The results showed that there was a significant effect between the intensity of TikTok dance challenge use on the social interaction of teenagers at SMPN 15 Banjarmasin. This can be seen from the significance value of 0.000 <0.05, thus the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. The regression equation obtained Y = 5.015 + 0.765X. The R Square (R²) value is 0.660. 66% of social interaction variables are influenced by the intensity of TikTok dance challenge use, the remaining 34% are influenced by other factors. This study adds a new perspective compared to previous studies. By exploring the dance challenge trend, this study provides deeper insights into how creative and participatory activities on TikTok, such as dancing, can influence the way teenagers interact. It is hoped that further research will involve more schools and integrate qualitative approaches to gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon studied.]]>
