College Student Goes Viral Kneeling at Brother’s Feet to Thank Him for His Sacrifices
In 2022, 27-year-old graduate named Ying Chanita went viral after kneeling at her brother’s feet during her convocation ceremony to honor the sacrifices he made to support her education.
The deeply moving gesture resonated online, capturing hearts worldwide.
Ying and her brother Nattapong Chanapol grew up with their mother, a low-income rubber tapper, making school a struggle.
Thirteen years ago, Nattapong left his own studies to help support the family, putting his sister’s education and future above his own aspirations.
Thanks to her brother’s sacrifice, Ying could continue her studies without adding financial strain.
Motivated by his support, she persevered and earned her degree in public administration from Rajabhat University in southern Thailand.
At the ceremony, her actions were deeply symbolic. In Thai culture, kneeling before someone expresses gratitude and respect.
By honoring her brother publicly, Ying showcased not only her appreciation but also the profound impact of his quiet, selfless devotion to her education and well-being.
Today, Ying works at a private company, helping ease the family’s financial struggles.
Her story has resonated with many online, reminding people of the extraordinary ways siblings support each other, and proving that love and sacrifice within families often leave the most lasting marks.
Punch has gone viral again after older monkeys comforted him following an accidental fall into a pond at the zoo.
Caretakers later confirmed that he had fully recovered, eating well, playing with peers, and running around energetically as if nothing had happened.
Back in 2016, Park Geon Roung was one of the child actors who starred in the Baby Shark Dance video, which went on to become the most viewed YouTube video of all time.
He was just a kid then, and now at 17, he is showing the world just how beautifully time flies.
Geon Roung never stepped away from the spotlight. Since 2019, he has been part of Play With Me Club, a South Korean co-ed kids group, keeping his place in showbiz.
Fans who rediscovered him recently were stunned, with many saying he now looks just like a K-pop idol.
The ‘Baby Shark’ video was uploaded to YouTube in June 2016 by Pinkfong, a South Korean education brand.
It quickly became a staple in nursery schools and a go-to distraction for parents of toddlers worldwide, turning into one of the most recognizable children’s songs of its generation.
For many who grew up watching that video on repeat, seeing Geon Roung at 17 is a quiet reminder of how fast kids grow up.
One day they are dancing to baby shark, and before you know it, they are teenagers the internet is falling in love with.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa is going viral after visiting Punch, the baby Japanese macaque at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan.
She posted the moment on her Instagram Story, showing full love to the beloved viral monkey. The photos spread across social media almost immediately.
What made the visit even more special was what Lisa brought with her.
She carried an orangutan plush toy identical to the one Punch is famous for clutching, the same toy that once comforted a baby monkey rejected by his mother and turned him into a global sensation.
