Jin is set to make a dynamic return to tvN’s variety show Handsome Guys, where his competitive spirit and humor captured audiences during his first guest appearance. The show, known for its lively Sunday entertainment, features a unique bingo race that explores Korea’s cultural heritage and architectural beauty.
In the upcoming fifth episode, titled "Exploring the Architecture of Jeju on the Beautiful Island," the cast embarks on a quest to uncover nine significant architectural landmarks that reflect Jeju’s rich history, culture, and charm.
Jin, who made waves in the series premiere, is rejoining the cast with renewed determination. During his initial appearance, his enthusiasm for the show was evident as he cleared his schedule to fully immerse himself in the competition. Despite his efforts, he ended up performing the first penalty of the show after being bested by the regular cast members—a twist that made him a memorable part of the debut episode.
In the latest episode, Jin arrives with a fierce determination for revenge. Fellow cast member Oh Sang-wook describes him as having a “burning look” in his eyes, ready to settle scores with his competitive streak on full display. Jin sets the tone by teasing his opponents, saying, “I’m here to see you all work,” sparking excitement for the battle ahead.
Lee Yi-kyung, clearly impressed by Jin’s eagerness, jokingly hands over the reins to the BTS star, saying, “You can organize the team as you want today. But if you lose, you have to come back until you win.” This playful banter only heightens the anticipation for Jin’s performance.
For this episode, Jin teams up with Kim Dong-hyun and Lee Yi-kyung to form the “Handsome Team,” squaring off against Cha Tae-hyun, Shin Seung-ho, and Oh Sang-wook. The stakes are high as Jin steps onto the bingo board with a mission to claim victory and redeem himself.
The fifth episode of Handsome Guys airs on January 5 at 7:40 p.m. on tvN.
