RUN JIN: A New Chapter for Kim Seokjin
Following his military discharge date, BTS Jin has been showcasing new sides of his personality through RUN JIN. This variety web series, which premiered on August 13, 2024, features Jin engaging in various games, challenges, and activities with different guests in each episode. Available on both the BANGTANTV YouTube channel and Weverse, RUN JIN has quickly become a fan favorite.
What sets RUN JIN apart is its unscripted nature. Jin doesn’t know who his guests will be beforehand, leading to genuine reactions and interactions. This approach has allowed fans to see a more relaxed and spontaneous side of the idol, away from the polished performances we’re used to seeing on stage.
BTS Jin Natural Charm Breaks the Ice with Young Guests
Fans curious about BTS Jin’s age might be surprised by his youthful energy when interacting with teenage guests. In episode 3, titled “Even Leaving the Military Wasn’t This Hard,” Jin took on the role of a part-time worker at a PC bang café. Here, he played games with teenagers, served food and drinks, and engaged in lighthearted banter, creating a fun and relaxed environment.
Ryu Songhui, head of the Content Planning Team, shared some insights with Weverse Magazine: “We wanted to show how approachable Jin is. Teens today obviously know who BTS is, but they might feel like they’re sort of far away, so we wanted to show Jin mingling with them.”
Jin’s ability to connect with younger guests was particularly evident in the “Blood, Sweat & Peppers” episode. Ryu Songhui noted, “Even though the kids could’ve felt awkward on camera since they’d never been on TV, Jin immediately made them feel comfortable by purposely joking around and breaking the ice. I really appreciate that he made it easy on everyone.”
Behind the Scenes: Production Team Insights on Working with Jin
The RUN JIN production team has been consistently impressed by Jin’s natural talent for variety shows. His playful nature and genuine interest in engaging with guests have been key to the show’s success.
Yoo Jeong-min, a writer for RUN JIN, shared, “Jin even took care of the things we weren’t able to. His ability to read the room and adjust his behavior accordingly is remarkable. It’s made our job so much easier.”
This adaptability was put to the test in various episodes, where Jin had to navigate unexpected situations with grace and humor. Whether he was deciphering clues on fake medical charts or reacting dramatically to every sound in a spooky setting, Jin’s antics kept both the guests and the viewers thoroughly entertained.
Pranking the Prankster: BTS Jin and j-hope’s Zombie Adventure
One of the most talked-about episodes of RUN JIN featured a special guest appearance by fellow BTS member j-hope. In episode 15, “You’ve been Kidnapped,” Jin orchestrated an elaborate plan to surprise j-hope, which involved interrupting a meeting at HYBE headquarters and treating him to a meal reminiscent of military food.
However, the production team had a surprise of their own in store. For episode 16, “It’s Me, Zombie,” they secretly rewrote the script to prank both Jin and j-hope. Ryu Song-hui explained, “Jin clearly loves pranking j-hope, but instead of doing what Jin wanted exactly, we planned it out so it would be a prank on him, too.”
The result was a zombie-themed escape room challenge set in an abandoned hospital. Despite the spooky environment, Jin and j-hope’s chemistry shone through, with their banter and reactions keeping the episode lighthearted and entertaining.
BTS Jin, also known as Kim Seokjin, has been winning hearts with his genuine interactions on the RUN JIN variety show. From charming teenage guests to pranking his fellow BTS members, Jin continues to surprise and delight fans with his versatility and natural entertainment skills. As RUN JIN continues to air, we can’t wait to see what other sides of Jin’s personality will be revealed.
