The magic of RRR's ‘Naatu Naatu’ refuses to subside.

“Do you know Naatu? We are happy to share with you the Korean Ambassador Chang Jae-bok along with the embassy staff Naatu Naatu!!” it said in a tweet. The video, which has a duration of fifty-three seconds, has both Korean and Indian workers grooving to the song. Chang Jae-bok, the country's envoy to India, also appears, as he does the hook step of ‘Naatu Naatu,’ a song picturized on Ram Charan and Jr NTR, the lead actors of RRR.

Many in the comments section lauded the performance. “Wait wait wait now the Oscar will go to Ambassador Chang for giving a tough competition to @tarak9999,” tweeted a user, tagging Jr NTR. “Loved it! Grateful for (to) the Korean Embassy,” said another, while a third said ‘those 3 guys till the end - you did splendid without giving up.'

The MM Keeravani composed number has been voiced by Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava and choreographed by Prem Rakshith. In January, it became the first song from India to win the Best Original Song award at the Golden Globes, and has been nominated in the same category at the upcoming 95th Academy Awards (Oscars).
