Run Jin episode 17 is here and we cannot stop laughing as Kim Seokjin brings another episode filled with fun, comedy, and a challenge that he is already regretting. Joining him on this special New Year quest is his old friend Lee Jung-hwan aka B1A4 member Sandeul, who is just as annoyed by the challenge as his friend. The two team up to take over the special SKY RUN challenge that has been talked about for quite some time now.
Run Jin started on August 13th, 2024, after BTS Jin was discharged from the military and took over the group’s popular show Run BTS. With the other members still in the military, Jin took over and showed him engaging in various activities, adventures, and more, often with guests like TXT’s Yeonjun, Lee Yi-kyung, Jonathan Yiombi, and more! With a new episode released every Tuesday, he has been entertaining fans around the world as we await the return of all our beloved BTS members this year!
Coming back to this episode, Jin and Sandeul are told about the special SKY RUN challenge that they have to take part in, where they will be climbing a total of 2,917 stairs from the first to the 123rd floor of the tower. However, as the episode is named New Year’s Gift Giveaway, there are events after every interval which they need to complete to get some special gifts.
The duo is left speechless when the challenge is explained to them, leaving them excited but dreading what is to come next. The producers give them relief with a special challenge that gives them the privilege to use the elevator. The duo wins the first challenge and makes their way to the 20th floor after which they climb up to the 22nd floor where they face the first event.
While the duo manages to finish 50% of the task, they are declared to have lost but still get to take some of the gifts on this floor. But they also fail the challenge that would give them the privilege of using the elevator, leaving them climbing the next 20 floors. As they barely make their way to the next event, they share a fun chemistry and finally reach their next challenge.
This way, the duo faces multiple events and gets to use the elevator once in a while before finally reaching the stage from where they no longer get elevator privileges. Right then, Jin suggests running for the next 10 floors, leaving Sandeul breathless as he continues to climb the stairs. Finally, the duo reaches the 123rd floor, finishing the challenge and the producers give them gifts that make the climb worthwhile. With well wishes for the upcoming year from the duo, the episode comes to an end.
The episode is filled with the hilarious chemistry of this duo who are truly showing their off-screen friendship on screen. They are fun, entertaining, and filled with the same energy which surely comes from being in the same age group. Seeing these two together once again really makes for a good episode as they continue to pull each other’s leg while also teaming up to go against the producers when needed.
This episode of Run Jin was definitely filmed for the New Year, and while there has been a delay in the schedule, it is worth the wait. We are ready to see more of what the show is set to bring in the upcoming weeks because the reunion is still a little far but we know that Seokjin is ready to keep the entertainment high for us all.
Altogether, this show never fails to surprise you or make you laugh which has me excited for the next episode!
