Jin of BTS has barely debuted on Netflix and what is the most recent piece of news that has just dropped? Without further ado, he's going to appear in another Korean variety show. Where? On Netflix! Yes, Jin has become unstoppable. Not that the world is complaining.
Jin is the kind of person known to shift atmospheres. You’ve seen it happen before, didn't you? (If you didn't, you're missing a lot of fun and warmth.) Whether you're a long time fan, you saw it happen on Run BTS, oh, some unforgettable momens of In The SOOP (mangos, anyone? Fireworks in the morning?), and maybe recently, even.
One minute he’s making beds on a cliffside in Kian’s Bizarre B&B, boiling rice and looking like a Studio Ghibli character come to life. Then, he announces another album, a solo tour, the end of his Run Jin show and... well, soon he'll back on Netflix again, but this time? He’s diving headfirst into a world built entirely out of duct tape logic, unhinged games, and five adults slowly losing their grip on reality. For those who know Jin of BTS, it does not really look like anything out of the ordinary for him.
The show is called Screwballs: In Search of the Lost Screw. The show is already a sensation in Korea and has been gathering loyal international fans over time. Now? It's about to get even better.
Jin of BTS never stops. And why would we want him to?
The Worldwide Handsome Jin follows chaos where it leads. From serene islands to emotionally unstable missions, he moves like someone who’s figured out the secret: it’s not about the setting—it’s about who you are in the middle of the madness.
In Screwballs: In Search of the Lost Screw, he’s in good company. Kim Sook, Hong Jin-kyung, Jo Se-ho, Joo Woo-jae, and Jang Woo-young have already proven they’re masters of beautiful dysfunction. But when Jin walks in, it’s not just another guest episode. It’s a new frequency. That particular blend of awkward genius and accidental wisdom he brings? No one else has it.
Screwballs: No script, no safety net, all soul
The episode drops in May, and no, we don’t know what happens in it. That’s part of the fun. The missions are ridiculous. The rules are flexible. The jokes? Often at their own expense. But somehow, in the middle of all the screaming and glitter and collapsing props, there’s space for something oddly tender. And that’s exactly where Jin is usually known to shine.
He’s not there to win. He’s there to make everyone feel like it’s okay to be a little weird. A little lost. A little too honest.
And honestly? We need more of that.
The best is always yet to come...
Jin of BTS keeps showing up in places we don’t expect, and every time, it hits a little bit harder. Maybe it’s because he’s not trying to prove anything. He’s just... being. Fully. Loudly. Softly. With the grace of a newborn giraffe. Whatever the moment needs. And we watch because we recognize that magic, even when it’s wrapped in absurdity.
So no, this isn’t just another guest spot.
It’s a moment.
A beautiful derailment.
A reminder that sometimes, the best way to tighten your grip on reality… is by losing a screw. Or two.
