Run Jin's second episode kicked off with Jin receiving a warm and enthusiastic welcome from the students. They were thrilled to see him in their midst, and as soon as he entered the school grounds, a crowd excitedly followed him around. Some fans humorously compared the scene to the movie Train to Busan, where characters are chased by zombies.
Despite the excitement, Seokjin managed to keep the atmosphere light and fun, engaging with the students as though he was just another one of them. The day was filled with various competitive games, including arm wrestling, a push-up challenge, chicken fight on a mat, basketball, and others. However, it was the plank challenge that stole the show. Jin confidently took on 26 students in this task, teasing them along the way.
At one point, he humorously offered to buy pizzas for the entire group if they let him win. But as the challenge progressed, it became clear that Seokjin was outmatched, and he eventually conceded defeat.
True to his word, Jin made good on his playful promise. He treated each student to 30,000 won worth of delivery coupons for pizza. When the announcer revealed that each student would receive a 30,000 won delivery coupon, the students were ecstatic. Jin, with his trademark humor, responded by saying:
“It’s all from my wallet. You should thank me.”
The students were quick to praise him, acknowledging his “world-class” status as a BTS member, all while enjoying the light-hearted moment.
Seokjin's return to the small screen in such a lighthearted and engaging manner was a treat for fans, who eagerly await more episodes of Run Jin to see what other surprises he has in store.
