Jin, the first member of BTS to complete his military service, recently paid a visit to his alma mater, leaving students on campus thrilled by his appearance.
The visit was highlighted in the second episode of Jin’s reality show, Run Jin, which premiered on August 20. In this episode, the 31-year-old K-pop star engaged in various entertaining and challenging activities with the students, showcasing his charisma and humor.
During the episode, Jin’s competitive spirit was on full display as he participated in endurance challenges like planking and push-ups. Always playful, he humorously tried to bribe his younger competitors with pizza to get them to drop out of the contests. This lighthearted approach endeared him even more to the students.
One of the episode’s highlights was a song-guessing game where Jin found himself outpaced by the ARMY, BTS’s dedicated fanbase, who were quicker to recognize BTS songs than he was. With a smile, Jin joked, “BTS is really popular,” eliciting laughter from everyone present.
Prior to the episode’s release, a teaser clip generated excitement on social media, with fans noting Jin’s striking resemblance to Ryu Sun Jae, a character from the series Lovely Runner played by Byeon Woo Seok. This similarity led to speculation about a possible cameo by Seok in the episode, though this ultimately did not happen.
For those eager to watch Jin’s return to his old school and enjoy his interactions with the students, the full second episode of Run Jin is now available for viewing.
