On March 4, 2025, BTS' Jin used underhanded tactics to win the Musical Chair game in Run Jin episode 24, leaving the fandom to laugh. The newest segment was uploaded on the BANGTAN TV YouTube channel. The guests who appeared on the show were Nam Chang-hee, Shin Seung-ho, and Son Dong-pyo.
In the video that circulated on social media, the guest members and Jin were playing Musical Chair. Jin Crew won the first round of the game because he quickly pulled the chair to his side instead of sitting directly. Every time the song stopped, the male artist would snatch the chair and keep it aside. In one instance, due to his underhanded practices, Seung-ho lost his chance to sit on the chair.
Subsequently, BTS' Jin's team won, leaving the fandom simultaneously shocked and elated. Multiple scenes from the game where the idol used clever tactics to win the play went viral among the fandom. They reacted hilariously to the scene.
"Musical chair: Jin style he is so evil," an X user tweeted.

"This was soo funny to me cuz usually people gotta run to the chair but they pulled the chair out? I need to remember this trick," a fan reacted.
"Every move Seokjin made in RUN JIN SQUID GAME was perfect. He’s always the highlight of every competition," a fan shared.

Many internet users claimed that Jin's team won the game because of his fast hands.
