“Running Man” Ji Seok Jin Once Tried To Cover “Dynamite”, Fellow Seokjin — BTS’s Jin — Made Sure He Didn’t Feel Bad About It

Now THAT is a humble man.

Since debuting in 2013, BTS has been known for being a group where all the members are humble, kind, and genuine. Whether with fans, or other celebrities, the members seem to be constantly praised for their personalities.

In particular, one person who has recently praised a member of the group is comedian Ji Seok Jin. He met the group on an episode of Running Man years ago and sparked a friendship with member Jin, who coincidently has the same name. Yet, even with the group’s hectic schedule, it seems as the two Seokjins are still in contact.

Like most fans, Ji Seok Jin tried out the BTS McDonald‘s meal when it was available. Before getting to the restaurant, he quickly stopped in a bookstore and found some BTS albums.

While looking through the various albums, Ji Seok Jin seemed interested to know whether the album with “Dynamite” was in stock. In response, the person behind the camera said, “You should practice with it,” referring to the time he sang the track on a reality show.

Ji Seokjin then apologized for his rendition of the group’s hit song and explained how he even texted Jin a personal apology.

Yet, as expected, Jin didn’t have a bad word to say to the comedian. Ji Seok Jin explained that the reply from the eldest member of BTS was touching and even added, “His personality is the best.

He said, ‘If that helps the song even a bit, I’m rather thankful for that.’ So I was touched once again.

This wasn’t the only time Ji Seok Jin praised Jin during the video. He explained that even despite their busy schedules, Jin will always find time to reply to his messages. In particular, he pointed to the time the group appeared on “You Quiz on the Block.”

And on You Quiz on the Block, I saw him talking about me. I was like, ‘I heard you’re going on You Quiz.’ And he was like, ‘I’m so excited. I’m looking forward to it.’ He told me how he loves going on Korean shows.
