Fans were divided on whether it was actually BX acting as AI or really an AI reading the prompter.

Ah it’s just him pretending to be Ai lololololol

Fans were so sure that it was really him that filmed the video.

• Isn’t he looking at the script next to the camera with his eyes? Isn’t this the real him and not AI?
• Isn’t he laughing in the middle, AI? Or is it the real BX laughing at himself? But why would they just post this if was a blooper?
• I can hear him rolling his eyes all the way from here lol.
• Isn’t this just human BX briefing? Are you sure it’s AI? He’s totally holding in his laughter?
• No but I really think it’s just the real BX that filmed it.

Amidst the huge debate, BX officially responded and revealed the answer behind the teaser video.

No, that’s not me acting, it’s AI lolol. It probably learned my voice and my expressions.

K-Netizens that saw this were shocked that this came out as an album concept.

• “I don’t want to say this, but really? Couldn’t he just have filmed it himself? This is kinda scary.”
• “This is scary.”
• “Wow to use this as a comeback teaser?”
• “Wow I really thought it was him acting after seeing fan reactions.”
• “Is this right?”
• “Wow…”
• “I thought he was acting as I read the post, but after scrolling down…what the…”
• “This is so Ai.”
• “I don’t know the guy personally but after seeing that it’s Ai, his eyes and mouth look awkward.”

With this, more AI videos of 4 members will be released in the future. On the other hand, the album is set to drop on January 24!
