Tom Cruise, the famous Hollywood actor, met up with BTS member Jin while in South Korea promoting his new movie, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two. Cruise surprised fans by appearing on Jin's solo variety show called 'Run BTS Jin' on the group's YouTube channel 'BANGTAN TV'. This meeting between the two icons was their first ever.

Cruise's visit to Korea was to promote Mission: Impossible 8, which is scheduled to premiere in Korea on July 17. He arrived in Seoul on May 7 with the film's director Christopher McQuarrie and co-stars Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, and Greg Tarzan Davis. This trip marked Cruise's 12th official visit to Korea.

Apart from Cruise's appearance on Run BTS Jin, other cast members participated in different Korean shows: director McQuarrie was on Master’s Talk with director Choi Dong-hoon and actors Simon Pegg and Greg Tarzan Davis featured on Epik High’s YouTube channel. The release of these segments is expected around the movie's premiere.

Mission: Impossible 8 follows Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) and his IMF team dealing with a global crisis in a risky mission. This film is the first in the franchise to receive an invitation to the Cannes Film Festival but is shown out of competition.
