BTS’s Jungkook And V’s Groove To ‘Aura Farming’ Dance

During the short live stream from a car in Los Angeles, the two artists, affectionately known as TaeKook, were seen grooving to music. Without a word, they mimicked the signature rhythmic hand motions made famous by 11-year-old Rayyan Arkan Dhika. The duo’s dance coupled with their infectious laughter and effortless charm, instantly lit up social media with fans gagging over their unchanged bromance despite their time apart from during their military service period.

The Aura Farming Trend

The “aura farming” phenomenon originated from a video of young Rayyan, who was dubbed the “ultimate aura farmer” for his cool-headed dance step on  a speeding canoe during Indonesia’s traditional Pacu Jalur boat race. His calm  demeanor, while performing a demanding cultural role, created a mesmerizing contrast that captured the attention of millions.

The eight-minute surprise IG live by Jungook and V drew global attention and became a hot topic online. BTS’ The Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism reposted the video on its official social media handle to recognize the huge influence of the duo in showcasing Indonesian culture to a global audience. Further, the trend’s original creator, Rayyan, has also been recognized for his fame, being named a Tourism Ambassador for his home province and receiving a government scholarship.
