Jin, a member of BTS, has received widespread recognition for his solo Run Seokjin Ep Tour, which featured unusual events and an atypical progression. During one of the phases when the star needs to guess the name of a BTS song or any other term linked to himself while the fans play charades, he failed to recognize one for fellow member J-Hope and apologised for it during a post-concert livestream. In response to another fan's comment about having his teammates as background dancers, the team's eldest member explained that due to their exorbitant appearance fees, he may not be able to hire them.
Jin is not one to back down from a challenge, and as a die-hard gamer, he thought what better way to kick off his solo concert than to shout 'I challenge' and then move on to a series of exciting games that involved his audience members. One of the most popular sessions throughout the show is the charades game, in which his supporters act out the song or phrase shown on the screen. During his July 30 show in Newark, the singer had to guess J-Hope, and despite the BTS ARMY's Killin' It Girl dance and shirtless acting, Jin was unable to identify his teammate.
During a post-concert livestream, J-Hope commented, "Hahaha, why do you look so exhausted, Jin?"
When he noticed the comment, he said, "Is someone [among the members] here? J-Hope, my bro. Today's keyword to guess at Run Jin was "J-Hop," and I failed. Sorry, my brother! What is the thing you do every day? I'm sorry for my mistake; I'm J-Hope something, huh, that," he joked about it.
