Jin(Kim Seok-jin), who conquered the world as a member of BTS, also experienced the ‘power’ of more popular entertainment.

He said that he had a rare experience while appearing on Netflix’s new entertainment show ‘Daehwajang Gianjang’ and that “when I go to an awards ceremony and receive an award, four or five people contact me to congratulate me, but this is the first time that more than 10 of my friends contacted me saying that they watched it and that it was fun.”

This is Jin’s first time appearing as a regular on a variety show, aside from the group’s own web variety show ‘Run BTS’ where he appears with all of the other BTS members.

At the press conference for the program held at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Grand Ballroom in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 15th, he said, “This is the first time in my life that I’ve received so many calls.I’m grateful to the production team, CEO Kian84, and staff member Ji Ye-eun.”

‘Daehwajang Gianjang’ is a variety program where Gian84, Jin, and Ji Ye-eun run a guesthouse on Ulleungdo Island.It is gathering attention as the new work of PD Jeong Hyo-min and writer Yoon Shin-hye of ‘Hyori’s Guesthouse’.A total of 9 episodes will be released, 3 episodes each for 3 weeks starting on the 8th.
