[Run Jin] Summary of Impressions: #10-#11 [fromX]

Every Tuesday is Jin Day!

I look forward to the BTS eldest member Jin's variety content "Run JIN" every week!
Before I knew it, it had gone on a break. I felt like something was missing on Tuesdays, but there was such a deluge of "HAPPY"-related content that I couldn't keep up. I have to summarize everything before he comes back, and I wonder if Hobi will be with him then too!! (/ω＼)

EP.10 | Freeze! Polliceping

2024/10/15

This time it's a fishing episode with Sandeul!

...Wait, who was that again? I searched for him and
"He grabbed Jin's stomach out of nowhere during their second meeting"
was the shocking episode that popped up, and I recoiled.

"I just felt like touching it,"
the eldest member who can just grab someone else's stomach like that is an incredible person... ( ﾟДﾟ)

Without knowing the destination or the plan, the two just get on a boat. As usual, it's a style where they can go home once they complete the mission.
Even we viewers are so used to this "leave work" rule that the comments expressing surprise like "Wait, they really left the guest behind?" feel fresh lol

...Leaving work... yeah, he always does that, doesn't he...? (Recalling Run BTS)

"Run Jin" features subtle product placement every time, which shows just how popular he is. Isn't the Korean commercial industry currently in a tug-of-war over Jin?
Just as I was thinking that, the sponsor this time was Indonesia.
Even if the price is set lower for a solo artist than for BTS, I still think it's expensive, so that's amazing!

By the way, I read in the reference materials for a BTS thesis the other day that Indonesia is a country with so many fans that it once ranked first in the world for time spent on K-POP.
Bangtan is steadily increasing my knowledge. Even if it might be in a slightly off-kilter direction.

Just when it was finally time to fish, a patrol boat suddenly approached and started questioning them.
They were transferred to another boat for identity verification, and I thought it was a successful prank... but then a Pacific-class patrol ship of the Korea Coast Guard appeared. Whaaaat, you've got to be kidding me!?

The Japanese subtitles used
"If you ask me, I'll answer you with the kindness of the world"
and I was so surprised by the sudden reference to the anime version of Pokémon that I recoiled twice...

With the smooth guidance of the Korea Coast Guard's planning and operations division, Jin's participation in the training is decided easily.
The eldest member being swept away by the rough waves, his quick readiness is lovely.

Still, they collaborate with some amazing places. If you think about it normally, you'd assume the production team planned it and went to ask them, but since the other party is the country that owns BTS, I can't help but suspect that it might have been the police who reached out to them lol

Helicopter deck!
Live landing!! ( ﾟДﾟ)
(Starting to forget the purpose)

Actually rescuing a drowning person by helicopter and landing on the deck. Jin-kun rushes over to drop off the rescuee, undeterred by the blast.

Seokjin running while carrying various things like Indonesian gummies and the Coast Guard—I was cheering him on, saying 'Fighting!', but then he suddenly threw in, 'Are you okay? Do you know BTS?' while performing life-saving measures. The drowning person responding calmly is hilarious lol

Seokjin is learning how to save lives, but here, one of the three great romances of shoujo manga occurs: the artificial respiration event. By the way, feel free to choose your own favorites for the other two!
Wait, after the stone statue and the tuna, now a silicone doll is touching the eldest brother's lips……!! ( ﾟДﾟ)

[Exclusive] The impact of ARMYs worldwide standing up caused the tectonic plates to shift, and the altitude of Hallasan Mountain rose a little (False)

And he's even stroking its head!
Jin-kun isn't just proposing to fish; he's even trying to seduce inanimate objects. What a terrifying boy……!! ( ﾟДﾟ)( ﾟДﾟ)( ﾟДﾟ)

The eldest brother, who caused about a million ARMYs to have trouble breathing as the price for successfully completing his first life-saving mission. Moving on to the next stage immediately.
What spreads out before him is a vast sandy beach and the sea. And heavy machinery (excavator).

I've replayed the '……Wae?' about 100 times. There is a mysterious addictiveness to Jin-kun being unable to process reality.

The Coast Guard x Run Jin episode, next is the beach pentathlon with a 1 million won dinner bill on the line.
Planning division, patrol ship crew, aviation team, intelligence and foreign affairs division, public relations... it feels like they brought in the cream of the crop lol

To the person who answered 'Taehyung' to the classic 'Who do you like?' question, may I interview you in more detail?

The beach pentathlon is like this, but the content was quite different from what I expected lol
The breath-holding part isn't just a lung capacity contest; it's a round where you have to read and answer letters from a plate placed underwater, I see.

1. Underwater breath-holding

2. Quick change into fire-retardant suit

3. Lifebuoy throwing

4. Rope knot tying

5. Flag Capture Game

During the five-event beach competition, the eldest brother gets hurt when someone argues back. It's heartwarming to see how he's been cherished and pampered lol

However, Seokjin doesn't get discouraged and immediately resorts to foul play. If I were to analyze him with keywords after his military discharge, what would come up? Probably "Gucci," "Foul play," and "Chamchi."

The second round is an upgraded version of the "Super Tuna" game. The visuals are absolutely hilarious lol. I definitely want all seven of them to do this when they are back together. Just imagining Namjoon doing this makes my blood circulation feel better...!

