BTS members V and Jungkook sent the internet into a frenzy after hosting a surprise livestream from their car while in Los Angeles. Despite the time difference, with it being the middle of the night in India, fans worldwide tuned in or caught up later to witness the pair’s unfiltered, affectionate interaction. The livestream, brief but loaded with endearing moments, felt like a comforting throwback to BTS’s earlier days, when such spontaneous content was more common.
One of the standout moments came towards the end of the broadcast, when V affectionately squished Jungkook’s cheeks—an act that instantly reminded fans of a past interaction where Jungkook had insisted his cheeks weren’t squishy, only to be playfully proven wrong by V in real-time. That memory resurfaced in full force during the stream, with fans reacting emotionally and humorously to how little has changed between the two over the years. Their chemistry felt effortlessly natural, the kind that comes with a relationship built over more than a decade of shared life, growth, and experiences.
The broadcast wasn’t just about cute throwbacks, though. It also served as a window into V and Jungkook’s playful, socially aware side. Both artists showed they are completely in tune with internet culture by joining in on trending TikTok challenges during the stream. They recreated the “aura farming” dance, mimicking the hand gestures of the now-famous Indonesian boy standing on a boat, whose nonchalant moves became symbolic of cool, effortless energy. For fans familiar with the reference, it was hilarious and surprisingly accurate to see two global stars go all-in on such a lighthearted, niche trend.
Adding to the entertainment, the two also participated in the viral “partner reveal” challenge. V initiated the trend by dramatically pulling Jungkook into frame, a playful and theatrical gesture that fans immediately recognized and adored. The way they leaned into these moments without hesitation gave viewers a sense of their ease with one another and their desire to simply have fun—without any heavy production or scripted content.
The livestream might have been unannounced and short-lived, but it was filled with authenticity and laughter. For many fans, it served as a reminder of what made BTS feel so accessible and lovable in the first place. With both V and Jungkook currently fulfilling their military duties, moments like these have become all the more precious. Fans are now left rewatching clips, sharing edits, and hoping for more spontaneous moments like this in the future—proof that even in limited appearances, Taekook’s bond continues to be a comforting force for the BTS ARMY.
