“Life goes on mv playing with mic drop lyrics is diabolical”- Fans hilariously react to BTS’ RM’s karaoke session update with his ROK military friends

BTS leader and rapper Kim Nam-joon, also known as RM, recently amused fans with a lighthearted moment from his military service. Serving in the Republic of Korea Army (ROKA) since December 2023, RM recently shared updates on Instagram showcasing a day out with his fellow soldiers. While activities like ice sledding and ziplining drew attention, it was a karaoke session that caught fans' attention the most.

In a short clip, RM’s comrade was seen passionately singing BTS' energetic track Mic Drop in a small karaoke booth, surrounded by disco lights and a lively atmosphere. However, fans were quick to notice a peculiar detail—the music video playing on the screen was for Life Goes On, a gentle and reflective song vastly different than Mic Drop.

The rapper humorously captioned the moment with “#chillguys,” sparking waves of laughter across social media.

Fans took to platforms like X to joke about the unexpected pairing. Many highlighted the stark contrast between the two songs, with Mic Drop as a powerful hip-hop anthem laced with heavy bass and electronic beats, while Life Goes On offers a soothing, acoustic sound with uplifting lyrics.
