BTS's Jin is not only known for his charming looks and cooking skills but also his playful humor that keeps fans laughing.

On the 21st, during episode 18 of BTS’s self-produced variety show Run, Seok Jin, Jin teamed up with model and broadcaster Hong Jin Kyung to prepare a special New Year’s lunchbox. But things took a hilarious turn when Jin revealed a funny situation involving Hong Jin Kyung’s daughter, who happens to be a huge fan of Jin.

In the episode, Jin mentioned that he had agreed to a secret shoot, and joked about being ready to “cut ties” with Hong Jin Kyung’s daughter because of her admiration for him. Of course, Jin quickly corrected himself, making the entire crew burst into laughter from the very start!

The pair had a blast cooking traditional Korean dishes like japchae, galbi, and kimchi, all while introducing them to international ARMYs. Jin, who revealed that he cooks 80% of his meals, took charge of the kitchen, showing off his impressive culinary skills. When Hong Jin Kyung playfully asked, “Is it fun to be born this good-looking?” Jin responded with his signature humor, saying, “Yes, it’s fun!”

The laughs continued in a silly game where they mimed animals like a magpie, hamster, and gorilla, leaving everyone in stitches. But what really melted hearts was when Jin decided to give his game winnings to Hong Jin Kyung’s daughter, along with a sweet letter. It was such a thoughtful and touching moment!

Once the lunchboxes were ready, they were delivered to Jin’s close friends, chef Baek Jong Won and actor Lee Yi Kyung, who posted photos and videos to show their appreciation for Jin’s hard work.

It was clear that the lunchboxes were made with love and laughter, leaving fans and friends alike in awe of Jin’s talents and kindness.

The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
