Eat Him First!: Jin's playful "Zombie Betrayal" of J-Hope on ‘Run Jin’ leaves ARMY in splits

BTS singer Jin is back with another entertaining episode of his variety show, Run Jin, and this time, he roped in fellow bandmate J-Hope for a special post-military training adventure. The episode, shot just a day after J-Hope’s discharge from basic training, had ARMYs experiencing both laughter and déjà vu as Jin's mischievous antics stole the spotlight.

Kim Seok-jin prepared an elaborate spooky setup for Jung Ho-seok, complete with a military-style meal, an abandoned hospital, an escape room, and a swarm of zombies. Knowing J-Hope’s fear of all things eerie, the episode was primed for hilarious chaos.

The highlight? When zombies leapt out of a cupboard during their hunt, Jin didn’t just panic—he betrayed J-Hope in the funniest way possible, yelling, “Eat him first!” as he jokingly offered his friend to the undead. The moment had ARMYs cracking up as J-Hope tried to recover from both the scare and the mock betrayal.
