BTS Jin's new music video showcases Singapore landmarks in collaboration with tourism board
KUALA LUMPUR, May 17 — BTS member Jin's latest music video (MV) for his English single Don't Say You Love Me highlights iconic Singapore locations in a collaboration between the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and South Korean entertainment giant BigHit Music, The Straits Times reported.
Released on May 16, the MV prominently features the National Gallery, Gardens by the Bay, Goldhill Plaza, and five other landmarks as Jin and South Korean actress Shin Se-kyung portray a couple drifting apart. The track is the main single from Jin's second solo EP Echo, launched on the same day.
The three-minute, 25-second video takes viewers across the Lion City's attractions, including Anderson Bridge, Emerald Hill, Marina Bay, Keng Eng Kee Seafood, and the Singapore Flyer. Scenic shots include the pair running through the National Gallery, strolling Gardens by the Bay, and sharing moments in an apartment with a Marina Bay view.
Shin is also seen walking along Emerald Hill at night and dining at Keng Eng Kee Seafood, a Michelin-listed zi char spot in Bukit Merah, while Jin shot dramatic scenes atop Goldhill Plaza's rooftop carpark.
STB's executive director for North Asia, Serene Tan, described the partnership as leveraging K-pop's global influence to showcase Singapore as a vibrant travel destination.
'Jin's worldwide popularity provides a valuable platform to present Singapore's charm in a highly engaging and relatable way,' she was quoted as saying.
STB previously collaborated with BTS member J-Hope and K-pop boy band Seventeen to produce short videos spotlighting Singapore during their world tour stops.
Tan added that STB is exploring more projects with K-content, including drama and variety show productions, to further inspire global travellers to visit Singapore.
The full MV can be viewed on BigHit Music's official YouTube channel.

J-Hope Scores At The Box Office, Earning A Top 10 Movie — After One Night
J-Hope's Hope on the Stage live viewing earns $4.1 million globally, breaking into the U.S. box ... More office top 10 for the May 30 to June 1 weekend. PARIS, FRANCE - JANUARY 20: J-Hope of BTS is seen outside Dior, during the Paris Fashion Week - Menswear Fall Winter 2023 2024 : Day Four on January 20, 2023 in Paris, France. (Photo by) J-Hope has spent 2025 releasing solo smash after solo smash, with only short breaks in between his drops. He has scored several new Hot 100 hits in just the past few months, and he has a new tune coming soon — one that will likely become a charting success as well. The BTS singer and rapper hasn't limited himself to streaming platforms and digital download storefronts when looking for commercial success. The South Korean musician recently appeared in cinemas around the world with a one-night-only event — one that helped him secure one of the top theatrical wins at the box office. The BTS superstar recently released his film J-Hope Tour: 'Hope on the Stage' in Japan - Live Viewing. The one-night-only event brought fans of the singer-songwriter and rapper together in theaters around the globe to watch live as he performed from Osaka during one of the final dates of his solo trek, the Hope on the Stage Tour. Despite the fact that the live viewing took place during just one evening, it still managed to bring in an impressive sum at the box office and stand out as a top performer. According to Box Office Mojo, J-Hope's film earned just under $940,000 at the box office in the U.S. alone. That figure is enough for the movie to land at No. 10 on the list of the highest-grossing films in America during the weekend of May 30 through June 1. When looking globally, the live viewing brought in just over $4.1 million. More than three-quarters of that figure coming from territories outside the U.S. J-Hope claims the third loftiest debut on the ranking of the top-grossing films in America during that weekend. He lands behind new arrivals Karate Kid: Legends and Bring Her Back, which brought in $20.3 million and $7 million, respectively. The weekend's grosses were still dominated by the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, which led the charge for a second consecutive frame with nearly $62 million. The last installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise holds steady at No. 2 with $27.2 million. A top-grossing film is just another feather in J-Hope's cap, proving that 2025 is a huge year for him. He has already accrued three Hot 100 hits, upping his career total considerably with "LV Bag" alongside Don Toliver, Speedy, and Pharrell Williams, "Sweet Dreams" with Miguel and his own "Mona Lisa" — all of which spent time on the tally. Later in June, he will drop "Killing It Girl" featuring rapper GloRilla, which will almost certainly become a hit across a variety of Billboard rankings, especially those focused on hip-hop.

Doctor Who: Watch Jodie Whittaker Nerd Out Over New TARDIS During Her ‘Emotional' Return to Set
The following contains spoilers from the Season 15 finale, now streaming on Disney+. Since Doctor Who let fly with its timey-wimey Season 15 finale on Saturday, we've heard from exiting lead Ncuti Gatwa, his heir semi-apparent Billie Piper, and showrunner Russell T Davies. More from TVLine MobLand Finale Recap: The Harrigan Rat, Revealed! Plus: Grade the Episode Exiting Doctor Who Star Ncuti Gatwa Cheers His Companions, 'Captain Poppy' and Two 'Legends' From Finale Squid Game Final-Season Trailer Reveals Deadly Spin on Jumprope, Asks: Why Is Gi-Hun Still Alive? But the true delight is seeing Jodie Whittaker — who popped up as Thirteen during 'The Reality War' — first lay eyes on and unabashedly nerd out over the new TARDIS set that succeeded her three-season run on the iconic sci-fi series. 'Oh my God, it's massive!' she remarks, unironically, upon passing through its doorway in the BTS video below. 'Beautiful,' she deems the set that Gatwa got to call home for two seasons. 'Isn't this immense.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by BBC iPlayer (@bbciplayer) Whittaker goes on to say she felt 'incredibly hyperactive' upon returning to the series' soundstage in Cardiff, capital of Wales, and grew 'incredibly emotional' when she reunited with crew members who worked there during her Season 11-13 run. Then there is the matter of donning once again Thirteen's trademark Time Lord fit. 'I was like a pig in poo,' the English actress shares. 'I was a delighted it still fit,' she adds with a chuckle, 'and delight that I still look class!' Whittaker's three-minute encore was brought about when Fifteen's mission to fix the 1-degree shift in reality caused by the ending of Conrad and the Ranis' Wish World had ripple effects. 'I popped out of my timeline because there's a great big time schism on its way, caused by you,' Thirteen explained. Before Thirteen left, Fifteen said, 'I love you, Doctor.' Taken aback, in a good way, she noted, 'I never say things like that' — and wondered aloud if should express such a thing to her companion Yaz/Yasmin Khan (played by Mandip Gill). But Fifteen assured his predecessor, 'She knows.' Want scoop on (any potential new season of) , or for any other TV show?
