The TikTok trend featuring PinkPantheress' song Illegal, especially the line 'My name is Pink and I'm really glad to meet you,' has become a sensation on the platform. With over 841,000 videos to date, influencers such as Huddy (39.7 million views), Brooke Monk (23.4 million views), and PinkPantheress herself (37.8 million views) have transformed this quirky handshake into one of TikTok's most viral events of 2025.

Funny, Wholesome, and Weirdly Addictive

The trend's appeal stems from its amusing contrasts, like 'girlfriend personality vs. boyfriend personality', all conveyed through a deadpan handshake and a punchline: 'Is this illegal?' Celebrities including YUNJIN and JIHYO, duos like Taylor and Sophia, and creators such as @lucyymourad have enthusiastically participated.
