Filipino MOAs are over the moon once again because of Yeonjun's TikTok video.

It is another win for Filipino fans of South Korean boy group Tomorrow X Together or TXT as its member, Yeonjun, joins another OPM trend on TikTok.

Yeonjun thrilled the TikTok world and MOAs when he uploaded his entry to the “Marikit Sa Dilim” dance challenge last night, February 19, 2024.

The K-pop star did it by replying to a TikTok video of shimmssang, a MOA who was dancing to the challenge and tagged TXT's account.

He wrote, “I'm here.” Indicating that he heard MOA's requests.

Just like his other TikTok dance challenges, Yeonjun did the “Marikit Sa Dilim” with extreme swag and coolness that netizens and fans loved.

Vlogger and Ivana Alawi's younger sister, Mona Alawi, also commented on the video.

To top it all off, Yeonjun even tried lip-syncing to the OPM song that got him the tag from MOAs, “Filipino boy.”

“Marikit Sa Dilim” is a song by Juan Caoile and Kyleswish featuring JAWZ, which was recently released.

Meanwhile, Yeonjun's TikTok video has reached more than 6.5 Million views and 1.7 Million comments.

Yeonjun's entry to the “Marikit sa Dilim” challenge gave fans hope that his fellow K-pop idols might join the trend as well because he has made TikTok challenges viral before.

This was not the first time the K-pop star did a Filipino TikTok challenge.

In 2021, he joined the “Ginseng Strip” challenge popularized by Filipino TV and movie actor, Joshua Garcia. His video currently has 8.5 million likes as of February 2024.
