On August 13, 2024, BTS member Kim Seok-jin released the first episode of his latest reality show, RUN JIN. The preview clip for episode two was also released at the end of episode one, hinting at a special guest appearance. This intrigued the fandom as they flooded social media with their conjectures about who the guest could be.

Some fans thought that the guest could be the South Korean actor Lee Yi-kyung, while a few speculated that it could be the Lovely Runner lead star, Byeon Woo-seok. One fan wrote on X,

"OHH?? MR GWENCHANA?!"

For the unversed, Marry My Husband actor Lee Yi-kyung is endearingly known as the "Gwenchana Guy" due to his hilarious scene from the K-drama Welcome to Waikiki.

The BTS ARMY wondered if it could be Lee Yi-kyung since he is older than the BTS idol and could share a close friendship with Jin.

"Ok, if it’s Lee Yi Kyung, that guy is funny!" one fan said.
"It's the way we can never guess. And if it turns out to be someone new who we never thought was connected to him?!" another fan commented.
"Streets are saying that the guest might be lee yi kyung," another fan said.

Others wondered if it would be the idol's real brother or actor Byeon Woo-seok.

"Ppl be like mentioning names but who do you think seokjin can speak like this with?" one fan wrote.
"Wait that body frame actually kinda fits his brother.... yall might actually be on to something," another fan added.
"Byeon wooseok is also 1 year older than jin and he called the guest "Hyungnim"," another fan guessed.
