BTS’s Jin is facing controversy after his candid comments on Weverse about taking more ad offers than other members. Fans quickly picked up on his statements, sparking a heated discussion online.
The controversy began when a fan pointed out Jin’s recent surge in advertisements. He responded honestly:
"Ah… It’s just that I did a lot of them. The other members have dozens, even hundreds, of ad offers too. They’re just choosing not to do them. I’ve turned down more than a few dozen myself… I think I won’t be taking on any more for now since I want to focus on the current one. (But if something suddenly comes along that I really like, I might change my mind.)"
Jin’s comments came shortly after he was announced as the new model for Dongwon Tuna. This left fans buzzing about the selective nature of BTS members’ ad campaigns.
Here’s what fans are saying:
"Why not…? Please do more ads, I’m begging you."
"So it’s just that the offers don’t match them?"
"Aren’t they preparing for a group album? I guess they’ll take care of things in their own way."
Some fans argued about the implications:
"If we find out which brands made offers, people are going to start listing who rejected what. Yikes."
"Better to film ads while the offers are coming in. What if they stop coming?"
Despite the mixed reactions, many fans supported Jin’s selective approach:
"Celebrities usually filter offers as they get bigger. Not every ad is worth doing."
It’s clear that Jin’s straightforwardness has sparked a mix of concern and support. Will other BTS members follow suit? Fans are eager to see how this unfolds.
