In a show of appreciation, Son uploaded a clip of her dancing to the song and a thank-you message on her Instagram Wednesday.

“I have prepared the 'response dance' to thank him for his enthusiasm,” she wrote. “Please stay healthy and live long, grandpa ― I was surprised to see you dancing right on the beat.”

Ji said he looks forward to performing with Son.
