In a surprising twist that thrilled fans worldwide, BTS’s Jin is set to feature Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise on his solo YouTube show, Run Seok Jin. Their recent meeting in Korea marked the first time the two global icons met, when Cruise was visiting South Korea to promote his latest film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two (MI 8).
According to a report by Edaily, Cruise is set to appear in a special segment of Run Seok Jin, a light-hearted series where Jin embarks on unique weekly challenges and experiences. The unexpected appearance of Tom Cruise has created major excitement online, merging K-pop and Hollywood cinema in a way no one anticipated. Fans were quick to dub it the ultimate crossover moment.
Cruise landed in Korea on May 7 to promote his upcoming action film. This marked his 12th trip to the country, and this time he wasn’t alone. The film’s director Christopher McQuarrie, along with Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, and Greg Tarzan Davis also joined him on the tour.
During his stay, Cruise took time to film a solo segment for Jin’s show. Many fans linked it to a recent behind-the-scenes clip of Jin performing intense stunt choreography in an episode humorously dubbed “Jin Wick,” showcasing his impressive action skills.
Social media is flooded with reactions. One fan exclaimed, “He’s Hollywood bound!” while another commented, “This collab is wild—can’t wait to see what they’ve got in store.” The idea of Jin and Cruise sharing screen time left many fans in awe.
Meanwhile, Mission: Impossible 8 is gearing up for its Korean theatrical release on May 17. Promising high-stakes action that the franchise is known for, the film features Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the IMF team facing one of their most dangerous missions yet.
With Jin’s charm and Cruise’s cinematic gravitas, this unexpected collaboration has added an exciting twist to the film’s promotional campaign.
