BTS’ Jin Charms Fans by Giving Autograph to ‘Other Seokjin’ Instead of 100,000 KRW in New RUN JIN Episode

On Tuesday, October 1, 2023, the eighth episode of BTS’ Jin’s RUN JIN was released on the official YouTube channel of BANGTAN TV. In this latest episode, Jin welcomed back the previous guest, Jee Seokjin. Together, they participated in a name tag race, during which they had to collect their tags—Kim Seokjin and Jee Seokjin—by chasing after other Seokjins.

While competing in the race, BTS’ Jin offered 100,000 KRW to the other Seokjins to motivate them. One of the participants fell for his ploy. However, after the race concluded, instead of handing over the 100,000 KRW, Jin gave his autograph to the other Seokjin, declaring that he couldn’t give away the money but wanted to provide something special instead.

This charming gesture from Jin aimed at the other Seokjin left a lasting impression on his fans, prompting a wave of praises across social media. One user on X shared their affection by saying:

“He’s such a sweetheart my baby”

Responses from Kim Seokjin’s fans varied online. Many expressed that Jin’s autograph held more value than money, while another user described the moment as ‘cute.’

“Honestly his signature is worth more than money can buy!” – a fan stated.

“This was so cute, I love seeing fanboys meeting BTS” – an X user commented.

“That guy seems like a real army. Even mentioned Epiphany and Awake” – an admirer wrote.

Some fans were puzzled as to why the other Seokjin didn’t receive both the money and the autograph, while others shared their appreciation for the sweet interaction.

“The guy looks so happy! But to be honest, if he sells that, it’ll probably be worth more than 100k won (but he better keep it as an heirloom)” – another fan remarked.

“Actually, he can get 100k won if he sells the signature; anyone would buy it, but of course, the signature is precious for him” – commented another fan.

“Awww!! that interaction is sooo sweet” – an X user stated.

“But why not both? 100k won and an autograph?” – another admirer questioned.
