Girl group MEOVV's cover performance of BTS's "Dynamite" at the ACON 2026 event hosted by StarNews spread rapidly across social media platforms including X (Twitter) and TikTok, drawing intense reactions from global fans. Despite being a rookie group, their highly polished stage performance captured the attention of K-pop fans worldwide.

On the 25th (local time), MEOVV delivered a nearly 20-minute setlist at ACON 2026 held at NTSU Arena in Taipei, Taiwan, performing intros and songs including "DDI RO RI," "In My Hands," followed by their cover of BTS's "Dynamite" and concluding with "Hit 'Em" and "Hands Up." The five-member rookie girl group under The Black Label captivated the live audience with a performance that added their unique flair to the bright and upbeat energy characteristic of "Dynamite."

On X (formerly Twitter), the cover became a major trending topic, triggering a flood of fan reactions. A video shared by @meovvbase spread quickly, while @OrangeforNarin cheered alongside photos from the stage, posting member Narin's name with a hashtag. Fans highlighted the members' fluent English pronunciation, impressive stamina, and especially Gawayon's commanding stage presence. @4ellameovv expressed their fandom with the short but powerful phrase "My girls." Overseas fans who viewed the video responded with comments such as "Why does this cover fit so well?" and "MEOVV has completely made 'Dynamite' their own."

Meanwhile, some online reactions raised concerns, stating, "Every time a K-pop idol covers a BTS song, hostile fandoms from the BTS side pour in," while others pointed out contradictions: "Comments mocking English appear because 'Dynamite' is an English song, which contradicts claims of supporting Asian stars by justifying xenophobia against foreigners."

ACON 2026 was organized by StarNews and co-hosted by the AAA Organizing Committee, MOTIVE, and D-SHOW. Attendees included MC Sung Han-bin, MEOVV, Xdinary Heroes (XH), YENA, CLOSE YOUR EYES, KISS OF LIFE, NEXZ, and QWER (listed in alphabetical order).
