Venturing into entrepreneurship, Jin launched IGIN, his alcohol brand, which includes a line of flavored beverages. In broadcasting, Seokjin returned to screens with his self-titled variety program Run Jin, airing weekly on BTS’s official BANGTANTV channel.
He also starred in Netflix’s original series Kian's Bizarre B&B, released on April 8, 2025. The show quickly climbed to the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s top charts. The next episodes (4 to 6) are scheduled to be released on April 15 at 4 pm.
Jin’s public appearances also gained major attention. A few days post-discharge, the Running Wild singer reunited with fans at BTS FESTA 2024 in Seoul, sharing hugs with over 1,000 attendees.
