BTS’s RM had a rough start to his US trip for the group’s new album. During his first livestream, he accidentally dropped his phone in water—breaking his mic and wrecking the stream.
He caught on fast to the problem.
“Oh sht, I think my mic is fcked up.”

Fans pointed out his voice sounded underwater. RM facepalmed and ended the stream after only 2 minutes.
He tried drying his phone but couldn’t fix it. RM apologized on Weverse and promised a group livestream later.
“I couldn’t fix the mix…
Later, [I’ll go live again] with the members ^^;; (awkward)”
“Srry!!
I’m sorry mic broken issue”
— RM
Fans immediately flooded Twitter with memes poking fun at RM’s phone disaster.
Tweets went viral, joking about RM “stuck in the microwave” and dropping his phone in soup.
The ordeal made for a hilarious, if awkward, start to BTS’s album promo in the US. Fans are now waiting on the promised group livestream to make up for it.
