Summary
- TikTok creator Sophia James launches "Group 7" social experiment
- Membership in the exclusive club depends on serendipitous discovery

As of October 24th, 2025, a new social media phenomenon has taken the TikTok platform by storm. The "Group 7" trend, launched by creator and musician Sophia James, has captivated the attention of hundreds of thousands of users.
The experiment began on October 17th, 2025, when James posted a series of seven videos, each representing a different "group." The key to becoming a member of the coveted "Group 7" was to randomly encounter the seventh video in the sequence on one's "For You" page. This serendipitous discovery has led to a sense of camaraderie among those who have been deemed worthy of the exclusive club.
The "Group 7" video has since amassed nearly 19 million views, 2.6 million likes, and over 119,000 comments, making it the clear winner in terms of online engagement. While James referred to the project as a "little science experiment," it has evolved into a clever marketing strategy, as her new single "So Unfair" was featured in each of the videos.
