(Video) From Video Game Scams To Acting Career: 5 Things We Learned From BTS Jin's Lie Detector Test
Fans said they felt nervous for him, too, but were equally entertained by the content. That said, we also learned quite a few things about the idol. Here are some of our favourite moments from the episode:
1. He was scammed by video game sellers
Jin considers himself someone who isn't easily fooled. However, when it comes to video games, he admits he can be swayed by an enticing offer. The singer revealed that he had been scammed by sellers who promised valuable in-game items, but sadly took his money and left him empty-handed.
2. He misses Jungkook the most out of all his members
As the segment was filmed some time ago, the interviewer asked Jin which of his BTS bandmates, who were still completing their military service at the time, he missed the most. Initially, he replied that he missed all of them, but when the machine detected deception, he admitted he missed the maknae, Jungkook, the most.
3. He thinks his single 'Super Tuna' is cheesy
Making music is all about having fun, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with an artist releasing a silly song every now and then. Jin released 'Super Tuna' back in 2024 and admitted he finds the song cheesy, so much so that he hoped people wouldn't take it too seriously. In fact, he even asked fans not to start a dance challenge to the single.
4. He has no desire to become an actor
Despite holding a degree in acting, Jin has no desire to pursue a career in it. However, the polygraph detected deception, though the idol insisted he was telling the truth, even if offered a role in a Bong Joon Ho (봉준호) film. He went on to explain that the reason he doesn't want to become an actor is that it requires a great deal of effort and feels like an intimidating challenge to take on. Still, fans remain hopeful that they'd get to see Jin show off his acting chops one day.
5. He hasn't replied to his friends' messages
It's not particularly surprising when an idol hasn't had much time to reply to messages from friends and family. However, Jin admitted he still hasn't responded to his friends back home, as he feels the conversations don't offer him anything meaningful. When asked to elaborate, he explained that they mainly talk about video games he doesn't play, so he has nothing to contribute to the discussion.
It's important to note that this particular lie detector test isn't entirely reliable, as the examinee can influence the results by controlling their physiological responses. That said, when the examinee is under significant stress, the results may also be inaccurate, so it's best not to take Jin's answers too seriously.

Push or protect? K-pop bodyguards face scrutiny after viral Zerobaseone airport video
SEOUL, Aug 6 — Videos of bodyguards pushing fans at South Korean airports have renewed debate over the use of excessive force during celebrity arrivals. A recent video clip of boyband Zerobaseone's manager pushing fans and raising his fist while shouting 'Move out of the way' at an airport went viral on social media, reigniting debate on unacceptable escort security measures in public spaces. 'There is no strict rule requiring idols to have security at airports, but it is typically arranged for safety reasons. Also, in some countries, the crowd cannot be controlled, which makes bodyguards even more necessary,' The Korea Herald quoted an entertainment company official as saying in an article published today. 'While much of the footage shows the bodyguard's aggression, bodyguards typically try to handle the situation calmly and gently, but fans sometimes get pushed or fall in the process. Although the bodyguards' actions in these moments cannot be fully excused, they respond this way because the situation is urgent and demands quick decisions to protect the idol, as well as maintain order.' The South Korean news agency also quoted BTS member V also calling for better crowd behaviour during a recent livestream. 'I hope people can maintain order instead of causing chaos,' the singer was quoted as saying, adding that 'airports are not private venues, but shared spaces for everyone.' He referenced the 2018 'Purple Line' campaign, a fan-organised initiative at the Los Angeles International Airport where BTS fans formed orderly lines with purple ribbons to ensure the group's safety. Authorities at Incheon Airport say tighter crowd control remains a challenge, The Korea Herald reported. 'While restricting fans from crowding arrival and departure zones would be ideal, such measures are hard to implement effectively in real-world airport settings and require coordination with multiple departments within the airport,' an airport official was quoted as saying. To improve safety, Yongin University professor Kim Tae-hwa proposed a 'safety management plan'. 'The safety plan would allow entertainment companies to submit detailed protocols outlining how security will be managed at the airport, including the specific routes the celebrities will take,' he told The Korea Herald. 'Having a formal safety plan would help inform the public, especially fans, about what is allowed and what is not. For example, it could include clear rules that ban fans from coming within three metres of the celebrity. When these guidelines are in place, fans are more likely to follow the rules and less likely to get too close, reducing chaos,' he added.

