BTS‘s Jin surprised ARMY in more ways than one when he held a live broadcast in honor of RM‘s 28th birthday.
BTS’s Jin | Weverse
Jin is currently in Los Angeles, California, so he couldn’t celebrate with RM in person. Alternatively, he held a live broadcast via Weverse in which he played the video game Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.

The live broadcast began cute and wholesome, especially as Jin rocked his self-designed “Good Day” pajamas and new fluffy hairstyle.

Yet, things took a turn quickly when Jin got invested in the game. He made video game sound effects for viewers…

It was not just sound effects coming out of Jin’s mouth but very loud and vocal frustrations towards the game.

While it was sometimes so loud that it would be a risk to wear headphones…

It would be an even greater risk not to wear headphones if you live with family or friends. One could easily misinterpret the sound of Jin’s moaning as not innocent gaming but a much more mature form of entertainment.

We’re certainly not envious of BTS’s translators.

Speaking of… It’s not just the sounds Jin made.

Even what he said sounded sus when taken out of context!

It got to a point where ARMYs were straight-up panicking. They even begged him on Twitter to calm down.
these trends sound like we’re calling him out because of his moan “seokjin.. jinnie… JIN PLEASE” pic.twitter.com/6q23XBIoKJ

Naturally, many couldn’t help but laugh during it. Especially considering the broadcast was initially for RM’s birthday.
I may have missed Joon blowing out his birthday candles this morning but I didn’t miss jin sounding like he was being blown

They also had to wonder what RM’s reaction was to the “exciting” live broadcast held in his honor.
does namjoon know what seokjin is doing in his name and honor right now

On the other hand, others kind of were enjoying it…

While Jin’s vocal reactions and sound effects were enough to make the live broadcast NSFW, we have to commend him for restraining from letting profanities fly.
