"Emotional" BTS's Jin Moves ARMYs To Tears After Conquering Mountain Post-Discharge

Episode 1 of BTS Jin‘s new online reality show, Run Jin, has premiered! It’s an alternative to the BTS members’ variety show Run BTS! while everyone else is still enlisted for their mandatory military service.

In the first episode, Jin climbed Mt. Hallasan five days after his discharge. His mission was to receive five congratulations for his discharge, not just to climb the mountain.

Seokjin mission was 5 people congratulate him for his discharge so he will get lunch,during the walk he met a soldier who recognized him right away:

👤actually when you were getting discharged, my service number is 2. So I was waiting for your discharge

With the encouragement of others and motivation from ARMYs, Jin successfully climbed the mountain after climbing the trail for over four hours.

“the reason he could persevere and push through this 9.6km-long rigorous endless trail was because seokjin was very committed to show armys how grateful he was in any way possible” #RunJin #RunJin_EP1 pic.twitter.com/ky8YWaY3bY

Jin couldn’t help but get emotional after accomplishing this feat. He appeared to have gotten teary-eyed and even wiped his face. It marked the end of his discharge, and he could feel proud after hitting these milestones.

Seokjin being emotional after reaching the top is making me emotional too. it is cool to finish things that you plan and he did it.

I think he ended his military enlistment era with Mt Hallasan hiking. he completed both difficult tasks with flying colorspic.twitter.com/AzjcbjRa2U
