“Can’t believe a 3-yr old will be the reason Run Jin will end” — Fans react to BTS’ Jin wanting to quit the show after first parenting experience

BTS' Jin once again captivated fans in episode 13 of his YouTube reality show, RUN JIN. However, this time, his comedic frustrations sparked a wave of laughter and empathy among fans. The latest episode, released on December 10, 2024, featured the singer navigating the unpredictable world of childcare—a challenge that left him jokingly contemplating quitting the show altogether.

The episode revolved around the idol's first attempt at spending the day with a kid named Tae-ho. Tasked with managing him, he faced everything from messy tantrums to failed snack negotiations. Despite his initial enthusiasm, Jin's reactions—from panicked facial expressions to muttering about never doing this again—became the show's highlight.

In a moment that had fans buzzing online, Jin exclaimed,

"I want to quit 'RUN JIN.'"

His humorous commentary and genuine attempts to go along with Tae-ho's shenanigans to win him over earned him admiration and laughs.

Fans flooded social media with reactions. One X user wrote:

"I can't believe a 3-yr old will be the reason RunJin will end."

Fans praised his authenticity, jokingly warning him to brace for more challenges if he plans to take on future family-themed episodes.

"Trust me when I say I know how he feels while watching this episode. I have a cousin who is much much younger than me. She has all the energy in the world while I get exhausted in an hour or so. Then she and I have to move on to another game," one fan wrote.

"He understood what namjoon said 3 years ago," another fan said.

"The staff really put Jin with a bunch more kids after Taeha left lol after Jin was left drained physically & mentally? Jin you're a great uncle!" A user added.

Others empathized with the BTS idol's exhaustion and wish to quit the show altogether after the staff sent over 10 more kids to test Jin's patience.

"Whoever came up with the genius idea to bring kids to Run Jin deserves so much praise! Watching Jin hilariously beef with little kids is pure comedy gold and absolutely wholesome at the same time." A fan said.

"As a formal preschool (two yo class) assistant teacher i understand completely." Another fan joked.

"Kids being his last straw after everything he has been through with Run Jin." One user wrote.
