NGL, these are two episodes I've watched several times. Not only cuz they give me so much joy and LOLs, but also because Jin is at his "worst" in terms of scheming, competitiveness, and charm. Finally, and most importantly, both episodes feature Jin happily getting manhandled by men. This is legit one of the things that clearly bring him joy. IJS.


Can Jin Keep His Cool?

As far as his public persona, Jin is mostly known for not losing his temper unless it's an extreme situation. He WILL be loud and in-your-face in smaller outbursts, but those moments are presented in a comedic light. With him sorta stepping into a kinda funny brat?

Anyways, this episode dares Jin to keep his heartbeat at a steady rate no matter what. Every challenge gets wilder and wilder. And Mimiminu, a YouTuber, is there to play the devilish MC who try to push Jin's buttons as hard as he can.

I've actual!cried from laughing so hard every time I've sat down to watch this episode.

Will Park Hyungsik Fall For Jin>

NGL, this episode had me SCREECHING from the second I watched the teaser. For starters, Park Hyungsik is part of Taehyung's Inner Circle (generally known as the Wooga Squad.) AND, after watching In the SOOP: Friendication, I realized that Hyungsik tend to be game with any wild scheme. The other thing that had me full 😵 is that there hasn't been a ton of on-camera or off-camera interactions between the Wooga Squad members (which include Park Seojoon, Choi Wooshik, and Peakboy) and the rest of the BTS members. So this was, in many ways, a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to see how they'd interact.

It takes a little bit, but soon enough Hyungsik is embracing Jin's rebellious spirit. If there's one thing I love watching in variety shows is when ppl go WILD. And this episode DELIVERS.

There are other Run Jin episodes that have a sport theme, but these are my fave 3.

Tennis

An episode in which Jin teams up with actor and singer Lee Yikyung (one of his besties) to win several matches against...two professional tennis players who are also children. It goes off the rails (in the best way possible) super fast.

Gynmastics

Jin and TXT's Beomgyu take a quick lesson from an Olympian-level gymnast and then battle it out for the title of BEST (amateur) gymnast. Aside from the wild times (thanks to uber brat!Beomgyu, this is is an episode that shows how freaking strong AND flexible Jin actually IS.

Fencing

NGL, I love this one cuz Jin looks HELLA DREAMY from the second he steps in the frame. Aside from that, he demonstrates RIDIC HIGH reflexes every chance he gets.

Yup, this post title is ACCURATE.

In the second ep of Run Jin, he spends a day at his former middle school and basically hangs out, i.e. battles against a bunch of children. NGL, I've cried from laughing so hard while watching this one.

Then, in the following episode, he does a part-time stint at a PC bang cafe. His OJO at the 2:48 mark (as the PC bang clients literally run into the establishment) is super lulzy. Soon enough, though, Jin's competitive gamer streak bubbles up the surface (due to the mission he has to complete.)

Two weeks and change ago, Jin did a guest appearance at Red Velvet's Wendy radio show Youngstreet. Last year, they'd recorded and, later, performed (only once so far) "Heart on the Window."

FTR, I have to admit that I had never tuned into Wendy's show BUT, I had a fairly solid idea that it was gonna be worth checking out because she's got a vibrant personality. And I was 613% correct, heheh. Theirs is a playful, sibling-like dynamic. I watched this after the English subtitles became available; ended up XD within the first ten minutes or so.
