'Taekook' crumbs: BTS' V squishes Jungkook's cheeks and recreates viral aura farming TikTok video with him, watch
V squishes Jungkook's cheeks while travelling
BTS members Kim Taehyung aka V and Jungkook are known for their close, family-like bond. Their natural skinship often fed the delusions of the "taekook" shippers. In their latest livestream, held through V's Instagram account, the duo showcases their usual synergy. Towards the end of the short broadcast, V squishes Jungkook's cheeks, just like he used to do earlier.
It was a deja vu of that one moment when Jungkook claimed that his cheeks were not squishy and V quickly proved him wrong by hilariously compressing his face. Many fans expressed it to be a dream to be able to share such moments with Jungkook. The singer duo's antics brought back fond memories for fans, reminiscent of the carefree times when the BTS members would enjoy each other's company and share lighthearted moments.
V and Jungkook recreated viral aura farming and partner reveal Tiktok videos
V and Jungkook proved that they are chronically online by recreating viral TikTok trends during the livestream. They did the iconic hand movements that the viral 11-year-old Indonesian boy did in the video. For those unfamiliar with the trend, it is called "aura farming challenge", and features a little boy standing on the edge of a boat, doing his little dances, as the boat was rowed in full speed.
The challenge earned its name, as the boy in the original video exuded an unconscious aura, while "farming" referred to accumulating points or experience, a term commonly used in online gaming The BTS duo also hopped on to the partner reveal challenge with V pulling Jungkook in the camera space through a hand gesture. Fans adored watching them have a great time and were eager for more interactions like that.

Vatican bets on ‘hot priests' to attract Gen Z followers, spread the gospel online
The Vatican is taking an unconventional route to evangelism by tapping 'hot priests' with large social media followings to spread the Church's message online. More than 1,000 priests and friars have been invited to Rome amid declining congregation numbers worldwide, part of a push to reach younger generations. More than 1,000 priests and friars have been invited to Rome amid declining congregation numbers worldwide.(Instagram) As reported by The Telegraph, this unusual outreach strategy includes figures like Father Giuseppe Fusari, a bodybuilding priest from Brescia, Italy, who boasts over 60,000 Instagram followers. Fusari believes social media holds the power to bring people 'closer to the Church.' The 58-year-old often shares images showing off his tattooed biceps alongside spiritual reflections, appealing to a broad age group, most of his followers fall between 25 and 55. Another priest, Father Cosimo Schena, has been dubbed Italy's 'most beloved' priest after his online presence helped nearly double the size of his congregation. The 46-year-old has over 454,000 followers on Instagram, where he combines pet adoption requests with gospel teachings. Father Ambrogio Mazza, known for his guitar-playing and bike-riding lifestyle, is also part of this new wave of digital evangelists. With more than 460,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok, Mazza shares selfies that show him embracing both faith and fun, earning him praise from followers who describe him as 'beautiful' and 'elegant.' The late Pope Francis had long emphasised the importance of social media in reaching global audiences. His successor, Pope Leo XIV, has continued the effort, maintaining a strong online presence and regularly engaging with his nearly 19 million followers. This is not the first time the Church has leaned into aesthetics for outreach. In 2022, a calendar featuring attractive Roman priests made global headlines, reportedly selling over 75,000 copies annually.
