run BTS" was released as part of BTS' anthology "Proof" right before the supergroup announced that they were scaling down on group activities to focus on solo projects.
Despite being a largely unpromoted track, it stayed in the Spotify Global chart for a good few days and went viral on TikTok after its release.
So why the sudden promotion? Keep your eyes peeled! —JCB, GMA Integrated News
