Although JIn has wrapped up his promotions for The Astronaut with a bunch of interesting shows, he hasn't abandoned ARMY on a recent weekly basis. Jin even gave ARMY a series he put together with chef Baek Jong Won and it was really fun.
In this afternoon's episode, Jin and chef Baek Jong Won took a trip to a traditional Korean market. When he arrived here, Jin had an idea about a bet with the chef but in the end Jin realized his decision was wrong.
Can you guess what Jin bet and lost against the chef? Amazingly, it's about popularity:
Jin has been close friends with chef Baek Jong Won for a very long time ever since they had the chance to meet on a variety show. Over the years, Jin has shared many fond memories of cooking with chef Baek Jong Won despite the age gap between them and their different professions.
Chef Baek Jong Won also said that at first because he didn't understand Jin's job, he didn't know how to communicate with Jin. Later, when he saw the way Jin talked about food with sparkling eyes, he understood the special bond in their friendship.
More specifically, Jin recently released an entertainment program that he conducted with chef Baek. And in this afternoon's episode, he and chef Baek Jong Won went to Ganghwa Market to buy cooking ingredients.
As soon as he arrived at the market, Jin had an idea of making a bet with Chef Baek to see who was more recognizable here. Since the market is a crowded place and it seems like Jin is pretty confident given the popularity of BTS over the years, he's excited to take part in this bet. Chef Baek is also willing to have a match with Jin.
Naturally, Jin is quite prominent in the market with his handsome body proportions and visuals. His style of dress and curly hair further accentuate the star's aura. So surely many people will notice him and most of all people will recognize him as BTS Jin.
But the truth proves that Jin was wrong to think that he would be recognized by more people than chef Baek Jong Won. When the two walked around the market together, Chef Baek was the one who was recognized by all the old and middle-aged people in the market.
He was so sought after that everyone surrounded him and asked to take a picture with him while Jin just pulled the cart away and smiled shyly.
Even without taking off his mask and having a trendy youthful taste, Chef Baek defeated Jin at the traditional market. Jin also seems to be quite surprised by this complete loss and has to admit the chef's popularity.
Many ARMYs, after seeing this scene, had to laugh at the bet between a famous chef and a worldwide idol:
- “It was like a dust and space”
- he knew it was gonna be like this they went to ahjumma market
- ll the ahjummas flocking to him
- wait- you're telling me he was in public in his own country and nobody recognized him?!!
- I am shocked too

- Not the another meme was born
- Jin on the inside: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
