During the episode, Jin interacted with fans as he climbed to the top of the mountain. His crew played several games with him, and Jin took breaks along the way to rest, enjoy beverages, and chat with his fans. The trek to the summit and coming back took over seven hours.
Following his discharge from the military on June 13, 2024, Jin made his first public appearance at Jamsil Arena, celebrating BTS's 11th anniversary as part of FESTA 2024 with his fans. He is also set to star in Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island, a variety program featuring a vacation on an uninhabited island where Ahn Jung Hwan has renovated a deserted house.
