“Run BTS editors are so back”- Fans go gaga over chaotic captions in the latest ‘Run Jin’ episode

The first episode of Run Jin premiered on August 13, 2024, and fans are hooked. One aspect that immediately caught their attention was the hilarious captions that the editors have been using to accompany Jin’s dialogues.

Run Jin is a spin-off of the original BTS variety show Run BTS, now centering on the group's oldest member, who recently returned from his military service. Known for his sharp wit and humor, the star's personality shines through, and the editors’ creative input only amplifies the comedy.

One standout moment from the episode involved a mix-up between famous boxers Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, which the editors used as a perfect opportunity to tease the star, much to fans' delight. This was just one of several instances where the editors’ captions added an extra layer of humor to the show. Fans took to social media to comment on this.

"PLS THEY ARE SO UNSERIOUS," a fan exclaimed.

"Editor being brutally honest," a fan stated.

"The only thing my heart wants to say to the BTS editor is: Wae Wae AH Wae wAe waE," a fan hilariously said.

"The editor knows how to poke Seokjinnies," another fan said.

Some other fans even thought that it was the same editor who liked to roast BTS.

"So the same editor/writer is still there?!" a fan interrogated.

"He’s become more savage with time," a fan stated.

"STOP SLAPPING US WITH REALITY," a fan exclaimed.

"Just that one editor that keeps bringing us back to reality," another fan stated.

The indirect banter between the BTS member and the editors shines through in Run Jin

In this episode, Jin embarked on a hike to Hallasan, South Korea’s highest mountain located on the renowned Jeju Island. During his adventure, he spent time meeting locals and exploring their culture, even cheekily asking them to congratulate him on his recent military discharge.

Armed with a GoPro camera, he captured candid moments throughout his hike, often monologuing to himself in his usual funny manner. However, it was the editors who truly stole the show. Fans quickly noticed that the style of the captions resembled those from Run BTS, leading many to speculate that the same editors might be behind Run Jin, bringing their signature wit to the new series.

At one point during the hike, the K-pop idol said:

“What Muhammad Ali once said was right. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

The editors didn’t miss a beat, adding a caption that corrected him:

“This is a quote by Mike Tyson, not Muhammad Ali.”

This playful jab at the star had fans in stitches.

Another caption that caught fans' attention was “Seokjin of the day,” which left many puzzled and curious about its meaning, suspecting it might be an inside joke.

Even in the preview for the next episode, the editors didn’t hold back, continuing to insert their clever puns. The next episode features the BTS hyung visiting POSUNG High School dressed in a student uniform, with the caption “Lovely Runner Seokjin,” a nod to the recent show Lovely Runner.

As he walked in his school uniform, another caption popped up:

“Visual that reminds you of your first love that you never had.”

This classic Run BTS-style commentary was a playful reminder for fans, often bringing them back to reality from their dreamy admiration of the singer. Fans humorously dubbed it a “rude awakening,” but they embraced the humor and fun that the editors brought to the show.

This lighthearted banter between the BTS star and the editors adds a unique charm to this new show. As the series continues, fans are eagerly anticipating more moments of this indirect but affectionate teasing. The show airs every Tuesday, with the next episode scheduled for August 20.
