RM returned to Weverse with his signature charm and clumsiness during a live broadcast on July 7, which lasted just 2 minutes and 25 seconds. The unexpectedly brief session left fans amused and craving more. RM later explained that he had planned to chat longer and possibly share updates from his trip to Los Angeles, but the live ended early due to a mishap involving his phone.

During the stream, RM accidentally dropped his phone in water. While he tried to continue talking to fans and dry the phone at the same time, the device started experiencing mic issues. Realizing it wasn’t functioning properly, he wrapped up the live, promising to return after fixing the problem. Later, he posted a message on Weverse apologizing, saying the phone was beyond his ability to repair. Fans were amused rather than disappointed, calling it classic “Namjoon behavior.”

Reactions from BTS ARMY were filled with humor and affection. Many brought back RM’s long-standing nickname, “god of destruction,” referencing his reputation for unintentionally breaking or dropping things. Some fans joked about using a bag of rice to save the phone, while others expressed their love for his relatable and endearing personality.
