Jin Wraps Up Netflix Show with Memorable Performance
Jin of BTS recently concluded his appearance on the Netflix variety show ‘Death’s Game Plan’ (translated from ‘대환장 기안장’), which aired its final episode on April 22. Known for his unexpected variety show chops, Jin played the role of an all-rounder nicknamed the “multi-talented employee.” From cooking to cleaning and even fixing things, Jin tackled each task with determination and humor, leaving viewers impressed.
Reflecting on the experience, Jin remarked, “Filming this show was an unforgettable and precious time for me. When I first arrived on Ulleungdo and saw the setup, I felt overwhelmed. But eventually, I found myself adapting naturally, which made me smile.”
From ‘MacGyver Jin’ to Most Talked-About Variety Star
Jin wasn’t just a guest — he became a pillar of support for fellow cast member Kian84, helping to steer the show with his grounded presence. Fans and viewers praised his consistent energy, pushing Jin to the top of the Good Data Corporation’s FUNdex rankings for the third week of April. He claimed No. 1 in the TV-OTT (non-drama) performer buzz category, jumping five spots from the previous week.
Jin’s ability to maintain the core principles of the show—even amidst absurd or uncomfortable moments—earned him the nickname ‘MacGyver Jin’, blending the famous 80s problem-solver with his can-do attitude. Thanks to his and the cast’s efforts, ‘Death’s Game Plan’ became the only variety show to crack Netflix’s global non-English series Top 10, landing at No. 6.

With the variety show behind him, Jin is now turning his focus back to his music career. On May 16, he is set to release his second mini-album titled ‘Echo’. The album captures various emotional moments in life—like echoes that ripple through our hearts. Featuring seven tracks rooted in band-style sounds, the album’s title track ‘Don’t Say You Love Me’ explores the emotional tension of clinging to fading love.
Fans eagerly await his musical return, expecting the same sincerity and charm he displayed on the show.
