BTS Jin has earned the recognition of fencing national team member Oh Sang-wook for his extraordinary athleticism.

On the 27th episode of BTS‘s own entertainment show ‘Run Seok Jin’, which was posted on BTS’ YouTube channel at 9 PM on the 25th, Jin‘s fencing challenge with 2024 Paris Olympics fencing gold medalists Gu Bon-gil and Oh Sang-wook was revealed.

This episode, which was planned in response to the fervent wishes of ARMY (fandom name) who wanted to see ‘Jin who does fencing’, featured Oh Sang-wook, who Jin met on tvN’s ‘Handsome Guys on Sunday’ last year, appearing as a daily coach.

On this day, Jin appeared showing off his beautiful fencing outfit, and quickly acquired the skills, acting as a ‘fencing genius’. Previously, Jin had consistently challenged himself in various events such as UFC (Goodbye Seokjin), gymnastics (Gymnastics Day), and climbing (Beat Seokjin (feat. Climbing)) in ‘Run Seokjin’. Although he showed off his entertainment sense while being flustered by the high level of difficulty, he showed the side of an athletic talent with stamina and athletic sense that exceeded expectations.


Jin, who began full-scale special training under the guidance of players Koo Bon-gil and Oh Sang-wook, surprised everyone by succeeding in ‘stabbing an apple with a fencing sword’. In the balloon popping competition that followed, he won against Oh Sang-wook, and Oh Sang-wook praised Jin‘s quick learning ability and said, “He’s the best among the daily members.”

At the end of the video, he competed against an elementary school student player with his workday on the line. Jin actively managed the game in a more intense match than expected, and Oh Sang-wook, who took the role of coach, applauded his talent, saying, “I admit that you have athletic ability,” drawing attention.

Meanwhile, in the next episode of ‘Run, Seok-jin’, a fierce competition with actor Park Hyung-sik will unfold.
