BTS’s Jin Stuns as Action Star in ‘Run Seokjin’ Episode Featuring Jeong Du-hong

Fans of BTS were in for a treat as Jin, a member of the world-famous K-pop group, shocked viewers with his impressive transformation into an action star. On June 6 at 9 PM KST, episode 33 of BTS’s variety show Run Seokjin premiered on the group’s official YouTube channel, showcasing Jin’s bold venture into the world of action acting alongside legendary stunt director Jeong Du-hong.

The episode opened with Jin, dressed in a sleek black suit, being ambushed and dragged away in a suspenseful, cinematic scene. His destination? An elite action school. Initially surprised and slightly fearful by the dynamic stunt demonstrations performed by professionals, Jin’s nervous demeanor provided a comedic contrast to the tense setup.

However, that fear didn’t last long. Jin quickly adapted to the physical demands, impressing the crew with his fast learning curve and agile movements. He flawlessly executed complex maneuvers, even performing a high-difficulty back rotation while suspended by wires — a move that left Jeong Du-hong in genuine awe.

Jin also took on a one-take action scene, engaging in rigorous rehearsals with professional stunt actors. When the cameras rolled, he delivered a compelling performance, facing off against multiple opponents with convincing physicality and expressive acting. The sequence concluded to thunderous applause, affirming Jin’s serious potential in action cinema.

“I expected him to be good at physical movement because of his dance background,” said Jeong Du-hong, “but I didn’t know he’d be this amazing. He’s incredible.”

The next episode of Run Seokjin teases another exciting challenge, where Jin partners with Kang Seung-yoon of WINNER to try their hands at Taekwondo. Fans can catch new episodes every Tuesday at 9 PM KST on BTS’s YouTube channel, with episodes available one hour later on global fan platform Weverse.
