DENPASAR - The identity of foreign national lovers who went viral for painting their faces to trick a security guard at a Bali supermarket has been identified.

Both are Taiwanese citizen named Lin Chi Chen alias Joshua (32) and a Russian citizen named Leia Se (25).

"Today we will deliver a letter of recommendation to immigration including the official report on the examination", said Head of Bali Civil Service Police (Satpol PP) Dewa Darmadi, when contacted on Monday, April 26.

According to him, the two foreigners had violated health protocols (prokes) and provided bad examples through video content by painting faces like masks.

"They violated the health protocols and they were immediately deported because they had violated the health program in Bali. And the effect was very negative, had an impact on other communities, and was harassing and we immediately asked for deportation", said Darmadi.

From the foreigners' admission, both of them deliberately created video content. In addition, both of them also get royalties from the viral content.

"They created content in order to get something from there. Like royalties, they admitted it on purpose. This means that physically they are still free and administratively have their passports and all kinds of things held by immigration. So they can't go anywhere. And the immigration party will keep on monitoring where their position is", said Darmadi.

The behavior of foreigners in Bali has previously been in the spotlight until it went viral on social media. This foreigner painted a picture of a mask on their face and tricked a security guard at a supermarket in Bali.

The video, uploaded by an Instagram account @denpasar.viral. In the video, you can see two male and female Caucasians.

At first, these two foreigners entered the supermarket but were prohibited because they did not wear masks.

Because the female foreigner did not wear a mask, finally both of them returned to the car. In the car, a woman's face is painted to resemble a mask. Both of them returned to the supermarket and managed to escape from the security guard.
