BTS’s Jungkook casually paused a live performance.
ENTERTAINMENT
While performing Soda Pop live, BTS’s Jungkook suddenly paused to highlight a subtle lyric that sounded reversed, and the internet instantly lit up. Surprisingly, even Andrew Choi, the seasoned vocalist behind “Jinu” in Netflix’s K‑Pop Demon Hunters, confessed he hadn’t noticed the mistake until Jungkook mentioned it. In that single moment, Jungkook transformed from fan to sharp‑eared critic, proving once again that true artists catch the nuances most people overlook.
Jungkook Spots a Lyric Slip in Soda Pop — And Andrew Choi Didn’t Even Realise
It all went down during Jungkook’s surprise solo session on Weverse on July 14, 2025. While singing along to Soda Pop — the bubblegum‑pop OST by the fictional Saja Boys from the hit Netflix film K‑Pop Demon Hunters — Jungkook paused mid‑song and casually pointed out a minor lyric mix‑up. According to him, what was supposed to sound like “seonge chajiana” was sung backwards as “seonge jachiana.” He joked that it “sounded like it had been recorded in reverse.” What’s wild? Andrew Choi, the singer behind Jinu’s vocals, revealed he hadn’t even noticed the mistake — and apparently, no one else had either until Jungkook flagged it .
The whole situation instantly went viral on social media. Fans were in awe — calling Jungkook a “true artist,” praising his sharp ear and calling the mistake‑spotting moment pure perfectionist energy Sportskeeda. Meanwhile, Andrew Choi was full of praise in his reaction to the clip:
“The thing I love about Jungkook is that he sings with such ease… Jungkook’s performance is 11 out of 10. Jungkook pointed out a mistake in the movie's OST ‘Soda Pop.’ I didn’t even notice it. No one seemed to have noticed it until Jungkook took a listen. So, thank you, Jungkook, for that.”
Why K‑Pop Demon Hunters and Soda Pop Are Taking Over
In case you haven’t heard, K‑Pop Demon Hunters is the animated Netflix musical that debuted June 20, 2025. It’s been dominating streaming charts in 93 countries and clinching No. 2 on Billboard 200 (peaking No. 1 on the Soundtracks chart). The fictional pop groups HUNTR/X and Saja Boys are rival demo‑bands — one of which is fronted by Andrew Choi’s Jinu — and both are charting alongside real K‑pop giants
“Soda Pop,” performed in‑film by the Saja Boys, is intentionally styled as a bubbly, addictive boy‑band single — in the vein of BTS’s Butter. It doubled as a trailer track and instantly stuck with viewers.
Andrew Choi himself, known for placing third on K‑pop Star Season 2 in 2013, is now recognized as Jinu’s singing voice in the movie. Born in 1980 in Busan, he’s signed to SM Entertainment and was in total surprise when Jungkook flagged that lyric slip — something he and the production crew hadn’t caught.
What Makes This Moment So Special
Performer meeting fan meeting professional: Jungkook is both a fan and a musical peer. His catching a subtle backward lyric inside a production track gained praise worldwide.
Andrew Choi’s reaction is pure humility — and it's rare to see a professional sing directly praise another artist like that on a public platform.
