(Video) JJ Lin Has Been Suffering From Heart Problem For A Year; To Go On Break After Tour
The singer recently concluded his 'JJ20 FINAL LAP' World Tour at the Beijing National Stadium, wowing 100,000 fans. However, many people from the crowd noticed the singer in pain during parts of his performance. At one point, JJ Lin was bent over while clutching his torso and had a pained expression on his face. It wasn't until later in the concert that he revealed shocking news about his health.
According to JJ Lin, he had been diagnosed with a heart problem in April 2024. Since then, the singer has been on daily medication to manage his health and treat his condition. This news naturally came as a surprise to many fans, as JJ Lin has been on tour for the past year, performing at concerts every week. The singer spoke candidly about his condition, saying, 'The news really shocked me. I never thought that it would happen to me.'
The star continued, 'At the moment, I felt for the first time that the sands of time were slipping away fast. How long can I continue to sing? This question suddenly became very real.' Fighting back tears, JJ Lin also shared a message of gratitude for fans and their unwavering support, saying, 'You came from all over the world for more than 100 'JJ20' performances. I believe that my efforts, the team's hard work and what we made did not let you down.'
Following JJ Lin's confession, his agency shared a statement on his condition. The agency assured the public that the singer has been regularly seeing a doctor to manage his health. Additionally, the 44-year-old will arrange for more time to rest after completing his tour and other commitments. JJ Lin was also seen wearing a health monitoring bracelet on his right hand, presumably used to track his heart rate.
Fans are now urging the vocalist to take a much-needed break and prioritise his health, especially now that he has concluded his 103-show tour. We also wish all the best for JJ Lin as he navigates through his condition.
Check out the moment when JJ Lin reveals his diagnosis:

Cardinal Tagle at influencers jubilee: ‘Love cannot be generated by an algorithm'
Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle urged Catholic content creators gathered in Rome for the first-ever Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers to 'be discerning' in how they use their platforms, warning against the spiritual dangers of misinformation and manipulation online.

'You are not only influencers, you are also missionaries,' Tagle said during a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica on July 29, addressing more than 1,700 Catholic creators from 75 countries who came to the Vatican for the two-day event coinciding with the Jubilee of Youth.'Dear digital missionaries and Catholic influencers: Jesus loves you. Do not doubt him. Accept him as the greatest influence on your life. And through you, may the person of Jesus influence many people, human and digital spaces, so that God's truth, justice, love, and peace may flow to the ends of the earth,' he said. Organized by the Dicastery for Evangelization and the Dicastery for Communication, the jubilee marked a historic first for the Catholic Church: a large-scale Vatican initiative aimed at those proclaiming the Gospel in the digital age. Clergy and laypeople alike, many of them young and active on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, gathered to reflect on evangelization in the digital sphere. Pilgrims could be seen taking selfies under the dome of St. Peter's and exchanging social media handles in the colonnade. 'I've been meeting a lot of people who have content I follow and people who follow me,' 24-year-old American Sophie Chamblee from Indiana told CNA. Chamblee has more than 59,000 followers for her Instagram page, Playground Saints, where she shares cartoon stickers of the saints and posts humorous videos about imaginary conversations between the saints in heaven. 'Everybody here is after the same thing … so we all understand each other in ways that other people can't,' she said. In his homily, Tagle, pro-prefect for the Section for First Evangelization, shared a personal warning about the risks of digital manipulation: a deepfake video of him advertising arthritis medication recently circulated online. 'To influence consumers so that monetary profit may increase, some manufacturers resort to false advertising, even using famous personalities,' he said. 'I discovered videos generated by I don't know who, of me advertising medicine for arthritis.' Tagle, who was considered a papabile in the 2013 and 2025 conclaves, drew criticism ahead of the most recent papal election when a viral video showed him singing karaoke to John Lennon's 'Imagine.' His comments during the homily reflected on the moral complexities of navigating digital fame.'I pose this question: Will we let the water and blood of Jesus poured for love of us to be the true fluid of influence that will wash away all iniquity, falsehood, injustice, prejudice, manipulation, and violence?' Tagle asked the congregation. 'Let the love of God in Jesus and the Holy Spirit prevent various poisonous influences from flowing into human hearts.' Tagle also cautioned against mistaking technological connection for true Christian witness. 'God did not send to us a text message or an email, or a file document. Rather, God sent his Son,' he said. 'Love cannot be generated by an algorithm. Only a divine person with a human heart can love divinely and humanly, effecting profound and enduring change,' he added. As the Mass concluded, the pilgrims received a surprise visit from Pope Leo XIV, who entered St. Peter's to a sea of raised smartphones. Switching seamlessly between Italian, English, and Spanish, the pope emphasized the importance of authenticity and human dignity in digital evangelization. 'Science and technology influence the way we live in the world, even affecting how we understand ourselves and how we relate to God, how we relate to one another,' the pope said. 'But nothing that comes from man and his creativity should be used to undermine the dignity of others. Our mission — your mission — is to nurture a culture of Christian humanism, and to do so together. This is the beauty of the 'network' for all of us.' With artificial intelligence playing an increasingly dominant role in global communication, Pope Leo challenged influencers to examine their witness. 'This is a challenge that we must face: reflecting on the authenticity of our witness, on our ability to listen and speak, and on our capacity to understand and to be understood,' he said. 'We have a duty to work together to develop a way of thinking, to develop a language, of our time, that gives voice to love.' 'It is not simply a matter of generating content but of creating an encounter of hearts,' the pope said.--CNA

