If you're an owner of AirPods, you might have once or even more than once had incidents of lost AirPods along the way. For example, if you look at the device, there's no chance that these little tiny earphones will always be at your side whenever you like it. However, if you have lost AirPods more than once—like, for example, 33 times—the question only ends up with: How did you lose AirPods so many times?
This is not a joke, and it happened on one of the most popular Korean pop stars in the world, BTS lead singer Kim Namjoon.
What Happened, Namjoon?
Kim Namjoon, also known as RM in one of Korea's most popular idol group BTS, had revealed an interesting fact about him that the world shockingly absorbed—especially in social media. This weekend, Namjoon admitted in a live-streamed Q&A with BTS fans that he is somehow now on his 34th set of AirPods.
"Namjoon owning and losing 34 pairs of AirPods?????? Sprinkling AirPods all over the globe like a little AirPod fairy???? Santa Joon. Apple store regular Namjoon," said taehyung's perm [s/h] (@taehyungster)
"...imagine walking along han river and finding his airpods scattered around.... *sells them for $1000*" tweeted by Esu • エスエン (@Esu_N_)
If we will compute Namjoon's expense on this Apple device, a set of AirPod is equivalent to $160 with its full package of charging case. If Namjoon lost 33 times of this $160 worth of earphones, an estimated total of $5,000 would be the amount he lost on Apple. This amount can also purchase a brand new Mac Pro—if he's interested in buying it soon on the company.
The $5,000 amount Namjoon lost in Apple, however, is not actually on its accurate amount since the BTS member did not specify on whether what he lost is the $250 new high-end models of AirPods. This means that the amount must be higher than $5,000 if you wanted to figure out the exact amount Namjoon lost in the company.
Namjoon explained he misplaced the 33 pairs of AirPods—on an unknown timeframe—maybe since the group travels almost every day of their lives across the globe. However, Namjoon seemed to be a guy who often loses his personal belongings, and his loyal fans around the world may agree.
There's even a Twitter account solely created for his missing belongings existing over the years since he joined BTS.
The 'Namjoon's Passport' Twitter Account
Just like his own pairs of AirPods, Namjoon seemed to lost his passport so many times that the Twitterverse is making it a running joke for most fans. Still, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Namjoon's brand is valued at $8 million early this year, maybe that's why he's okay in losing some dollars on buying new AirPods.
