“Did he say goddamn lost or got them lost”: Hilarious debate sparks online following BTS’ RM’s ‘LOST!’ teaser release 

On May 23, 2024, HYBE LABELS dropped the teaser for BTS' RM's upcoming title track, LOST!, on their official YouTube channel. The teaser featured four people standing in the middle of a dimly lit room.

The four individuals were donning grey suits, looking at the ceiling. However, when RM's voice echoed, the individuals looked straight into the camera.

Now, RM's voice and what he said has sparked online debate among ARMYs, who have been left confused about the wording of Kim Namjoon's lines. While some fans believe he said, "God Damn Lost," others think they heard "Got Them Lost" or "God they lost."

This has now sparked a hilarious debate online.

"did he say goddamn lost or got them lost or god they lost," one user tweeted.

Netizens started debating among themselves regarding the wording of RM's lyrics for LOST!. The fandom even weaved different kinds of theories to support their opinion.

"I heard it thrice and I heard GODDAMN LOST... So Team GODDAMN LOST. Watch it be whole another thing like everytime in the end," a user said.

"Got them lost, that's what my ears are picking up. you usually enunciate the d and n is often picked up at the end if it's goddamn but it's not, i hear voiceless th so i think it's got them lost. or i could be lost in all this and totally wrong," another fan said.

"I heard it with my good headphones and trust me it's GOT DAMN LOST. he clearly pronounced it as GO<T> with the "t" sound clear at the end; if it was god damn he wouldn't pronounce the "t" sound it'd be goddamn like one word," another user reacted.

However, some fans dug deeper into the meaning of the two words and concluded that Kim Namjoon would be incorporating both of them. While some were confused, others seized this opportunity to flaunt their knowledge about BTS' RM's past work.

"From my experience covering Joon's work: it's not one or the other ("got them lost", "goddamn lost", etc)-- knowing the way he plays with words to make them sound like many things at once.I think he was going for ALL OF THE ABOVE. Maybe recorded them separately to layer 'em," one fan reacted.

"God damn lost. Also going by Namjoon's lyricism, I think he would rhyme and keep both "God damn lost" and "Got them lost," another user commented.

"Me trying to figure out if what joon said on the LOST! mv teaser is “goddamn lost” or “got them lost” or “got damn lost," another fan wrote.
