Music sensation and global superstars BTS are ruling charts all over the world this summer with their back-to-back hits. Now, as their third English song ‘Permission to Dance’ won the internet for spreading joy amid Covid-19 pandemic, the K-Pop band launched a dance challenge.
The peppy number — released on July 9 — saw the band dressed as edgy cowboys, dancing their hearts out with people from across the spectrum. Imagining a post-Covid world where masks no longer hide our smiles, the band deviated from their rigorous choreography, making way for easy moves so that everyone can join the fun. Taking a step further towards inclusivity, the band also included international sign language in their music video, in a nod to Disability Pride Month.
Their latest English song, which is the second collaboration with popular singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, has already topped the charts on Billboard Hot 100, with the baton being passed by group’s summer hit ‘Butter’. As the song urges all to dance amid such trying times, people around the world have joined the bandwagon.
While some tried to follow the Korean septet’s choreography step-by-step, others gave it their own twists! And it isn’t just humans who joined the dance challenge. From little children to senior citizens, videos of people participating in the dance challenge has taken the internet by storm, across social media platforms.
