“Best Hyung”: Kevin Jonas Reacts To MOA’s Thread About Him
Many K-Pop fans had been part of other fandoms prior. For many, it was other music groups or boy bands, such as One Direction, Big Time Rush, or the Jonas Brothers.
So, the Jonas Brothers’ collaboration with the K-Pop group TXT is a full-circle moment. Since the single “Do It Like That,” produced by OneRepublic‘s Ryan Tedder, was announced, fans could not help but make jokes likening the JoBros to a K-Pop group.

In many ways, the Jonas Brothers have been in their K-Pop era. They not only met up with TXT to record a MV and TikTok…

They even released their own concept photos, including a group photo and one of each brother. Not to mention it was styled the same as TXT’s.

Netizens felt like they were in an alternate timeline, seeing the Jonas concept pics. Yet, some were hopeful we might get photocards of our OG biases.

To add to the fun, a MOA (TXT fan) tweeted a prompt, encouraging others to tweet about the Jonas Brothers as they would tweet about TXT. At the time of writing, 1,679 MOAs quote-tweeted.

The possibilities were endless, and MOAs went for it. Also, what we’ve gathered is that Joe Jonas is many people’s bias, but personally, we’re OT3.

MOAs never expected one of the brothers to respond to any of these posts, though.
Tami (@tvmisfrl on Twitter) shared a photo of Kevin Jonas hugging Joe. She captioned it, “kevin being the best hyung 🥺 – a thread.”

Some of us were genuinely curious to check out of the thread…
And this included Kevin himself. So, when he clicked the “thread,” only to realize it was fake, he wanted to know what was up.
Wait… where's the thread??
— kevin jonas (@kevinjonas) June 30, 2023
Since Kevin himself responded, tami felt obligated to fulfill the promise…
OMGGGGGGG KEVIN I LOVE YOU, I’LL DO IT 😭😭😭💗💗💗💗
— tami ♡ (@tvmisfrl) June 30, 2023
So, the thread was created. Tami was not playing around, after all.
