BTS is currently one of the most successful and powerful artists in the Kpop world. Therefore, every time they appear on programs, they are loved and respected by other celebrities.
However, behind the power of BTS, there is an even stronger force and this is what makes anyone wary when facing BTS's demands. Jin knows this character's power better than anyone and uses this frequently to make his requests come true.
But of course, it's for good purposes and makes for funny stories.
Specifically, recently, Jin's episode of "Running Man" was finally broadcast. Jin has appeared on this show which is loved by many for his hilarious moments between Jin and the cast, with some of their fun games.
At one point, the teams discussed prizes for the winners and what the losers would receive. The staff revealed that the winning team will receive jjampong, while the losing team will only receive a basic lunch box.
After it was revealed that the losing team would only get one lunch box, so Kim Jong Kook was shocked when they even revealed that there won't be any ramen for the losing team. It seemed to not only upset Kim Jong Kook, but even Jin was shocked by the simple meal the losers would receive.
Jin expressed his worry, "Ah, I'll cry if I lose", and Kim Jong Kook was the first to reassure him, adding, "Oh, Jiniya...". But of course, Jin also found a way to save his lunch if he lost by using the power of ARMY.
He boldly threatened the Running Man staff to have a better lunch for the losers. He said that: "Maybe I should write on my Instagram that the ‘Running Man’ staff were mean".
Well, it seems like Jin knows how scared the staff would be when they heard that if the ARMYs heard about the BTS member being "mistreated", they would be scared. He clearly knows that the fandom is the most powerful, BTS's ARMY is one of the strongest and worries the staff with his ultimatum.
ARMY is always active on social media, promoting the group, but is also ready to defend the members whenever possible. Jin also has over 41 million followers and Instagram, with them including ARMY and celebrities. Such a comment from Jin about the staff could be detrimental to the show.
When the video was posted, ARMYs couldn't understand that Jin was using them as a threat on a popular Korean show. Of course, with his charisma, those who don't really know BTS or ARMY can understand that the idol is joking.
This isn't the only time ARMYs' "threat" has scared off a celebrity. Jin brought the power of ARMY in on an episode of Run BTS by saying the same thing to his staff.
On the latest episode with Park Myung Soo, he also worried that ARMYs' reaction might not be good if they told a funny anecdote about their interactions in the bathroom. But in the end they still tell the story in a lovely way and ARMY fully support it because it shows the daily life of Jin and Park Myung Soo.
Although ARMY likes people to interact with the members, they are not afraid to protect BTS with all they have. The fact that Jin understands this power and how it causes fear in celebrities is hilarious.
