BTS's Jungkook's motorcycle video has climbed to third place on the list of most-reposted posts in Instagram history, in less than three days. Amid posts from global stars capturing life-defining moments such as Lionel Messi's 2022 World Cup victory and Taylor Swift's 2025 engagement announcement, an 18-second motorcycle video with the brief caption "I wanted to try it" has sparked explosive reactions among fans.

Pop-focused account @TheePopCore sparked discussion on the 23rd by sharing the "list of most-reposted posts in Instagram history." First place went to Lionel Messi's moment of winning the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and second place to Taylor Swift's 2025 engagement announcement. Third place was claimed by Jungkook's "Hooligan" motorcycle video.

"Jungkook on a motorcycle among life's greatest moments"

Fans were thrilled by this contrast. @koosvixen cheerfully commented, "The other two are the most important moments in life, but Jungkook is on a motorcycle lol," while @benfyp said, "Everyone posts their big life moments, but Jungkook is just riding a bike." @gl0balpopstarjk remarked, "Jungkook's power and impact are truly insane," and @EU4HORIAGGUK expressed amazement, saying, "He did it in two days." @AboutMusicYT reported, "Jungkook's recent post has become the third most-reposted post in Instagram history."

What makes the record even more intriguing is the video's creation process. It was revealed that the baseball cap Jungkook wore was the same one spotted at the airport the day before, leading fans to interpret that he "filmed it immediately after returning home and edited and posted it all night." Praise poured in: "Energy, drive, execution — a born star." Member V also liked the post, showcasing their friendship. Fans marveled, "It looks like a scene from a movie or a commercial," and "He's busy as a promotional fairy right after landing."

In fact, real bikers and streamers were inspired by the video, sequentially sharing their own "Hooligan" motorcycle challenges, further spreading the trend. Meanwhile, some fans have begun to re-examine the original creator of this biker trend. @yoongisbatman stated, "The person who first started the 'Hooligan' bike trend was a Muslim woman wearing a hijab," urging others not to forget the originator.

As of 5:45 p.m. on the 24th, the Instagram view count has reached 91.54 million. It has garnered 9 million likes, 2 million reposts, and 510,000 comments. Fans are even more surprised given that this record was set in just over 36 hours since the video was uploaded. "Hooligan," a track from BTS's new album "ARIRANG," is currently at 289.5 million views on YouTube Music.
