On Tuesday, September 4, the latest episode of RUN JIN landed on the internet. For this episode, Jin invited three guests to his variety show, namely the South Korean influencer, Kwak Tube, the ex-UFC fighter Kim Dong-hyun, and TXT's Yeonjun. While fans were excited about all the guests, they were most thrilled to see interactions between Yeonjun and Jin.
Yeonjun and Jin are not only K-pop idols but also labelmates. They are housed under the same subsidiary of HYBE Labels, BigHit Entertainment. TXT also stands as direct juniors of BTS as they were the first to debut under BigHit Entertainment after BTS. While several interactions between the two groups have landed on the internet, this is the first time the two have appeared on a variety show together.
Therefore, fans were naturally intrigued to see the kind of relationship the labelmates would share at RUN JIN. Akin to many's predictions, the two were not only friendly and comfortable with each other but also shared a bickering and sibling-like relationship that fans couldn't help but swoon over. One moment from the show's episode also cemented the same.
As the episode began, each of the guests entered the room and introduced themselves and when it was Yeonjun's turn, the idol stood in front of the entrance and posed. Jin soon responded to him by mockingly scolding him. He jokingly asked him how he could pose when he's a guest at his show. One fan on X wrote,
"They're just like siblings."
Fans loved this moment as it showcased that the two were probably comfortable with each other to make jokes and tease one another. Here are a few reactions to the interaction.
"TXT are literally babies of BTS" said a fan on X
"btxt are brothers & idrgaf if ppl try to jump me for saying that like they have in the past IJBOL this is such sibling behaviour" added another fan
