Taehyung and Jungkook share adorable moments in their recent Instagram live
"Aura farming" is the viral trend where people do something simple such as striking a pose, making confident gestures, or performing with charisma to project a powerful “vibe.”
The trend originally blew up globally because of an 11-year-old Indonesian boy, Rayyan Arkan Dikha, who calmly danced on the tip of a speeding boat at a traditional Pacu Jalur event. His cool moves like blowing kisses, pointing skyward, and staying composed became the blueprint for “aura farming.”
Since then, celebrities like Travis Kelce, Marc Márquez, Steve Aoki, etc, have recreated the dance. Even K-pop artists like NCT WISH, ENHYPEN, RIIZE, etc have hopped in on the trend. Now, with Jungkook and Taehyung adding their own twist, the trend has become even more popular in the K-pop world.
However, the aura farming move wasn’t the only thing that had fans swooning. The live gave plenty of “Taekook” moments that made the ARMY gush. These moments included Taehyung squishing Jungkook’s cheeks, Jungkook commenting “V” on his live while sitting right beside him, and more.
The Instagram live thus seemed to have turned into an unexpected treat for the fans who have always adored the Taekook duo.