Necessary or excessive? K-pop security at airports sparks debate
K-pop boy group Zerobaseone's security guards are seen pushing the bands' fans. - Screenshot from X/The Korea Herald/ANN SEOUL: Bodyguards clad in black security vests are a familiar sight at airports in South Korea, often accompanying celebrities through large crowds of fans who sometimes get too close or behave in an unruly manner. But the actions of some security guards and managers have sparked debate over the use of excessive force. Last week, a video of K-pop boy group Zerobaseone's manager pushing fans at an airport and appearing to raise his fist circulated on X. In the video, the band's manager is heard shouting 'Move out of the way,' which is then followed by a loud thud, suggesting that someone may have been pushed or the camera was struck. While some view the security measures for celebrities as excessive, airport security escorts for idols are necessary due to safety concerns, according to industry insiders. 'There is no strict rule requiring idols to have security at airports, but it is typically arranged for safety reasons. Also, in some countries, the crowd cannot be controlled, which makes bodyguards even more necessary,' an official at an entertainment company, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Korea Herald. 'While much of the footage shows the bodyguard's aggression, bodyguards typically try to handle the situation calmly and gently, but fans sometimes get pushed or fall in the process. Although the bodyguards' actions in these moments cannot be fully excused, they respond this way because the situation is urgent and demands quick decisions to protect the idol, as well as maintain order,' the official explained. Recently, V of BTS also asked fans to be 'mindful of public space' during a Weverse livestream, noting that airports are 'not private venues, but shared spaces for everyone.' 'I hope people can maintain order instead of causing chaos,' the singer said, as he referenced the 'Purple Line,' a safety campaign launched by BTS' fandom, Army, at airports in 2018. At the time, some 20 fans gathered at Los Angeles International Airport holding purple ribbons — the group's official color — and formed orderly lines to help ensure the bandmates' safe arrival and departure. Amid growing calls to address the chaos caused by celebrity arrivals and departures, an official at Incheon Airport described the authorities' difficulties. 'While restricting fans from crowding arrival and departure zones would be ideal, such measures are hard to implement effectively in real-world airport settings and require coordination with multiple departments within the airport,' the official told The Korea Herald. As excessive celebrity security continues to become a widespread issue, Kim Tae-hwa, a professor at Yongin University's Department of Security Service, suggested implementing a 'safety management plan.' 'The safety plan would allow entertainment companies to submit detailed protocols outlining how security will be managed at the airport, including the specific routes the celebrities will take. This kind of structured planning could help prevent the poorly managed situations we are seeing today,' Kim said in a phone interview. 'Having a formal safety plan would help inform the public, especially fans, about what is allowed and what is not. For example, it could include clear rules that ban fans from coming within three metres of the celebrity. When these guidelines are in place, fans are more likely to follow the rules and less likely to get too close, reducing chaos,' Kim said. - The Korea Herald

Actress Bella Astillah had to present award to ex-husband's rumoured fling

Photo: TV3/YouTube There was an awkward moment at Malaysia's Melodi Hottest Awards 2025 on Aug 3. Malaysian singer-actress Bella Astillah was one of the presenters at the event broadcast live on TV3 from Putrajaya International Convention Centre. The 31-year-old was presenting the award for the winner of the Hottest Female Celebrity category with Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman. Bella was visibly uncomfortable after she opened the envelope and saw the name of the winner. 'I know this one... I know her very well. Sophia,' she said, referring to Malaysian actress Sophia Albarakbah. Sophia, 32, went on stage after her name was announced. Bella swiftly passed her the trophy and a bouquet of flowers without making eye contact or acknowledging her. In early 2023, Bella accused Sophia of trying to wreck her marriage with her then husband, Malaysia-based Singaporean actor Aliff Aziz. Aliff and Sophia had both starred in the drama series Ku Akad Kau Dengan Bismillah (2023). Bella and Aliff, 34, first divorced in 2019, but reconciled in 2020. They divorced for the second time in June 2024 after Aliff was caught in khalwat (close proximity) with Malaysian actress Ruhainies, 33. Sophia was asked about the incident with Bella after the ceremony. "I'm OK because we're in the same industry. I never felt as if I was being mocked. Maybe that's just her way of presenting the award," she told entertainment portal Gempak. For the record, Bella and Syed Saddiq won in the Hottest Celebrity Couple Goals category, but she did not speak to the media. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
