BTS's Jin showed off his amazing skills in martial arts and earned big praise from MMA legend Kim Dong Hyun!

On December 17, BTS's official YouTube and Weverse channels shared the latest episode of Jin's solo series, Run Jin Run, titled "Goodbye Seokjin." This exciting solo content is already trending worldwide on YouTube, proving Jin's incredible global popularity.

The episode started with a surprise visit to Kim Dong Hyun's gym. Jin looked shocked when he realized where he was. Kim Dong Hyun, known as Korea's first UFC fighter and a true MMA icon, greeted Jin warmly. Despite feeling nervous at first, Jin quickly adapted and showed his skills as a natural athlete.

Kim and Jin, who knew each other from Run BTS, were happy to catch up. Broadcaster Jonathan also joined, making the episode even more fun!

The first task was to knock Kim Dong Hyun over while he stood his ground. Kim confidently said, "I've rarely been knocked down in the UFC." The second task was flipping him over while he was lying down. Kim joked, "I’ve never seen the ceiling in the UFC!"

Jin gave it his all and impressed Kim with his strength. Kim admitted, "You’re really strong!" Later, Kim showed why he's a legend by effortlessly flipping Jin, leaving everyone in awe.

Next up was the ultimate endurance challenge, running on a steep treadmill called "My Mountain," designed by Kim himself. Jin set the bar high by lasting 1 minute 32 seconds, a remarkable feat even for pro fighters! Kim was amazed and said, "This is unbelievable. Only those who’ve tried it will know how tough it is."

Jonathan gave it a shot but lasted only 1 minute 8 seconds, which made everyone laugh. Jin joked, "If Jonathan ran first, I could’ve hit 1 minute 40 seconds!"

Jin and Jonathan trained under Kim Dong Hyun and his MMA trainees, including Sambu World Champion Go Seok Hyun. Jin’s playful moves and "intense gaze" had everyone laughing, but he also showed serious determination.

The final mission was for Jin to topple Kim Dong Hyun within 90 seconds. To everyone's shock, Jin pulled it off! Kim couldn’t believe it and said, "Even with five people, I’ve never been taken down before. How did he do it?"

Kim praised Jin, calling him "an MMA prodigy," while Jin humbly said it was teamwork with Jonathan that made it happen.

Jin won gift certificates as a prize but decided to give them to Kim Dong Hyun's hardworking trainees, saying, "You deserve this for all your effort." He even promised Jonathan a special gift of premium beef, showing his thoughtful side.

Park Hyung Sik has finally spoken out about the dating rumors with his Strong Woman Do Bong Soon co-star, Park Bo Young, after fans were buzzing over their recent interactions.

On January 25, a new video titled "'Did I date Bo Young noona? Actually, the truth of that day…" dropped on Singles Magazine's YouTube channel.

In the interview, Park Hyung Sik shared his thoughts about love and family, and also addressed those steamy dating rumors that recently made headlines.

When asked about what brings him joy these days, Park Hyung Sik revealed, “What makes me happiest is being with the people who love me”, joking, “I must be suffering from love deficiency. I keep seeking out people who love me!”

He also added a little insight into his family dynamics, saying, “I’m the youngest at home, but my family has always been very affectionate. I think I absorbed all of that”.

Talking about his own family, Park Hyung Sik said his older brother is very affectionate, often ending their calls with “I love you”, which makes others in the family do a double-take.

“When I hang up with my older brother, everyone looks at him like, ‘Did I just hear that?’” he laughed, admitting his family has always been a bit different in expressing love.

Reflecting on his childhood, he shared a heartwarming memory of his father saying “I love you” before leaving for work every morning, which made him feel very comfortable showing affection.

As for the Strong Woman Do Bong Soon set, Park Hyung Sik reminisced about filming the drama, recalling that the staff had noticed the natural chemistry between him and Park Bo Young, joking, “When we were filming, the camera directors said, ‘There’s something suspicious between the two of you’”. The affection between them was so real that it made staff wonder if they were secretly dating!

The rumors flared up again after an October charity event for breast cancer awareness, where Park Bo Young was seen tenderly removing an eyelash from Park Hyung Sik’s face. That moment sparked online speculations that the two might be a couple.

But Park Hyung Sik was quick to clear things up, saying, “She was sitting next to me and said, ‘Let me take a picture.’ Then she noticed my eyelash and said, ‘Hyung Sik, you have an eyelash here.’ I asked, ‘Where?’ and she took it off for me.”

He added, “It was edited that way, so I could understand why it might look that way,” directly putting those dating rumors to rest.

Looks like it’s just pure affection between two friends!
