Jin shared his plan to recruit j-hope as Run Jin continues to have a star-studded guest lineup
Previously, during a Weverse live broadcast on September 21, 2024, Jin shared his plans to feature j-hope as a guest on his variety show Run Jin. This announcement came weeks before j-hope's military discharge on October 17. The BTS member playfully revealed his "master plan," which involved an unconventional way of recruiting his bandmate for the show.
"My plan is to kidnap j-hope the moment he’s discharged. I’ll take him straight to the Run Jin filming set. J-hope, if you’re watching this, just know that I started working as soon as I got out. So, it’s only fair you do the same! Not to worry, I’ll ask for your approval... but let’s be honest, your opinion might not matter much in this case," Seokjin said.
He further added with a laugh:
"Still, are you okay with being kidnapped? I’m sure you won’t answer right now, but I’m taking that as a yes."
The lighthearted statement left fans amused and eagerly anticipating j-hope’s potential appearance on the show.
Run Jin is a variety web series starring Jin, where he takes on various games, challenges, and activities. The series is a spin-off of Run BTS!, the popular variety web series featuring all the BTS members.
