For the unversed, on July 30, the upcoming show's first teaser was released where the BTS idol made plans to go on a trek to the Hallasan Mountain in Jeju Island, South Korea.

Meanwhile, in the second teaser, the idol categorized himself as a light-packer and revealed that he only packs a lip balm, foam cleanser, and an electric razor in a BT21 pouch along with the 'Good Day' BTS merch pajamas. He added that even when he travels for concerts, he packs the same items along with two t-shirts and ten undergarments.
Fans were happy to see the new teaser and get to know more stuff about the BTS idol. One fan wrote on X,
“Seokjin doing the most Seokjin things makes me so happy"
The BTS ARMY expressed their joy by flooding X with their tweets and hailed him as an "inspiration" for reusing the same items and clothes for years.
"Seokjinnie packing the things he can’t live without," one fan wrote.
"Seokjin using his Rj pouch since 2018 says so much about this guy. He keeps his things tidy and they last for a long time. Reusing your old stuff is so good for environment- environment superhero. He is so consistent with what he likes! While he is always coming up with out of the box ideas, his corehthings are always the same. It is easy to love him for a long time especially if you are also that kind of a person. He is very inspirational without saying anything," another fan wrote.
"Seokjin carrying his favorite good day pajamas everywhere - from In the Soop to LA to Argentina to Jeju Island," another fan added.
Others joked about the Nivea lip balm which the Grammy-nominated South Korean musician packed, stating that fans might not get the same result since Jin is naturally good-looking.
"Just so you all know, the magic isn't in the lip balm...I'm just giving you a heads up so you don't get discouraged if you all don't see the same results," one other fan joked.
"So basically he can't live without his good day pyjama and lip balm," one fan said.
"First Run Jin episode and you'd think they'd just do it inside the Hybe building or somewhere in Seoul. NAHHH THEYRE BRINGING SEOKJIN TO JEJU ISLAND LMAO," another fan commented.
