BTS' JIN takes on mountain climbing challenge in the first episode of reality variety show "Run JIN"! "I'll do anything for ARMY"

■In the next episode of “Run JIN,” JIN visits his alma mater and competes in an arm-wrestling contest with his juniors!

BTS’s JIN released the first episode of the reality variety show “Run JIN” on the BTS official YouTube channel at 9 p.m. on August 13th.

“Run JIN” is a content that started from JIN’s sincerity, “I can do anything for ARMY.” For the first episode of “Run JIN,” JIN chose to climb Mt. Halla, “taking on the hardships himself,” bringing emotion and laughter.

JIN is cheerful even during the arduous journey to the top of Hallasan Mountain. At the beginning of the climb, JIN showed enthusiasm, saying that he would make it to the top since he had already started, but the mountain path was more difficult than he had expected. He laughed and said with a hint of self-deprecation, “I guess I got too excited and thought I could do anything.”

There was also a heartwarming scene where the tired hikers generously offered him encouragement and snacks. His phone call with Baek Jong-won, who is a close friend of his, brought some unexpected laughter. In response to JIN’s question about what Jeju Island is most famous for, Baek Jong-won shouted “tangerines” and replied, “Because I’m good at eating,” creating a fun atmosphere.

After 4 hours and 20 minutes, JIN arrived at Baengnok Dam and generously expressed his feelings for ARMY. He said that climbing Mt. Halla was “more of an ambition than fun,” and confessed that his gratitude to his fans was what enabled him to silently endure the difficult mountain path. Even though he was tired, JIN showed his gentle side by searching for a rest area together with the staff and showing concern for those who were delayed, proving his reliability as the eldest brother of BTS.

As of 9 a.m. on the 14th, the first episode of “Run Jin” has been viewed over 1.06 million times, drawing enthusiastic responses. In addition, the preview at the end of the first episode showed him visiting his alma mater and competing in an arm-wrestling contest with his juniors, as well as taking a shower in a suit, building expectations for the next episode.
