The National Library Board has declared a national emergency after millions of Singaporeans suddenly realised that books contain words rather than just serving as aesthetic coasters.

The mass intellectual awakening occurred after BTS leader RM was photographed within five metres of a poetry collection, prompting local fans to purchase the entire national stock before the ink had even dried.

Sociologists note that the average Sinkie’s literary depth has surged from "scrolling TikTok comments" to "pretentious Korean existentialism" in a record-breaking twenty-four hours.

"Wah lau, I usually only read GrabFood menu one," admitted 29-year-old ARMY member, Cheryl Teo.

"But if RM hold the book, I must buy and pretend to understand lor, if not very paiseh right?"

The government is now desperately trying to get Jungkook to hold a brochure on basic civic decencies.

This satire is based on a real news story.
