The Zootopia challenge trend is proving unstoppable. After going viral with TWS thanks to the explosive response to the Shinyu, Dohoon and Kyungmin version, the challenge is now picking up fresh momentum as Close Your Eyes members Sungmin, Yeojun and Ma Jingxiang join in with their own take.
Their video quickly began circulating across fan communities, praised for its playful energy and clean execution. Each member brought their own charm to the challenge, adding a softer, more expressive flavour that contrasts nicely with the sharp, youthful intensity seen in the TWS version. The duality has made fans eager to compare how each group interprets the challenge, which only fuels the trend’s growth.
Close Your Eyes is already gaining attention this year thanks to their rising visibility, and hopping onto the Zootopia challenge trend amplifies that momentum. The virality also fuels the upcoming Close Your Eyes tour.
The timing is ideal. With TWS driving the first wave of virality, Close Your Eyes stepping in widens the audience reach and keeps the trend alive. This kind of inter group participation not only boosts engagement but also signals a growing culture of cross-momentum moments within fifth gen K pop.
The Zootopia challenge trend shows no signs of slowing down, and with more idols likely to join in, it may continue to reshape the end-of-year social media landscape.
