About a year ago, BTS fans almost forgot about Weverse Live's live broadcast feature. Obviously, BTS members were all in the military, so no one could chat with fans via live broadcast.
However, things have changed in the past few months since Jin and j-hope were discharged from the military. Jungkook even υиєχρє¢тє∂ly knocked on Weverse Live's door at the end of last year, during his military leave.
Meanwhile, j-hope has been constantly opening chat sessions with ARMYs on Weverse Live since he started his musical comeback. Most of the time after his concerts, j-hope would meet fans online and share many interesting stories.
During the rapper's broadcast on March 19, an "incident" related to Weverse Live's translation ѕнσ¢кed fans. ARMYs couldn't believe their eyes when they watched the English translation of j-hope's lyrics made by Weverse.
Specifically, while chatting with his fans over a late-night meal, j-hope hummed a few lines from his upcoming new song - Mona Lisa. His part actually is: “Shes’s so ѕєχy. I'm obsessed”.
However, Weverse's automatic translation feature seemed to make a mistake and mistranslated his meaning as: "Come on, it's s3x. Eat it".
When fans saw this translation, they were stunned and confused. Some fans suggested that if this translation was taken out of context during the live broadcast, many "other thoughts" would happen in their mind:
- It seems to take English as кσяєαn and then translate that into English. He's speaking English and the subs say soмєтнing completely different. Hope it can be fixed before June chaos
- Don't you think they know us too well? What a way to convince us, clever.
- i prefer the unpaid ones
- they probably thought "since it's not accurate, let's make it worth the price!"
- Oh, I have some screenshots when it was free auto-translate!!! OMO!!
- I have the paid ones and it’s the same and at times really bad with what pops on the screen.
- Thirst trap for business they know what excites us
- The translator has already expired the membership
- Weverse promo to get us to pay for translations is insane
Meanwhile, Weverse has been developing an automatic translation feature during live broadcasts in recent years to help fans understand the gist of what their idols are saying. However, the feature sometimes makes a mistake or two — and they are often unstable.
Fans have witnessed many "funny" and "awkward" moments due to Weverse Live's translation errors. Typically, like Jin’s next level nonsense, Suga’s TMI announcement, Way too much information about j-hope’s “brother”,...
Fans couldn't help but laugh and these moments quickly became MEMEs on social media!
