“The way my jaw dropped…”
Koreaboo
Just now
A 4th-gen idol recently left the internet in complete stitches after broadcasting an unexpectedly “risqué” message to his fans.
The idol in question, Xikers member Hunter, was caught in this awkward situation while communicating with fans via a fan communication platform a few days ago.

During this interaction, the idol innocently asked his fans how they would react if they unexpectedly met him in person. However, his message, which he wrote in Korean, was auto-translated into English as “How would you react if I said, ‘I’m going to masturbate?’”

Though Hunter followed it up with a correct English translation, some fans notified him about the Papago translation, leaving him completely flabbergasted. After a brief moment of panic, he clarified the meaning of his original message yet again, adding, “The word ‘Jamanchu’ got translated strangely.”