Middle Eastern influencers join Church's first digital missionary jubilee
For the first time in its history, the Church is celebrating a jubilee dedicated to digital missionaries, recognizing the vital role they play in spreading the Gospel in today's digital world. Among them are Catholics influencers from the Middle East, from lands where evangelization first began, shaped by persecution yet marked by deep resilience, and carrying with them a witness born from both suffering and unshakable hope.

Among them are Catholics influencers from the Middle East, from lands where evangelization first began, shaped by persecution yet marked by deep resilience, and carrying with them a witness born from both suffering and unshakable hope. A Chaldean voice for Christ online Among the participants is Father Simon Esaki, a Chaldean Catholic priest from California with Iraqi roots. He currently serves as pastor of St. Michael Chaldean Catholic Church in El Cajon. With over 100,000 followers on Instagram, he began focusing on digital evangelization during the COVID-19 lockdown. 'I was on social media before that, but during that time is when I really started to focus on spreading the Gospel using social media because of the closure of many churches. People were not going to church, and so I felt the need to go where the people were, which is on social media. I saw that people were using it a lot, and so I decided to start making videos to share the Gospel and to encourage people about their faith, to teach them, and to help them love Jesus more.' For Esaki, this work is part of his vocation: 'I see my social media work as an extension of my priestly mission, because my priestly mission is to help people know and love Jesus more. I do that at my church, but I also do that on social media.' He said he was moved to take part in the Jubilee of Digital Missionaries because of the source of the invitation itself. 'I was drawn to participate in this jubilee because it's a very special thing to receive an invitation from a dicastery of the Catholic Church itself, and so I really felt called to come here because of that. I think it's a very special and beautiful thing that the Church has initiated this… It's the Church gathering her children who are in the mission field, this very special mission field of the digital world, and it's the Church encouraging us, giving us tools, and uniting us to fulfill this great and beautiful mission.' Reflecting on the impact of the jubilee, Esaki added: 'I think that one of the fruits of this digital jubilee is that we are all being united in Christ in a very special way, because there's a real unity that comes with being physically connected to one another. Yes, we are all digitally connected over these years, but this is a real special physical unity, which is the goal of our life in Christ. It's to be united to him. And that's what I hope is the ultimate fruit of this: that we are able to unite with one another, and we are able to help others be more united to Jesus Christ in his Church.' Twins amplify the voice of Eastern Christians Also taking part in the jubilee are Charbel and Giovanni Lteif, Maronite Catholic twin brothers who manage some of the most prominent Christian social media accounts in the Middle East and North Africa. Through their platform, which has over 615,000 followers on Instagram, they aim to amplify the voice and presence of Eastern Christian communities in the digital space. Giovanni told ACI MENA, CNA's Arabic-language news partner, that he hopes their participation in this jubilee can offer encouragement to those just beginning their digital mission. He emphasized the need for the Eastern Christian world to be more visible and engaged. Charbel highlighted the value of learning from the experiences of other brothers and sisters in Christ and deepening his understanding of how the Church views the digital world. Together, the twins also carried an ecumenical message, underscoring the importance of unity between Catholics and Orthodox, especially in regions where Christians face persecution. They also issued a heartfelt call for prayer for peace across the Middle East and North Africa. From the peripheries of Lebanon to Rome Another participant from Lebanon is Michel Hayek, founder of Yasou3ouna, a popular platform dedicated to prayer and spiritual reflections. With over 85,000 followers on Instagram and 290,000 on Facebook, Yasou3ouna has become a space where thousands turn daily for comfort, encouragement, and faith. 'I chose to take part in the Jubilee of Digital Missionaries because I believe the Christian message must reach everyone, and today's digital platforms have become the new pulpit for bearing witness and proclaiming the faith,' he said. 'I feel a spiritual responsibility to use these tools in service of God's word, spreading hope and love in a world often overwhelmed by noise and superficiality.' This experience, Hayek said, also deepened his awareness of what it means to be a Christian from the Middle East. 'I carry a rich spiritual heritage rooted in the land of Christ, a land that, despite pain and trials, has witnessed the Resurrection. It teaches us to remain steadfast and hopeful in the face of suffering.' As a Lebanese influencer from Akkar, a marginalized region in northern Lebanon often overlooked and heavily affected by poverty and instability, Hayek sees his mission as giving voice to a Church that remains alive against the odds. 'I offer a testimony of a Church that is still vibrant, despite all the political and economic challenges. I bring a spirit of openness and dialogue, and a sincere commitment to peace and love. Through the content I share, I try to express the Eastern Christian faith in a modern, accessible way, one that speaks to hearts across the world.'--CNA
