Many commented on how refreshing it was to see Jin in his element again and how natural the younger idols were in his presence.

“TXT causally flexing their privileges,” a fan said.

“Yeonjun being yeonjun trying to kiss every other guy,” a fan stated hilariously.

“A very yeonjun-esque move not even surprised,” a fan creatively described.

Fans took their opportunity to troll Yeonjun, reminding everyone that he displayed his classic behavior.

“Yeonjun grabbing the opportunity to have seokjin kiss him,” a fan mentioned.

Jin invites his HYBE juniors to his variety show

In the latest two-part episode of Run BTS spinoff series, Run Jin, BTS’ Jin transformed into an 18-year-old high school student, stepping into the role of “game master” for a set of hilarious and high-energy challenges. The twist was that while Jin aimed to prove his gaming supremacy, the other players, his juniors from HYBE, were out to disprove his title and dethrone him in a variety of quirky competitions.

Joining him for the fun were TXT’s Yeonjun and Taehyun, ENHYPEN’s Jungwon and Jay, and singer Dongpyo, bringing the player count to six. The games were spread across four themed “periods,” resembling a high school class schedule.

The episode featured games like "Snap Koongya," where players had 30 seconds to take rapid photos and later identify recognizable faces in the images. "Buddy Limbo" is one of the popular games from Run BTS, and this classic game paired players together, requiring them to limbo under a rod while linked. "Harvest the White Radish" was a fun segment where the "tagged" player had to pull others off a mat, disrupting their positions and stealing points.

By the end of the episode, all players earned points, except for Yeonjun and Taehyun, which set the stage for a humorous closing exchange.

The conversation went like:

Taehyun: "I had a lot of fun today as well but you don’t have to invite me back. i’ll be hanging out at hyung’s place so it’s okay." Yeonjun: "We’ll be doing this at his place." Jay: "I’ll be the cameraman." Yeonjun: "From the front door to his room." KSJ: "No no no." Yeonjun: "Either that or a kiss from me..choose one."

Their banter had everyone in fits of laughter, capturing the natural camaraderie between the BTS member and his juniors.

Adding to the anticipation, the preview for the next episode ended on a mysterious note, showing Jin being fake-kidnapped and entering an action-style sequence where he fights unknown people. The deliberately cryptic teaser has left fans buzzing with excitement, curious to see what surprises lie ahead and which other artists might make an appearance.
