‘Taehyung spams the most, RM ghosts’: BTS’ Jin fails lie detector test twice, wants ARMY to stop calling him this name

Jin gives TMI about BTS group chat

The host asked the boys if they had a personal group chat with just the septet, and Jin nodded. But contrary to their fun, chaotic vibe, the name of the group chat is just Bangtan Sonyeondan — BTS’ full name. The host then asked him which member talks the most and spams the group chat. After flinching and hesitating a bit, Jin admitted it’s V,  then laughed when the lie detector confirmed he was telling the truth. He was then asked who’s the worst texter, and Jin said it’s RM. When asked if he himself is a good texter, Jin replied, “I go off-topic sometimes.” The oldest member of the group was also quizzed on whether he had any unread messages on his phone, and he said yes. “I haven’t read messages from my hometown friend.”  He continued, “It’s just useless to talk about games.” When asked if he thinks his friend talks about useless things, Jin said, “It’s useless to me right now because I’m not playing that game.” 

Will BTS’ Jin accept a film offer from an Oscar-winning director?

Jin has always had a knack for acting, and the Epiphany singer has casually dropped hints about his interest over time. He’s already appeared in a few variety shows and even landed one of his own, which was graced by none other than Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise. During the lie detector test, he was asked if he’d consider acting in the future. He said no, but that turned out to be a lie. Still, despite clearly wanting to, he insisted he has no real desire to become an actor, saying, “It requires a lot of work and effort. It’s an intimidating challenge for me to take on.” Even when asked if he’d accept an offer from Bong Joon Ho,  the director behind Parasite, Memories of Murder, The Host, and Snowpiercer, Jin replied, “I still don’t want to do it.”

Jin got caught in a second lie when he was asked about fans comparing him to a hamster. He said, “I don’t like it, but if fans want to call me that, I’m fine with it”. But as it turns out, that was a lie too. During the segment, the host brought up how the singer once said he wanted to be a journalist if he hadn’t become a performer. When asked if he still feels that way, he said, “No, I don’t want to be a journalist anymore. I’m fulfilled by the work I’m doing now. And as I learn more about the world, I don’t think I’d do a good job in that career.” The one question that had him hesitating the most was probably when he was asked which member he missed the most during their military days. He was pushed to name one, so he picked Jungkook. The oldest and the youngest bond have always been a fan favourite.

On the work front, BTS is set to make their musical comeback in 2026. Six out of seven members are already back from the military. Suga, who’s serving in the private sector, is the only one left. Meanwhile, BTS’ agency BIGHIT is gearing up to debut a new boy band, juniors to BTS and TXT.
