“Such a sweetheart”- Fans react as BTS' Jin gives an autograph to the 'other Seokjin' instead of 100,000 KRW in latest RUN JIN episode

On Tuesday, October 1, the eighth episode of BTS' Jin’s RUN JIN was released on the official YouTube channel of BANGTAN TV. In the latest episode, Jin once again welcomed the same guest from the previous episode, Jee Seokjin. The two celebrities engaged in the name tag race, where they had to collect their tags, Kim Seokjin and Jee Seokjin, by chasing other Seokjins.

While competing in the race, BTS' Jin offered 100,000 KRW to the other Seokjins to win the game. One of them fell into his trap. After finishing the race, BTS' Jin gave his autograph to the other Seokjin rather than the 100,000 KRW. He said that he can't give money. Therefore, he gave his autograph.

This special treatment that Jin gave to the other Seokjin impressed his fans. Therefore, they swamped the internet with praises for the BTS member. Expressing this sentiment, one user on X wrote:

“He’s such a sweetheart my baby”

Many other mixed responses from Kim Seokjin’s fans were recorded on the internet. While many said that Jin’s autograph was worth more than money, another X user referred to this gesture as ‘cute.’

“Honestly his signature is worth more than money can buy!”- a fan stated.

“This was so cute i love seeing fanboys meeting bts”- an X user commented.

“That guy seems like a real army. Even mentioned epiphany and awake”- an admirer wrote.

One fan wondered why the other Seokjin didn't get both the money and the autograph, while another thought that their interaction was sweet.

“The guy looks so happy But if we are being honest if he does sell that it’ll probably more than 100k won (but he better keep it as an heirloom)”- Another fan remarked.

“Actually, he can get 100k won if he sells the signature, anyone would buy it but ofc the signature is precious for him”- commented another fan.

“Awww!! that interaction is sooo sweet”- an X user stated.

“But why no both? 100k won and autograph?))”- another admirer questioned.
