EXO’s Kai and ATEEZ’s San Team Up for Viral ‘BAD’ Dance Challenge

As reported by Allkpop on July 25, 2026, EXO’s Kai and ATEEZ’s San have finally joined forces for the viral “BAD” challenge. The short-form video immediately drew attention as two of K-pop’s most celebrated performers delivered a collaboration fans had long hoped to see.

Kai and San brought flawless synchronization to the routine, pairing sharp, precise movements with undeniable stage presence. San, who recently went viral for his own “BAD” performance and earned the fan-given nickname “Northern Duke” for his charismatic visuals and commanding aura, matched Kai’s effortless style throughout the challenge. Kai once again proved why he is widely regarded as one of K-pop’s premier performers, making the pairing even more memorable.

The response from the fan community was immediate and enthusiastic. Social media lit up with reactions calling it “the collaboration we’ve been waiting for,” and describing the duo as “two performance kings in one frame.” Many remarked that the clip felt more like a full-fledged performance than a typical short-form dance video, praising the pair’s chemistry as “unreal.”
