Background

J-Hope expressed in a V Live stream that the original "Chicken Noodle Soup" by Webstar and Young B was meaningful to him because he often listened to it when he first began learning to dance. J-Hope wanted his version of "Chicken Noodle Soup" to be featured on his debut mixtape Hope World as the track represented his passion for dance. He also wanted the track to feature another artist; but as a collaboration failed to occur, the track was not released in 2018.[3]

J-Hope and Becky G met at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards in May, with J-Hope previously saying that he would like to collaborate with her.[4]

Becky G and J-Hope contributed to writing the trilingual lyrics, which center around one's identity and paying respect to their roots.[5]

Release

Big Hit Entertainment released the song on September 27, 2019, during BTS' hiatus period. It was released for free on multiple platforms, and a download link of the mp3 file was provided on Big Hit's Twitter account.[6]

Following the release of the music video, both Young B. and DJ Webstar voiced their enthusiasm for the "Chicken Noodle Soup" remake separately on social media.[7]

J-Hope also issued an Internet dance challenge, encouraging his fans to try the choreography. He posted a video of himself doing the dance on BTS' official TikTok, and filmed fellow BTS groupmates Jungkook, Jimin and V dancing to the song on V Live.[8]

Music video

The music video was directed by Yongseok Choi of Lumpens, and co-produced by Nathan Scherrer. It was shot in Los Angeles and features over 50 dancers of different nationalities.[9]

The video incorporates dance moves from the original "Chicken Noodle Soup" dance, as well as new choreography that includes flapping elbows with bent legs to mimic a chicken. The video ends with an informal clip of the dance crew singing and dancing. This addition was requested by J-Hope with the intention of capturing the positive energy on the day of the film shoot.[3]

Promotion

After Becky G tweeted "#BeckyHasAnotherSecret", BTS tweeted at her saying "I have a secret too..." with the hashtag "#CNS" on September 26.[10]
