From Whelk to King Crab: BTS's Jin Flaunts His Upgraded Taste on ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’

BTS's Jin recently shared his fondness for king crab during his appearance on JTBC's 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator' aired on the 20th. Joining him on the show was Jo Se-ho, who is currently enjoying his newlywed life.

Jin's refrigerator, unveiled for the first time, surprised everyone with its contents, including steamed king crab. Jin humorously remarked, "I've been somewhat successful, so while I couldn't afford it when I was younger, I now order it about once every two weeks. But with rising prices, I've cut back to once every three weeks."

Host Kim Sung-joo commented on Jin's success, recalling Jin's previous appearance on the show in 2017 when he mentioned his preference for canned whelk. Jo Se-ho marveled at Jin's evolution from canned whelk to king crab.



The surprises in Jin's refrigerator didn't stop at king crab. A platter of assorted sashimi, including salmon, flatfish, sea bream, and tuna, was also present. Jin candidly admitted, "It's not something I always have. I ordered it because the fridge was too empty." When asked by Kim Sung-joo if he likes sashimi, Jin replied, "I love sushi and cold raw fish soup. I even had some last night."

Jin enjoys cold raw fish soup about three times a week. When Kim Sung-joo jokingly asked if he was an ambassador for the dish, Kim Poong chimed in, wondering if there was an association for it. Jin humorously declared himself the president of the 'Cold Raw Fish Soup Promotion Association' as he often introduces the dish to others.

Jin even recommended the dish to Tom Cruise, leading Jo Se-ho to mention a video where Tom Cruise tried it and left a message for Jin.



Jin expressed his delight at returning to 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator' after eight years, saying, "I wanted to come back sooner." When Ahn Jung-hwan mentioned J-Hope's appearance in March and suggested a partnership with BTS, Choi Hyun-seok humorously offered to make the show BTS's cafeteria, cooking for them on different days.

Jin, taken aback, responded, "We don't have that kind of budget," acknowledging Choi Hyun-seok's world-class status. Choi then joked about varying prices for different days, eliciting laughter.
