The latest episode of RUN JIN, released on October 22, takes viewers on a heart-thumping journey, blending historical reenactment, spooky challenges, and an announcement.

Here’s a breakdown of the episode’s highlights and why fans are buzzing about it. 

Revisiting the Joseon era: A blast from the past

In Episode 11, Jin revisits the Joseon era, donning traditional Korean Hanbok that captures the essence of the past. The elaborate hanbok and accessories add feel to the setting, and Jin's expressive reactions breathe life into the historical backdrop.


Jin’s natural charisma shines through as he interacts with the set, which is painstakingly crafted to replicate a 17th-century Korean village. The realistic details; from the wooden structures and paper-covered windows to the sprawling courtyards—add depth to the experience.  

Haunted setup: Hunting for voodoo dolls in the dark

The atmosphere takes a dark turn when Jin is tasked with finding voodoo dolls hidden in the eerie surroundings. The haunted theme is executed with just the right amount of spookiness to keep viewers on edge. Flickering candlelights, unsettling sound effects, and the creaky wooden floors of the set all add to the suspense, making it one of the most thrilling segments in the show's recent history.

The search for voodoo dolls is not merely a superficial activity; it ties into the folklore and superstitions of the Joseon period, where such objects were believed to have real power. Jin’s reactions range from playful disbelief, playing games with those acting as ghosts, to moments of genuine unease, capturing the balance between humor and horror that the show is known for.
