I Was Still Practicing Sweet Dream, and Then J-Hope Dropped Mona Lisa… HELP.
Listen, I was still (struggling) to master the Sweet Dream challenge (Yes, it was taking time, but I swear, I was about to get it) Then BOOM, J-Hope said, “Mona Lisa”, and now the whole internet is spinning in slow motion.
I mean, sir, can we breathe? Can our knees rest? Can our brain process one choreo before you throw another at us?
No? Okay, cool.
Now, let’s be honest—we don’t actually know how to do the Mona Lisa challenge either. But since we’re all in this mess together, let’s break it down as best as we can.
Step 1: Accept That You’re Probably Going to Look Awkward at First
You know that cool, effortless swag J-Hope has? Yeah, we don’t have that. But we can at least attempt the signature moves:
The slow-motion hand wave (like you’re painting your masterpiece… or wiping a table)
The body roll (which might look more like a body collapse at first)
The head tilt and smirk (confidence level: not yet achieved)
If you get any of these down without looking like you’re short-circuiting, congrats. You’re already ahead of 80% of us.
Step 2: Let’s Cheat—Find a Slower TikTok Tutorial
Even J-Hope himself tried to teach us how to do it. Crazy, right? Like, sir—do you actually think we can keep up with your speed?
Best bet? Scroll through the Mona Lisa challenge hashtag and find someone who breaks it down at a speed that doesn’t make you cry.
Some kind souls on TikTok literally slow it down and explain it step by step (bless them). Otherwise, it’s just J-Hope moving at 2x speed while we blink in confusion and question our life choices.
Step 3: Pick a Struggle—Outfit or Dance?
J-Hope looks effortlessly cool in the challenge. We? We have choices:
Look stylish but dance like a malfunctioning robot
Get the moves right but in pajama pants and socks
Of course, if you want to channel true J-Hope energy, dressing the part might help. A cool oversized tee, some streetwear vibes… You know, something that screams “main character” even if your dance moves say “background extra.” (Need inspo? Check out our K-pop collection for that perfect look. )
Choose wisely.
Step 4: Fake It ‘Til You Make It
Here’s the real secret: If you act confident, people might think you know what you’re doing. So:
Strike a Mona Lisa pose before you start (bonus points for a dramatic stare)
Add slow-motion effects to make your dance look smoother than it actually is
If all else fails, just vibe and hope for the best
Step 5: Post It Anyway & Pray for Virality
It doesn’t matter if you nailed it or flopped spectacularly—post it. The challenge is going viral, and maybe, just maybe, J-Hope will see it and appreciate your… effort.

Okay, but for real—this challenge is taking over the internet. If you haven’t tried it yet, what are you waiting for? Get up, throw on some J-Hope-level confidence, and become the art piece you were meant to be.
Are we going to master it? Probably not.
Are we going to try anyway? Absolutely.
Good luck. You’ll need it.
