ATEEZ's San has revealed just how popular his viral chest dance from BAD has become, sharing that he has performed the move approximately 600 times after receiving countless requests.
During the November 13 broadcast of KBS 2TV's The Seasons: Sung Si Kyung's Music Boyfriend, ATEEZ appeared as guests and performed BAD, the song that gained attention on social media for San's memorable choreography.
Host Sung Si Kyung asked the members how their daily lives had changed following the song's unexpected popularity.
San shared that he now gets recognized in public by people he never expected, including older men who imitate his famous dance move.
“When I'm eating at a restaurant or getting into an elevator to go home, older men look at me and suddenly do the chest dance,” he said.
He added that some even perform the move when they make eye contact with him while leaving restaurants.
“It makes me really happy,” San admitted.
When Sung Si Kyung asked how many times he had performed the move, San gave a surprising answer.
“I think I've done it around 600 times now. Wherever I go, people keep asking me to do it,” he revealed.
Despite repeating the choreography so often, San said he had no complaints.
“I'll do it as many times as people want. I'll keep doing the move. I don't mind at all,” he shared.
Interestingly, Jongho revealed that the members had originally expected a different part of BAD to become popular as a dance challenge.
“We thought the challenge would be the wrist-tapping move in the first chorus. Then a completely different part suddenly went viral without us expecting it,” he explained.
Hongjoong also recalled how the members noticed the trend after returning from their activities in the United Kingdom.
He explained that social media had become filled with videos of people reacting to San's chest dance, making the group's sudden popularity even more surprising.
Meanwhile, Mingi shared how the members felt about San receiving so much attention.
“Rather than feeling jealous, we're thankful because San becoming popular gives the other members more opportunities to be seen,” he said.
Mingi then jokingly claimed that San had become such a big star that he now cleared the table whenever San finished eating, drawing laughter from the group.
The lighthearted conversation showed how San's viral dance has become one of ATEEZ's most recognizable moments, reaching audiences beyond their usual fanbase.
Even after performing the move hundreds of times, San made it clear that he remains happy to entertain fans who continue to request it.
