What is Run Jin and what kind of show is it?

Run Jin is a single variety show hosted by BTS member Jin. In each episode, Jin attempts various challenges, games, or activities. The program is light-hearted and intended to depict Jin's personality beyond music performances.

The program has been on the rise ever since its introduction. It frequently has guests, and Tom Cruise would be among the most international names to feature on the show. The program has a reputation for incorporating humor with little chores and individual discussions.

Tom Cruise's cameo will be a one-off segment and not a full guest appearance. It will probably be a brief part of a larger episode where Jin discusses or has some interaction with Cruise. This is consistent with the show's format, which frequently features cut-ins, reactions, and special clips.
