What is the Iconic By Mistake trend?
"ICONIC BY MISTAKE" is the first song LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE released together, the three HYBE girl groups announcing it on June 8, 2026 and putting it out on June 12. It opened at No. 29 on Spotify's global daily chart and entered the UK Official Singles chart in its first week. The challenge part was built for TikTok: ILLIT posted a challenge preview the night before release (31 million views) and members of all three groups filmed it together.
The challenge then spread far beyond the three groups. CORTIS posted it on June 21 (33.7 million views), and on June 26 BTS's Jungkook filmed it alone in a hotel room with the caption "this is hard" in Korean, the clip on this page and the most viewed post of the trend at 50 million views. Dance teachers posted mirrored tutorials (2.2 million for @dance.with.aeri), and by October the song was still being used for cover dances and AI pet edits, with the #iconicbymistake hashtag past 2.5 billion views.
The clip on this page is Jungkook's own TikTok video: one dancer, full body, no text on screen, shown with its original sound. On AI Dance, the template copies his moves onto your own photo: your face, clothes and background stay, and your body follows the choreography.
The moves
He starts in a wide, low stance with his knees bent out and his hands pressed together in front of his chest, then snaps up and throws both arms open. He hits a run of quick arm moves: a cross in front of the chest, a sharp point, a wave of the hands past the face. He shifts his weight side to side in loose wide pants, drops back into the low stance for a beat, then raises one arm high and pulls it down into a tight pose with his hands near his collar, keeping the whole thing sharp and a little playful.

Best photo for Iconic By Mistake
The photo decides most of the result. These tips are for this dance.
Works well
- Use a full-body photo, head to shoes: the wide low stance needs the legs in frame.
- Loose pants and a jacket fit the look of the challenge and show the moves well.
- Stand straight with your arms a little away from your body.
- A plain room, a dance studio or any simple background keeps the focus on the moves.
- One person per photo. The AI animates the biggest person in the frame.
Gives weak results
- Group photos, or a second person cut off at the edge
- Faces turned away, covered or in deep shadow
- Blurry or very dark photos
- Heavy filters, stickers or text on the photo
Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts
- Your video comes with the music of the original clip. To join the challenge, pick the official "ICONIC BY MISTAKE" sound by LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE on TikTok and turn the original sound down.
- Make one of yourself and one of a friend and post them side by side: the challenge started as a group collab.
- Use the tags people search for: #iconicbymistake, #iconicbymistakechallenge and #kpopdance.
- Keep the caption short, like "iconic by mistake": the song does the work.
Add ICONIC BY MISTAKE by LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT & KATSEYE from the sound library of the app you post to, so your video uses the official track.
