RUN JIN's latest episode, titled, PRINCE OF TENNIS, landed on the internet on Tuesday, September 17. The episode's theme was for the idol to play tennis alongside South Korean actor, Lim Yi-kyung. The winner of the game would get to leave home sooner.
However, the twist was that tennis is a sport that Jin is well-acquainted with and plays as a hobby. Lim Yi-kyung, on the other hand, has only hosted a tennis match and has never played the sport. Regardless, the two have a series of rounds and training throughout the episode to determine who'd win at the end.
One of the segments in the RUN JIN episode included the two celebrities competing against two kids, a girl and a boy, who are tennis players. After their game, the four people sat together to rest and energize with some snacks. During one of Jin's conversations with the kids, the boy called Jin handsome.

The idol was immediately flustered and, jokingly, offered him money in return for the compliment. Fans felt that the interaction was both hilarious and adorable at the same. Here's how they reacted to the same:
"He's so unserious"
"Seokjin is that rich uncle in the family who loves to spoil kids" said a fan on X
"WHY IS HE LIKE THIS" added another fan
"His first win this episode. these kids were testing him" said a netizen on X
More fans talked about how Jin's response to the compliment was hilarious and uncle-coded.
"If Jin gave every person who called him handsome money, he would be in debt" commented a netizen
"I swear to god, SEOKJIN talks like a rich uncle from your father’s side." added an X user
"this is such a dad energy" stated another fan
