BTS’s Jin to Make First Variety Show Appearance After Military Discharge with “Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island”
BTS's Jin (Kim Seok-jin, 32) will make his first variety show appearance since completing his military service
According to Star News on July 1st, Jin participated as a guest in the filming of MBC’s variety program “Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island” on an uninhabited island at the end of last month. The episode featuring Jin will be scheduled for broadcast at a later date.
“Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island” is a reality program where “Village Chief” Ahn Jung-hwan, who led “Buddy into the Wild”, invites viewers to an uninhabited island’s abandoned house for a “0.5-star uninhabited island check-in” experience. Anyone dreaming of a life in nature away from the complicated city can check into this 0.5-star uninhabited island. Ahn Jung-hwan and his workers aim to provide 5-star service in the 0.5-star environment, despite the lack of water and electricity.
Having completed his military service on June 12th, Jin will reconnect with viewers through “Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island”.
Fans and viewers are showing great interest in seeing Jin, who is transforming into a “natural person” and taking on an outdoor reality challenge, and what charm he will display on the show. Previously, Jin demonstrated his entertainment skills on various variety programs like “My Alcohol Diary”, “HalMyungSoo” and “Running Man” before enlisting in late 2022.
Meanwhile, Jin’s return to work immediately after his discharge has heightened fans’ expectations. On June 30th, he responded to a fan’s question on the fan community platform Weverse, saying, “I’m recording and filming variety shows, proceeding with plans made in the military. I’m trying to show my face as much as possible while doing my main job. The results will come out in a few months, so please wait a little longer.” On June 13th, Jin made his first official appearance after his discharge at BTS’s 11th-anniversary event “2024 BTS FESTA”.
