Fans Hilariously React to Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries Commenting on BTS Jin’s ‘Super Tuna’ Music Video
On October 11, 2024, Kim Seok-jin of BTS unveiled the complete version of his hit single, “Super Tuna,”along with an official music video. Initially dropped on December 4, 2021—celebrating his 29th birthday—the new rendition has generated significant excitement among fans. They were particularly amused when the South Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF) took to YouTube to share their enthusiasm for the track:
“Oh! Super Tuna. I love it so much! Of course, I also like flatfish and Spanish mackerel! (Sharks, not so much…)” (translated via Google).
The BTS ARMY felt a wave of pride at the government’s recognition of Jin’s release. Social media, especially X (previously known as Twitter), was abuzz with fan reactions, with one follower humorously suggesting that the idol might be upset with them for the attention their promotion garnered.
“I absolutely love this!!!! Aaah, he’s gonna be so mad at us! Maybe he’ll come online to scold us…”
Prior to the music video’s release, Jin had teased both the MV and the track in a Weverse livestream on October 10, 2024. During this session, he humorously implored fans not to share or illegally stream the song, turning it into an inside joke between him and his supporters. Fans took to X, playfully claiming that they hadn’t streamed it, and yet the government was still aware of it.
“I can see the vision that Seokjin is gonna do a Weverse live and gonna scold us very hard. This would be the title of his live ‘Army, I told you not to promote it. Aren’t I?’ I can hear him rapping in one breath.”wrote one fan.
“That’s right. When we say BTS have a very unique audience, this is what we mean.”noted another fan.
“Jin, we didn’t betray you—they just fell in love with Super Tuna.”added another supporter.
Many speculated that Jin might discuss the incident in his upcoming Weverse livestream.
“And I would not be surprised if they made him an ambassador,”expressed one fan.
“HELPPPPP IRHEGAISHRHRB THE FACT THAT SEOKJIN SAID NOT TO SPREAD IT,”commented another.
“Lmao Seokjin, what have you brought upon yourself hahahahaha I love this,”wrote another fan.
