On the latest episode of Run Jin!, comedian Heo Kyung Hwan appeared as a guest and shared an unexpected story about his past connection with BTS’s Jin. The conversation started when the two met at Chef Lee Yeon Bok’s house, where Jin brought up a moment that had hurt his feelings.

According to Heo Kyung Hwan, Jin once greeted him during a show they both worked on, but the comedian didn’t acknowledge it. Although Jin couldn’t recall the incident clearly, he pretended to be shocked and played along. Heo Kyung Hwan, seemingly regretful, said he wanted to clear the air between them.

Once the story surfaced, ARMYs quickly reacted, expressing frustration that many celebrities now openly admit to having overlooked or mistreated BTS in the past. Some questioned whether the comedian’s intention was genuine or if he was seeking attention by bringing up his past actions.
