On August 13, BTS' Jin released the first episode of his latest reality show, RUN JIN. Following the episode, a preview for episode 2 was unveiled, hinting at a special guest appearance. This teaser has sparked curiosity among fans, who are eagerly speculating who the mystery guest could be.
Some fans have speculated that the special guest could be South Korean actor Lee Yi Kyung, known for his endearing role as the “Gwenchana Guy" in the K-drama Welcome to Waikiki. Given that Lee Yi Kyung is older than the BTS idol and shares a close friendship with Jin, fans are wondering if he might appear as guest, adding to the excitement and anticipation.
Others have suggested it might be Byeon Woo Seok, the lead star of Lovely Runner. In the preview video, Jin is seen entering his alma mater, Posung High Boys School, while holding a yellow umbrella. This detail has intrigued fans, as it echoes a popular scene from the K-drama Lovely Runner. In the series, the yellow umbrella is a symbolic item often carried by Kim Hye Yoon's character, Im Sol. This connection has led fans to speculate that Byeon Woo Seok could be the guest star on the show.
