Photo=YouTube channel 'BANGTANTV' video capture Jin of BTS (Bulletproof Boy Scouts) and Sandul of B1A4 reunited through 'Run, Sokjin'. The two are representative best friends in the entertainment industry and co-starred in the MBC variety show 'It Would Have Been Nice to Rest'. On the 15th, 'Run, Sokjin' was released through BTS's official YouTube channel. The video captured Jin challenging sea fishing with his best friend Sandul. Sandul was surprised by the scale of 'Run, Sokjin', saying, 'This is a full-fledged variety show. Drones are flying too.' He continued, 'Jin suddenly called me and said, 'Let's shoot together.' He didn't tell me what we would do.' Jin responded, 'That's because I don't know either. I still don't know what we are going to do,' which drew laughter. On this day, a fishing mission was held where they could go home if they caught a bigger fish, and Sandul showed a confused expression, saying, 'Isn't this completely left to luck?' To this, Jin joked, 'That's how my content originally is. Previously, when I filmed with Ji Sokjin, I won, and he stayed until the end to shoot while I went home first. Of course, I feel sorry, but that's how the content is, so it can't be helped.' They also did promotional PR during their spare time, and Sandul was amazed at the scale, saying, 'It's really global. A superstar.' The twist of the day was that the main content was not a fishing mission but a collaboration with the marine police. Unlike Sandul, who quickly recovered from the shock, Jin showed a bewildered expression, saying, 'Wasn't it about catching octopus and black rockfish?' But this was only for a moment. While training for life-saving, Jin and Sandul asked the police officers, who were pretending to be drowning, 'Do you know BTS?' 'Do you know B1A4?' 'Who is your favorite in BTS?' The police officer replied, 'I know both BTS and B1A4. Among BTS, Jin is my favorite,' and excited Jin and Sandul shouted, 'Hurry and save him!' 'We have to save this person!' making the police officer laugh.
