Jin once shared that he doesn't have many friends and the number of celebrities he keeps in touch with is extremely small. In his contacts, celebrity chef Lee Yeon Bok's phone number is probably one of the top 10 celebrity phone numbers he keeps.

Jin and Chef Lee have built a strong relationship over the years, sharing moments that go beyond their professional fields. Their friendship, which began on the 2017 variety show Please Take Care of My Refrigerator (Chef & My Fridge), has been a constant source of admiration for Jin's personality and demeanor.

Then, the two continued showing their harmonious friendship through many reality shows, such as Half-star Hotel in Lost Island after Jin was discharged from the army or the vlog of Jin visiting Lee Yeon-bok's house to learn cooking recipes in 2022.

That's also why at the press conference released on March 27 for KBS's Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant, many reporters suggested that Chef Lee invite Jinh to participate in the new show. In response to the reporter's question, Chef Lee not only admitted this intention but also made fans amazed when hinting at Jin's upcoming new project.

Specifically, Chef Lee shared: "BTS' Jin asked me to teach him how to toss a wok, so I was going to teach him, but I heard there's a nationwide tour starting in April. If a celeb is that sincere about cooking, that's enough. I'll gladly help".

Since Lee Yeon Bok's υиєχρє¢тє∂ statement, fans' speculation about Jin's upcoming activities has increased significantly. ARMYs “accused” that what Chef Lee was referring to was Jin’s upcoming “tour”:

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN NATION WIDE TOUR IN APRIL ?

- Tour in april? Like this or the next one? Jin's solo or bts? Chef just gave a big spoiler to us delulu, bangtan deprived fandom. He doesn't know he poked a bear

- I'll just wait and see without speculating... Whatever comes from him will be good, right now I just want him to show up... This Seokjin drought is too hard, come back

- Brooo Jin's nationwide tour in korea We can wait until official announcement but we will watch his live singing after long time can't wait

- NATIONWIDE TOUR IN APRIL ?!?!? OMFG WHAT IS THIS MEAN OH MY FCKING GOD IM SO INVESTED RN CHEF LEE YEONBOK KNOWS THE TEA KIM SEOKJIN WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING

On the other hand, many wondered if this was an α¢¢ι∂єитal reveal of upcoming activities:

- What does he mean by nation wide tour? Does he mean concert tour? Or some travel show like tour? Or some cooking related soмєтнing?

- What does he mean by that?!) concerts?!( the Coldplay concerts?!? Promo tour for the Netflix show?!) brand events?!) ALO related promos?!),

- press tour for the kian84 netflix show? surely if it was a music tour it won't get spoiled like this+we'd have gotten SOME leaks before that

- Not sure what's with the nationwide tour, but i'm sure it's not nini's tour. u need a lot of songs to go on tour, n his discography isn't that big. plus, hobi is already on tour, so none of the other tannies will do music related activities while one is already doing soмєтнing as we've always seen. so let's not get our hopes high

While BTS’s Jin has yet to confirm any special tour or solo plans, fans are more excited than ever!
