BTS star J-Hope and Becky G’s ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ spawns a dance challenge

You’ve heard of the chicken dance. Now get ready for...the “Chicken Noodle Soup� dance.

“Chicken Noodle Soup,� the much-anticipated collaboration between “Shower� singer Becky G and J-Hope of the K-pop band BTS, has inspired a new viral trend on social media.

The music video, which dropped Friday, sees the pair perform a hip-hop version of the chicken dance — elbows out, legs bent and all. And their clucky moves might just shut down the internet with the “Chicken Noodle Soup� challenge.

“Chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup. Chicken noodle soup, with a soda on the side,� the duo rap over a funky, bass-heavy beat.

In the hours since the song’s release, J-Hope shared a video of himself re-creating the choreography on TikTok, and many have now followed suit, posting their own takes on the dance to social media with the hashtag #CNSChallenge.

Becky G and J-Hope’s catchy tune is actually not the first song titled “Chicken Noodle Soup.� Theirs is a cover of the original 2006 “Chicken Noodle Soup� by DJ Webstar and Young B., which also features some fresh poultry moves.

The “Chicken Noodle Soup� challenge is the latest pop sensation to take over the internet thanks to a music video routine. Last year, Drake’s “In My Feelings� launched a similar movement, with celebrities such as Will Smith, Millie Bobby Brown, Sterling K. Brown, Dua Lipa, Shay Mitchell and Leslie Jones putting their own spins on the moves on Instagram.

J-Hope has been exploring solo work since BTS announced in August that it will be taking an “extended� break. According to the K-pop group’s website, the collective is still set to perform in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Seoul in October.
