A Brazilian woman named Natalia from Paraná state, Brazil, had a fortunate escape from a robbery recently, all thanks to a clever trick involving a military service photo of BTS member Jin.

As reported on July 18th by Brazilian media RIC Mais, the 21-year-old Natalia managed to evade a robbery attempt earlier in the month by displaying a photo of Jin wearing his military uniform while serving in the active-duty army on her phone case.

Natalia said, "When he got the phone out of my hand, he turned it around and looked at the photo. He must have thought my boyfriend was in the military, since he didn't steal it. ".

She added, "The student said that the person who attacked him gave the phone back and then ran away".

Netizens had a field day with this amusing incident and shared their thoughts:

"Haha, that's impressive!"

"I initially thought the soldier in the photo was just a handsome guy, but it turned out to be Jin!"

"Her BTS bias protected her, lol!"

"I don't know much about BTS, but when I saw the first picture, I couldn't help but think, 'Oh, he's handsome…haha.'"

"What a relief, lol!"

"I couldn't recognize Jin at first, but I just thought he looked like a flower boy and scrolled down."

"This is a great life hack for traveling overseas!"

"This is so hilarious! By the way, what's up with Jin's visuals? Haha!"

"Phew, what a relief, haha!"

"Haha, I'm totally doing this right away!"

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
