Jin of BTS thrilled fans with his god-like visuals and outstanding athleticism in a new episode of his personal content series.
Released on May 13 KST on BTS’s official YouTube and Weverse channels, [Run Jin] EP.34 | Run Taekwondo! featured Jin in a full taekwondo uniform, captivating viewers with his striking appearance.
Jin shared, “Almost every Korean boy learns taekwondo,” and revealed that he earned a black belt as a child. He added with a smile, “The staff gave me a white belt, but there’s no way I could wear that—so I got my black belt back.”
The episode also featured WINNER’s Kang Seung Yoon, who reunited with Jin after they previously met as trainees during their military service in the 5th Infantry Division. Jin’s excitement at seeing Kang was evident as they engaged in lessons and sparred under Lee Ok Hyun, a 6th-dan master from K-Tigers.
Both Jin and Kang were amazed by the K-Tigers’ artistic taekwondo performance to BTS’s Boy In Luv. They trained with Masters Lee Ok Hyun and Kim Tae Sung, focusing on techniques and board-breaking kicks.
Starting with stretches, they shared light banter reminiscent of their drill sergeant-recruit days but quickly displayed serious athletic ability.
A preview for next week’s episode hinted at a momentous meeting between Jin and Tom Cruise, stirring excitement among fans for the encounter between these global superstars.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting series from the K-pop star.
