The latest episode of RUN JIN, which aired on September 17, treated fans to another dose of Jin's signature charm and comedic antics.

Jin and Lee Yi Kyung’s Chaotic Reunion: 17 Years of Friendship Unfolds
The episode kicked off with an unexpected and chaotic reunion between Jin and actor Lee Yi Kyung, a star known for his work in variety shows, dramas, and even as a singer. The two revealed that they have been friends for over 17 years, meeting long before either of them entered the entertainment industry. As the staff introduced Lee Yi Kyung, Jin was visibly surprised, asking, "Why are you here?" to which Yi Kyung humorously responded, "Because you told me to come."
It was soon revealed that the two first met in an acting class in their neighborhood, back when Jin was still in school and Lee Yi Kyung had just finished his military service. Yi Kyung, remembering those days, joked about Jin being known as the "handsome guy" in the acting class and teased him for being skinny, a trait Jin humorously acknowledged has stuck with him.

Their banter flowed easily, showing the deep bond between them. Jin teased Yi Kyung for not watching Run BTS, while Yi Kyung tried to explain that despite being a tennis show host, he had never actually played tennis.
Tennis showdown: Jin’s competitors are Jungkook’s young fans
The next segment saw Jin and Lee Yi Kyung playing tennis against two young fans of BTS’ Jungkook. The kids, both young tennis prodigies, had been playing since they were five years old, and their skill level instantly impressed both Jin and Yi Kyung. However, things took a turn when Jin, trying to establish a rapport, asked the kids about their favorite idol.
When the kids proudly announced their favorite was Jungkook, Jin's playful competitive streak kicked in. “Though I like Jungkook too…” Jin muttered before teasingly telling the kids to "get out." The playful banter didn’t stop there. Jin, clearly stung by their unwavering loyalty to Jungkook, tried again, asking if he was perhaps their all-time favorite. The kids, with innocent honesty, once again named Jungkook, leaving Jin mock-defeated.
Yet, Jin showed his characteristic good humor, declaring that he too was a Jungkook fan and lining up the kids to stand “at attention” as if they were in a Jungkook fan club.
