Jay Park and CRAVITY‘s Taeyoung have debunked “beef” rumors.
It all began when Jay Park appeared with ENHYPEN on their TikTok account. He did two of their dance challenges, “TFW (That Feeling When)” and “Future Perfect (Pass the MIC).”
@enhypen 재범 선배님과 함께해서 영광이었습니다👍❤️ #ENHYPEN #JAKE #SUNOO #JayPark #EN_TFWChallenge #EN_TFW
They went viral with 4.1 and 13.5 million views, respectively.
@enhypen 투제이팍이 함께한 #FuturePerfectChallenge 짧은 시간에 완벽하게 해주셔서 감사합니다😂 역시👍 #ENHYPEN #JAY #JayPark #FuturePerfect #PasstheMIC
The latter became a meme on TikTok as netizens used Jay Park’s dancing in green screen videos.

Yet, it was not only a meme with K-Pop fans but even idols.

CRAVITY’s Taeyoung participated in a TikTok trend in which a filter assigns you a K-Pop company. While he is under Starship Entertainment in real life, he received HYBE. So, he danced ENHYPEN’s “Future Perfect (Pass the MIC)” choreography.
@cravityofficial pass the mic, pass the mic oh oh oh #CRAVITY #크래비티 #태영 #TAEYOUNG #NEW_WAVE
Netizens noticed that he appeared to be imitating Jay Park’s style of dancing, though.
And it didn’t end there. Taeyoung officially participated in ENHYPEN’s “Future Perfect (Pass the MIC)” dance challenge later.
@cravityofficial Since you guys recognize that ver…. I had to do it propely😉 #CRAVITY #크래비티 #태영 #TAEYOUNG #NEW_WAVE #FuturePerfectChallenge
Based on the caption, netizens felt that Taeyoung was “shading” Jay Park.
Fans have even mentioned the “Jay Park dance” to Taeyoung in person.
@hopeworldanne saw cravity today and idk why i even said this to taeyoung 😭😭 also wished them luck at kcon <33 #cravity #luvity #taeyoung #enhypen #fypシ #kpopfyp #ReTokforNature #kcon
As suspected, Jay Park knew just how viral his dancing had gone. Recently, he posted an update, revealing his progress.

Now, it’s another meme comparing Jay Park’s dancing side by side.

Yet, netizens also noticed that Jay Park seemed to have imitated Taeyoung in the new version. So, he definitely knew all that was going on.

Despite fans being convinced that the two were beefing, Jay Park and Taeyoung have proved them wrong now. Jay Park recently shared a selfie with Taeyoung at the gym, saying there is “Nothing but love.”

Jay Park added more context to his meeting with Taeyoung. He revealed that Taeyoung had come up to him and apologized.
He came said whats up sorry if i caused any disturbance i said no worries bro all in good fun and i said lets take a pic for the fans. Im 16 years older than him. Just trying to be a proper hyung. He just a kid. Best of luck to him 🙏💯

So, there are certainly no bad feelings between them.
