A Rookie Boy Group Is Going Viral For Their “2023 World Scout Jamboree” Performance — Because Of Some Unexpected PDA In The Crowd
After a lot of controversies and changes in the lineup, the 2023 World Scout Jamboree concert finally went ahead, showcasing some of the best stars in K-Pop.
Despite all the concerns ahead of the show, the actual concert was a hit.
While the show was outstanding, one group that has gone viral for the most unexpected reason is Xikers.
Since debuting, the group has become one of the rookies of the year with their catchy songs, strong performances, and unreal stage presence.
It was no different when they performed at the concert and stole the hearts of fans watching live and at home through the live stream. The members of Xikers had unrivaled energy as they performed in front of all those attending.
Yet, one moment particularly stood out and quickly went viral. During their performance of “DO or DIE,” when the camera panned to the crowd, two of the intentional male scouts seemed to be living their best lives…
Before, one of them grabbed the other and kissed him on the lips.
After the performance, a Korean netizen shared the video on social media.

When the tweet was shared, it quickly went viral amongst Korean and international fans, especially considering Korea is seen as very conservative.
In particular, international fans couldn’t get over the fact that it had been shown, with many explaining that it’s what happens when crowds hear such good music, praising Xikers for such an amazing show.

Xikers managed to get the crowd so hyped that the PDA (public display of affection) happened out of nowhere, and it’s introducing a lot more fans to the talent and charisma of Xikers.
