Kim Myung Jin, the producer of Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island, recently praised BTS’ Jin for his hard work and hinted at his upcoming project. Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island is a variety show that revolves around a unique vacation experience on an uninhabited island. In the show, Ahn Jung Hwan transforms an abandoned house into a “half-star hotel” where guests looking for a break from city life can enjoy a rustic stay surrounded by nature.
In an interview with YTN Star, Kim Myung Jin talked about BTS’ Jin and his remarkable work ethic. Kim revealed that Jin had only slept a few hours before arriving as he was busy working on music the night before. According to Sports Seoul, Jin had a lot of fun filming despite only 2-3 hours of sleep the night before.
Although the results of his hard work are yet to be seen, Jin has been intensely focused on producing music, shooting music videos, and working on commercials since his release. His devotion to his fans is evident, even if the fruits of his labor will not be seen until later.
The producer praised Jin for his dedication and hard work in preparing for his fans despite his demanding schedule. He expressed his gratitude for Jin’s willingness to take time out despite his busy schedule. Although adjusting the schedule was challenging due to his tight schedule, Jin’s proactive communication before his release allowed the production team to prepare for his performance quickly and effectively. Jin’s commitment to doing his best was evident the entire time.
Additionally, MBC released a new preview featuring BTS’ Jin for the upcoming episode of the hit variety show Half-Star Hotel in Lost Island on August 17 (KST). The preview begins with Jin demonstrating his precision in cutting the ingredients. Showing off his knife skills from his military days, Jin expertly slices clams and oysters into perfectly thin, straight pieces, impressing the entire cast.
Jin receives special praise from renowned Korean chef Lee Yong Bok, who smiles approvingly at the BTS member’s exceptional cooking and cutting techniques. Jin also impresses with his technique in handling and cutting sea cucumbers, earning further recognition for his meticulous skills.
The preview suggests that Jin will be a star chef on the show, which is building anticipation for his appearance. Fans are excited to see how Jin adapts to the unique environment and showcases his culinary skills when the episode airs on August 19.
Jin was discharged from the military on June 12, 2024, and all BTS members took time off to welcome him home. The following day, June 13, he held a special event for FESTA 2024, where he gave “light hugs” to 1,000 lucky fans.
