ARMYs Speculate “Lovely Runner” Star Byeon Woo Seok Will Guest On BTS Jin’s New Show

The original Sun Jae with the real one?!

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.

While Jin climbed Mt. Hallasan in the first episode, the preview for the next episode showed Jin going to school. It appeared to be the content that Jin was spotted filming at his Alma Mater, Posung High School, as he was dressed in a school uniform and holding a yellow umbrella, which reminded ARMYs of someone else…

Jin previously went viral for his resemblance that day to Ryu Sun Jae (also romanized Ryu Seon Jae), the male lead of the hit K-Drama Lovely Runner (also known as Run Away With Sun-Jae On Piggyback), portrayed by actor Byeon Woo Seok.

ARMYs are now speculating that this was intentional and a hint to a special guest for the show, as the caption even called Jin “Lovely Runner Seokjin.” The preview for the next episode teased a “legendary guest,” but the individual was blurred. ARMYs are hoping it’s Byeon Woo Seok!

Only time will tell who the guest is when the episode releases next week!
