[GOING SEVENTEEN] EP.163 What Happened On The Set: Don't Lie #2

Why Koreans care

마피아 게임 (mafia game) is the usual Korean variety-show name for social-deduction games, even when custom roles such as the Revolutionary, Goblin and Troublemaker radically alter the rules.

In the Korean comments

One comment singles out Vernon’s final choice: in translation, “I thought he would switch someone to the Goblin at the end, but he turned to the Revolutionary and planned to make everything blow up.” Another notes that Vernon was the only player who formed no alliance, making that late move harder for the alliance-focused players to anticipate.

What the words mean

The title replaces the first sound of “Don’t Lie” with 돈 (don, money). It literally inserts “money” into the phrase, turning the English command into a playful name for a game built around hidden cash and deception.
