This term has carried serious cultural discussions, as it can affect the workplace and interactions between people. Because BTS live streams reach millions of viewers across different cultures and age groups, the jokes were interpreted very differently depending on who was watching.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time the situation has sparked debate. We already reported on this controversy shortly after the December 16 live stream, and the discussion has now resurfaced following Pannchoa\u2019s coverage. During the broadcast, Jimin jokingly asked if Jin was turning 50, RM and J Hope chimed in with playful comments, and V mentioned a 60th birthday party. Jin laughed throughout and even joked that someone once thought he was turning 70. On one side, some fans accused the members of crossing a line and voiced their disagreement online by criticising the BTS members and their comments about Jin&#8217;s age.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eternalhyyh\/status\/2000873056387076236?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2000873056387076236%7Ctwgr%5E56ea392d4551c327c19fe4a30af388ee92afdce1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicmundial.com%2Fen%2Fbts-jokes-about-jins-age-spark-online-backlash-after-december-live-stream%2F\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udc25 Hyung, aren&#39;t you turning 50 next year?<br \/>\ud83d\udc39 \ud83e\udd23<br \/>\ud83d\udc28 I think he&#39;s somewhere around that now<br \/>\ud83d\udc3f It changes every year<br \/>\ud83d\udc2f Hyung, please lmk when you&#39;re having your 60th bday feast<br \/>\ud83d\udc25 \ud83e\udd23<br \/>\ud83d\udc28\ud83d\udc30 60th birthday party<br \/>\ud83d\udc39 The last time he asked me if it was my 70th\ud83d\ude02<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8AneBj8y2X\">pic.twitter.com\/8AneBj8y2X<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \ud83d\udc99 \u1d2e\u1d31\ubc14\ub2e4\u2077 \ud83d\udc90 (SLOW) \ud83d\udc99 (@eternalhyyh) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eternalhyyh\/status\/2000873056387076236?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">December 16, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote><p>Jimin: Hyung, aren\u2019t you turning 50 next year?<\/p>\n<p>Jin: laughs.<\/p>\n<p>RM: I think he\u2019s somewhere around that now.<\/p>\n<p>J-Hope: It changes every year.<\/p>\n<p>V: Hyung, please lmk when you\u2019re having your 60th bday feast.<\/p>\n<p>Jimin: Laughs<\/p>\n<p>Jungkook, RM: 60th birthday party.<\/p>\n<p>Jin: The last time he asked me if it was my 70th, laughs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<p>On the other side, many fans defended BTS, pointing out that this teasing has been part of their dynamic for over a decade.
