BTS's Jungkook has done it again! He dropped his sensational solo track, "Standing Next To You," on November 3, and ARMYs couldn't be happier with Jungkook's new masterpiece.
His fans are drawing parallels between Jungkook's dance style in the music video and the iconic moves of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
On October 15, 2023, K-pop boy band BTS member Jungkook's new song, "Standing Next to You," from his debut album "Golden," was introduced as the album's main track.
It's his second collaboration with American singer-songwriter Andrew Watt and Canadian record producer Cirkut after "Seven" earlier in the year.
Finally, on November 3, fans were treated to the official music video, which has sent the internet into a frenzy with its intricate details.
In this video, Jungkook takes his dance moves to the next level, exuding charisma and magnetism reminiscent of the legendary Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson, the unparalleled music icon, was renowned not only for his exceptional vocal talent but also for his groundbreaking signature moves, including the moonwalk and the iconic leg kick, which revolutionized the world of dance and left an indelible mark on entertainment.
As fans enjoyed the "Standing Next To You" MV, they couldn't help but notice the unmistakable resemblance between Jungkook's dance style and Michael Jackson's legendary choreography.
