In the very first episode, "Lie" plays during a tense moment involving lead character Cheyenne Toussaint, a star ballerina caught in a tug-of-war between two rival companies. The deal occurs while she's away on a fishing boat, and upon returning to the dock, she is suddenly arrested.

After her release, she storms into her company's studio, furious about being replaced. As she moves through the halls towards her boss's office, the track plays in the background, matching the mood of the scene. Fans were quick to recognize the track and took to social media to celebrate the unexpected feature. BTS fans flooded social media with excited reactions after discovering Jimin's solo track "Lie" featured in a key scene of the show. One fan commented:

Jimin's solo track Lie explores temptation, identity, and inner struggle

Released in 2016 as part of BTS' WINGS album, Jimin's solo track "Lie" is co-written by Bang Si-hyuk, DOCSKIM, Pdogg, SUMIN, and the singer himself. The song explores complex emotional themes, including internal conflict, deception, and identity. Musically and lyrically, "Lie" delves into the psychological struggle of being trapped in a falsehood, yearning to return to innocence but feeling unable to escape a constructed reality.

The song is often viewed as a continuation of "Boy Meets Evil," the album's intro track performed by j-hope. While "Boy Meets Evil" introduces the allure of temptation, "Lie" reflects the aftermath—being consumed by it. The lyrics hint at the dissonance between the image one presents to the world and the person within, a theme particularly relevant for artists under constant public scrutiny.

While some fans' interpretations suggest the song might touch on the vocalist's personal experiences with body image and the pressure to meet certain expectations, these interpretations remain speculative and unconfirmed. As with many tracks from "WINGS," "Lie" also contributes to the broader storytelling within BTS' HYYH (The Most Beautiful Moment in Life) universe, tying into the group's ongoing exploration of youth, temptation, and growth.

Park Jimin is currently fulfilling his mandatory military service as a South Korean citizen, with his discharge scheduled for June 11, 2025. He is serving alongside BTS members Suga, RM, V, and Jungkook. All five are expected to complete their enlistment around the same time, paving the way for a potential group reunion in June 2025.

The story unfolds around two prestigious ballet companies that devise a plan to preserve their legacies by trading their top talents. All eight episodes of Étoile can now be streamed on Prime.
