Another feature of the popular app that idols are getting used to is TikTok lives, which is another version of the live broadcasts idols have always done for fans. Of course, given that idols are adapting to this new style of talking to fans, there have been some amusing hiccups, like when GOT7‘s Jackson Wang abruptly ended his for the most endearing reason.
Stray Kids‘ Bang Chan is the latest idol to try going live on TikTok, and fans couldn’t have been more excited. The idol already holds weekly live broadcasts for fans, Chan’s Room, which he always makes the time for.
So fans were endeared that Bang Chan also decided to try doing TikTok lives on occasion, although the idol didn’t want to make plans for them, wanting them to be “very free” on the timing and frequency.
“oh you know what… let’s just make my tiktok lives just very free… it’s all up to me and we’ll just see if you guys are ready for it” AHHH BANG CHAN?? pic.twitter.com/kL4VWsvvni

And while the live broadcast was filled with the idol’s typically sweet moments…
Daily reminder from Chani: Don't cry everything's gonna be ok. :]

Fans were also laughing as they watched Bang Chan struggle in real time to figure out how to use the app. First struggling with figuring out how long he’d been broadcasting.

And then trying to figure out how to end the broadcast, which led to an incredibly abrupt ending that fans weren’t expecting.
