BTS' Jin to Tom Cruise: Do you know BTS?
21 May - BTS' Jin has finally released the interview he had with Tom Cruise to promote the Hollywood icon's latest film, "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning". On 20 May, the singer posted the "Run Jin" latest episode on Bangtan TV Youtube Channel, where he sat down with Cruise and started his question with "Do you know BTS?" and got starstruck when the actor responded that he knows them. "Congratulations for your band, your career, and what you created... It's very impressive. I'm a big fan and I'm very happy to be here, to be on your show right now," said Cruise. Jin admitted that it was a significant moment for him to sit down with Cruise, seeing that the first film he watched as he turned 15 and was able to watch age-restricted movies was "Mission: Impossible". Cruise also shared many things on the interview, including the challenging stunts, saying, "The stuff that you're seeing with the wing-walking had never been done before. I didn't know physically what it would take. Within 5 minutes, it was like the hardest weight workout you've ever done ever." "I really had to improve my power to be able to do it, and the wind is so hard that when you step out of the cockpit it hits you so hard that it's hard to breathe... It's going so fast. The type of training I had to do, it surprised me. I had to change my whole training regime. It was definitely the most challenging action I've ever done," he added. Following the interview, Jin was sent to Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi on a mission to "deactivate the bomb", where he completed four missions and succeeded after his second try.
