BTS‘s RM recently arrived in the US to work on the group’s new album — but things have already gone different than he planned.
During his first livestream, he shared that he dropped his phone in water.
It was then he realized that something was wrong with the livestream.
Oh sh*t, I think my mic is f*cked up.

He facepalmed at his mistake as fans told him he sounded like he was underwater.
He decided he will try drying his phone again and proceeded to end the stream after only being live for 2 minutes.
He went on Weverse to share that he couldn’t resolve the issue but would make it up to fans with 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 quickly made memes out of the moment, with numerous tweets going viral.
