Shavkat Rakhmonov sparks new social media trend
Rakhmonov, known for his stoic expression, often posts videos on TikTok where he wears a bucket hat and stares seriously into the camera, accompanied by a beautiful string instrumental background. One of these videos unexpectedly caught the attention of not only his fans but also figures from the sports and entertainment industries.
"He looks like he’s got the whole division scared," one follower commented.
"Bro, don’t mix up the back camera with the front," another advised.
"Rakhmonov’s trend," declared a third user.
The trend has been picked up by actors from the "Şam" theater and the lead singer of the band "Irina Kairatovna." Even a video surfaced featuring UFC champion Jon Jones staring into the camera with the same music playing in the background.
