“BTS Jin, the real God among the Ragtag Gods.”

BTS member Jin is ready to step back into the limelight, and this time with a twist of humor and unpredictability. 

The global superstar has reportedly wrapped up filming for a special appearance on the quirky Netflix variety show “Screwballs,” marking his second major guesting after appearing on “Kian’s Bizarre B&B” since his mandatory military discharge.

According to South Korean media outlet OSEN and as reflected on the teaser, Jin will appear in episodes 13 to 15 of the series, which are slated to air weekly from May 11 to 25.

While Netflix has yet to release an official announcement, a teaser clip has already stirred excitement across fandoms. 

The clip shows Jin entering the scene wearing a masquerade mask, joining what appears to be a mythological-themed gathering titled “Along with the Gods.”

In stark contrast to Jin’s ethereal entrance, the show’s cast – Kim Sook, Hong Jin Kyung, Cho Sae Ho, Joo Woo Jae and Jang Woo Young – are decked out in laughably ridiculous costumes and wigs, which set the stage for a clash of divine and chaotic energies.

“The ragtag wannabe gods are graced by a real god,” the teaser declares, playfully referencing Jin’s legendary visuals. Reportedly, the cast was left stunned by what they called the arrival of the “most handsome idol.”

Jin is also making history as the first-ever guest on “Screwballs,” a series that has been gaining traction for its wild concepts and eccentric humor. His participation not only underscores his return to entertainment but also teases a lighter, more comedic side fans are eager to see.

Looking ahead, BTS is poised for a grand reunion by June 2025. With RM and V set to be discharged on June 10, followed by Jimin and Jungkook on June 11, and Suga wrapping up his service on June 21, the stage is being set for what could be one of K-pop’s most monumental comebacks.
