Everyone knows that Jin is currently enlisting in the army and he can't seem to appear on social media as an artist anymore according to m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ regulations. But recently, he was noticed again with a dance challenge video on Tiktok that surprised many fans.
In the video, Jin is even performing the choreography of Stray Kids' new song "S-Cla̾s̾s". After watching the viral video, in contrast to the excited reaction, many ARMYs expressed their concern and discomfort when Jin appeared in this video.
Here is the ongoing situation that has many fans expressing concern:
In fact, the members of BTS have repeatedly taken up dance challenges as part of promoting new songs on Tiktok. For example, Jungkook recently performed a dance challenge for the song "Super" with Seventeen's Mingyu, before that, SUGA or Jimin collaborated with Le Sserefim,... And all those videos created good effects.
That's why, when Stray Kids returned with "S-Cla̾s̾s" and spent time promoting it since the beginning of this month, many fans who love both Stray Kids and BTS are looking forward to the interaction between the two. Especially, at the beginning of this year, Jimin and Felix αccídєntally forged a lovely relationship, the more fans look forward to them being able to perform choreography together.
That led to the appearance of some clips of BTS members performing the choreography of S-Cla̾s̾s that were suddenly spread on SNS. But a more surprising thing is that there is also a video of Jin with peach hair that has caused a fever that makes many fans bewildered. In the video, Jin wears colorful outfits and is very focused on choreography.
These images surprised fans because he is in the middle of his m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service. Therefore, he is under the control of the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷, so he cannot do entertainment content as an artist. In addition, Jin's long hairstyle and color and outfit were not suitable for this time period.
After realizing its absurdity, fans found out that it came from a Tiktok account named @realfantreon. This account posts AI-edited videos and not only Jin but some other members like V have also been edited with AI to look like Stray Kids' dance challenge.
The uploaded video of Jin actually has the original image of Stray Kids' Hyunjin. Then, using AI technology, Jin with an “AI-ed” face was replaced on his body, giving a terrifyingly realistic view of what he would look like when performing the song.
While many fans were simply surprised and confused at how good the video was, many expressed their dislike of using AI in such a way. The use of AI on K-pop artists is said to cause misunderstanding or harm to many celebrities.
Along with that, in Jin's case, he is serving in the army and if many people don't know the truth about the source of the video, he could be misunderstood as not complying with m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ regulations. It also caused a lot of controversy regarding ethical issues and the majority of fans did not like this editing, both for BTS members and K-pop artists:
- I'm not the only one who seen it cuz I felt bad
- My reaction throughout the video: Jin? Wait no hyunjin? Oh wait that is Jin?
- I'm scared of Ai
- This is scary
- OH MY GOSHHH?! I THOUGHT IT WAS ACTUALLY HIMM
- I thought Jin was in the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷?
- that's so scary bro omg ai stop bro
- This is actually scary. The way I was legit confused by how real this looks.
