Yet, their latest post has raised eyebrows.
Currently, a new trend, “Just Give Me My Money,” has overtaken the video-sharing app. Its objective is to prank someone in a group. Everyone takes turns saying, “Just give me my money,” usually with a jokey voice and unique movement, which the rest of the group applauds. The prank’s victim receives dead silence and no applause after their turn. Most netizens don’t seem to know who started the trend, though.

Yet, one thing is certain: P1Harmony has started the trend in the K-Pop community, with AMPERS&ONE recently joining. Their video has 1.5M views at the time of writing, as netizens confess that P1Harmony’s video left them scarred.

P1Harmony’s video has especially gone viral, garnering 6.3M views and 1.5M views on TikTok and Instagram, respectively, at the time of writing. Yet, the virality is primarily due to netizens’ mixed reactions.

In P1Harmony’s video, Jiung was the victim. Many fans and even non-fans got second-hand embarrassment watching the moment.
Some netizens joked that if they were Jiung, they would have either gone on hiatus or left the group straight-up after the members embarrassed him. Fans also feel like Jiung has been embarrassed and pranked far too many times now, and they feel bad that he’s always the victim and the punchline of jokes.
Netizens have gone so far as to say it’s the “worst trend” so far.

Keeho is definitely a prankster, and it’s one of the things we can’t help but love about him. One of the group’s most viral videos was a “pass-the-phone” prank by Keeho in which he gave different trend instructions to all the members. Soul thought it was a “dinosaur imitation,” Intak thought it was OOTD, Jongseob thought it was a push-up contest, Theo thought it was a “do your best British accent” challenge, and Jiung thought it was a “who would I trade my body with for one day” challenge.

Since their “Give Me The Money” video went viral, Intak held a live broadcast. He explained how Keeho recruited him and how they filmed it, and he credited Jiung with the video’s virality.

Do you think the challenge is a harmless prank or too embarrassing?