The third round is a teamwork test. They were supposed to collect seawater in bottles using a three-legged race... but it turned into another foul-play competition. Is the honor and prestige of the Marine Police okay? lol

In the end, the Kim Seokjin team that cheated lost, but ARMY, don't you think Jin's face here, looking slightly ennui from exhaustion, is great? (Irrelevant)

The Jin team lost consecutively in the pitfall game and the tug-of-war. As the eldest brother is dragged and rolls around by the rope, the mysterious word "Disco Pang Pang" is overlaid.

Following "Orubaksa Karobonneun," I've gained more mysterious Korean knowledge. It's a moment where I realize I'm watching a local Korean variety show. Before I knew it, I had come a long way.

Only the legendary Jin-hyung could retort to the guardians of the sea, who were dutifully fulfilling their roles until the end by saying, "Don't forget your life jackets!" and "We, the Marine Police, are always with you!" by saying, "I told you to give your impressions!" lol

Wait a minute! Is the next one horror!? It's not a tragedy following the Hobi kidnapping incident, is it!?

Sandeul-ssi, who uploaded the behind-the-scenes immediately after Run Jin aired, is such a capable person. Thank you!! I want to increase the BTS content in the world even a little bit and consume it. I live my life with that feeling again today.

EP.11 | I Met a Ghost for Real

2024/10/22

This time it's a ghost theme. Looking back at past Run BTS episodes, ghost (including zombie) x BTS is always a hit!
I'm looking forward to it ( *´艸｀)

This time it's an escape game. The condition is to "find 5 straw dolls"!

Jin in a hanbok since Chuseok...!
Even though I was screaming over blonde Jin last night, getting this supply in 24 hours is a total blind spot. I'm being rolled around in the palm of Seokjin's hand so much that my vestibular system has stopped breathing lol

Jin's retorts are sharper than usual today, and you can feel his stance of trying to stay strong lol

Speaking of boxed tissues, looking at past videos, BTS is always wiping their faces and noses with toilet paper, so I'm curious if they're using proper facial tissues now!
Facial tissues are a bit sweet if you lick them, so they could be a snack too. They aren't.

Threatened that if he broke the rules, his hand would be bitten off,
Ghost: "What if it tastes bad?"
JN: "I'm sure it'll be delicious💦"
Seokjin showing absolute confidence in the quality of the ingredients, I love him.

This time, Jin being scared is too cute, I can't stop taking screenshots. I bet many ARMYs have created a "Scared Hamster" folder. No, maybe not.

Speaking of blowing tissues, that reminds me!
I'll rewatch Run BTS EP110 later ( ._.)φmemo

When you watch new content, you end up enjoying the past content even more; the evil BTS loop is scary.

Being called a Confucian Boy like a Keio Boy lol
A well-behaved eldest brother who is still called a boy even after turning 30, saranghae💜

Jin had his portrait rejected even though he went through the trouble of drawing it. He just added stars around it to improve the quality💜
Wait, he didn't redraw it lol

Ultimately solved by his face. This grim reaper gets it. Which generation?
("Which generation?" is Jin's classic comeback when someone says "I'm an ARMY." I wonder what generation I am...)

When I thought Jin's glasses smile reminded me of something, it was this V.
BTS's visual line Bros. are the best...!!

The high-level technique of treating him like a baby without using a baby voice shows the expertise of the subtitle staff and their mom-perspective.
Don't make me laugh in the middle of the night lol

Next is the Twister game... wait, that's the one where Namjoon got dragged into a penalty game and got a peck from Jin!
Is it a trap that the ghosts keep digging up memories with BTS?
Or does it mean BTS has already played every game in existence! ( ﾟДﾟ)

Just when we got this far, he was told 'the real thing starts now,' and Jin held back the bodyguard who was trying to leave.
I feel like there's a fork in the road between wanting to be the bodyguard and cling to him, or at least wanting to scream along with him.

Aaaah, so scary!!!!
Wait, this episode should be watched while screaming with ARMY friends!

'A single stream of holy water springing up among the evil things'

This is a poem written for an idol who is sweating cold from fear of ghosts. Please take note.
I mean, that's not the point, but holy water... hehe...

If Jungkook transcends time and space, Jin freely moves between being a Maitreya Buddha and a trembling hamster.
The gap is a different kind of contrast from Jungkook's... No, it's not about which is higher or lower, but... the distance? The range?

Ah, I think they finally added a baby-like crying sound effect, but I'm too scared to rewatch it!
Help me, Muscle Bunny!!

My feelings are becoming one with Jin.
I feel like the whole world is going, 'Korean horror is amazing...!! ( ﾟДﾟ)' right now. It's super scary. There are ghosts, demons, living Buddhas, grim reapers, mountain hags, and a bunch of other stuff.

I'm sorry, I'm the type of scaredy-cat who has too much imagination and can't handle the suspense of 'it's coming, it's coming.'
Why didn't they do this content in the summer? It's way too scary for Halloween. Aaaah!

Even after having his soul sucked out and being covered in cold sweat,
'If you all wish for it, Seokjin will keep running! I love you, ARMY!'
I want to give a round of applause to our eldest brother for delivering that closing greeting without a hitch...!
No, but there's definitely room for discussion on who actually wished for this! (ノдヽ)

Ah, my heart was pounding... Let me watch something peaceful before I go to sleep... 👈 Go to sleep

With that, I've finished summarizing 'Run Jin,' and I look forward to its return. Thank you for joining me!
