Imagine singing along to a cute, catchy boy-band bop from an animated film—and still having the laser focus to stop mid-note and go, “Wait. That’s not right.” That, dear readers, is Jungkook. On July 14, 2025, during a casual solo livestream, BTS’s golden maknae started singing “Soda Pop,” the opening track from the animated movie K-Pop Demon Hunters. But instead of just vibing, he paused mid-chorus to point out a lyrical glitch that 99.9% of humanity never even noticed.
The original line was supposed to be “seonge chajiana” but in the track, it came out as “seonge jachiana.” Harmless? Maybe to the untrained ear. But to Jungkook’s elite-level auditory radar? Absolutely not. He caught the subtle error in a split second and even joked about how it sounded like the words were swapped. The internet? Exploded. Fans? Ascended.
And then came the twist. Andrew Choi—yes, the professional vocalist who literally sang the song for the film’s character Jinu—admitted he didn’t notice the mistake himself. In an interview, he said Jungkook’s musical instincts were so sharp, it actually helped him realize what had gone wrong. His words? That Jungkook is a “born artist” with an “11 out of 10” performance style. And this wasn’t just flattery. Choi gushed about Jungkook’s natural ability to sing with ease, grace, and depth—even while casually catching production errors like a boss.
And the fans? Oh, ARMY delivered.
Posts and tweets raved about Jungkook’s impeccable musical ear, calling him a “powerhouse” and praising his “soul, precision, and detail.” Some even pointed out that this isn’t a one-time thing—Jungkook has a long history of noticing the smallest details in performance and production. He doesn’t just perform songs. He hears them on a different plane of existence.
Let’s all take a second to appreciate how outrageous—but totally on brand—this is:
- Man’s just chilling, singing a cartoon OST, and catches a syllable slip like he’s reviewing a studio master.
- The guy who sang the song was like, “Wait, what? Oh wow, he’s right.”
- Jungkook paused mid-vibe to gently drag a professionally mixed track. Because that’s what excellence looks like.
- And somehow he did it without being rude. Just casually, respectfully, “Hmm, sounds flipped to me.” Iconic.
This is what happens when talent meets obsession with quality. Jungkook isn’t just an idol. He’s an artist with instincts so sharp, he can catch a mispronounced syllable in a song he didn’t even record—and do it live on camera with no script, no plan, and no ego.
And Andrew Choi? Instead of being defensive, he bowed to the skill. That’s mutual artist-to-artist respect. It’s refreshing, it’s humbling, and it’s also kind of hilarious that Jungkook’s casual karaoke session turned into an unintentional QA audit for a movie soundtrack.
So while K-Pop Demon Hunters keeps collecting streams and fans bop to “Soda Pop” like nothing’s wrong, there’s one person in the world who’ll always know the truth. And he caught it live, while singing, with a smile.
Long story short: Jungkook didn’t just clock a mistake—he reminded us what it means to have standards. The man doesn’t miss.
