“He was already thinking the possible media headlines” — Fans hilariously react as BTS’ Jin & Sandeul fall for staff’s fake probe RUN JIN prank

RUN JIN aired episode 10 on BTS' official YouTube channel, BANGTANTV, on Tuesday, October 15, 2024. The latest episode featured the BTS idol along with his longtime friend Sandeul from the K-pop group B1A4. The episode kicked off with the duo boarding a yacht and sailing on the sea, hoping to spend time fishing together.

However, the filming crew pranked them by pretending to be Coast Guard police and pulled up in another yacht beside the idols' yacht. The fake police asked the K-pop idols to show their IDs and questioned them about fishing in the prohibited zone of the sea. As a result, both the BTS singer and Sandeul became nervous and kept quiet, believing that it was the real Coast Guard force.

B1A4's Sandeul kept looking at the fake Coast Guard officials with panic in his eyes while the BTS idol stood there looking at the filming director for help. When the crew revealed that it was a simple prank, the K-pop idols were too stunned to speak. Sandeul even said that he would reconsider ever joining Jin for another fishing trip as he was so scared.

The hilarious moment left viewers in stitches as they flooded X (formerly Twitter) joking about how Jin had already imagined the news headlines as he thought they were real Coast Guard officers. One fan wrote on X:

"He was already thinking the possible media headlines about this"

Viewers highlighted how scared the K-pop idols looked as they already had imagined how the Korean media would react to the situation.

"Dalbang staff was going through a drought for 2 years and finally re-opening their huge idea bank because why poor seokjin and sandeul didn't even get to fish," a fan joked.

"I don't think Jin even knows where his ID is. He probably just asks anyone trying to ID him "Do you know BTS?"," another fan added.

"The panic in their eyes," another fan wrote.

Others mentioned that both the idols seemed scared for their lives.

"The way the staff pranked Jinnie & sandeul ,making them think that they were to be investigated/ detained," a fan commented.

"SANDEUL SAYING THAT HE HAVE TO RECONSIDER NEXT TIME THAT JIN INVITES HIM BECAUSE OF THE PRANK," another fan said.

"The way staff pranked Jin & Sandeul as if they've been caught & have to go thru investigation.. Jin was so shocked he was scared for his life," one other fan added.
