Don’t you just love it when your favorite brand chooses your bias as its endorser?
When JIN RAMEN introduced JIN of BTS as its global ambassador back in 2022, I was more than happy. Early in Jin’s career, he and his BTS brothers had been vocal that he dreams of endorsing JIN RAMEN in the future to the fact that they have the same name and he sincerely loves the product.
Seeing Jin in a Jin Ramen commercial before he officially enlisted in the military in late 2022 was in a way, comforting. Jin definitely manifested that endorsement and knowing that he was able to make his dream come true and even shot a TVC made it more special. I got more excited when Jin’s imaginary child RJ and his BT21 friends took over in early 2023.
Though BTS JIN wasn’t active for 18 months, I remained loyal to Jin Ramen (Mild) as it is really our go-to instant ramen at home.
When Jin finally got discharged, I admit that I’ve been waiting for another collab between the two. My hope reignited in 2024 when Jin filmed a Run Jin episode where he cooked and served Jin Ramen to kids in a noorebang.
TIME FOR A GLOW-UP!
Little did we know that JIN RAMEN and JIN were actually cooking something special – a major glow up!
JIN RAMEN released a new TVC featuring JIN of BTS and the promotion is so ‘Jin-coded’.
Finally, the JINcredible glow up of Jin Ramen finally arrived in the Philippines!
I, together with fellow Seokjinnies Nica and Sam plus RJ & Wootteo were invited to the official launch of Jin Ramen in the Philippines last May 24 at the SM Megamall Game Park (our first time!) What’s the best way to celebrate this milestone? Play games, listen to music and eat a lot of good food while waiting for raffle prizes!
The JIN RAMEN PH EVENT was sooooo Jin-coded. It’s as if Jin prepared it himself and we are the chosen participants in a fun-filled Run Jin episode. I guess that simply proves that the organizers to know and love their global endorser very well 😉
I rarely attend events now, but definitely this is one of the best ones in a long while because it was well-organized and thought of. I also saw a number of familiar faces I haven’t seen in years.
Here’s the JIN-credible Glow up of JIN RAMEN! Though Otoki introduced a new packaging for our beloved mild and spicy ramens, there’s no doubt that the quality of the product and the taste still remains — still comforting and satisfying to eat especially after a long day.
Here are some of the highlights of the event:
- JIN RAMEN – JIN RAMEN for Dinner? YES PLEASE! I am still a Jin Ramen Mild loyalist, but I also discovered that I can actually tolerate the spicy one as long as I am not being rushed.
- GAMES, CHARADES AND TRIVIA SHARING! – We were encouraged to play games. Like our beloved bias, we played games as if our lives depended on it. I was able to try out basketball, darts and bowling at a limited time. As someone who doesn’t really play physical games that much, this gave me enough boost. It’s as if we’re all part of a Run Jin episode!
We also played charades and were asked to pick trivias from a fish bowl. How well do you know Jin?
3. MUSIC! – Given that Jin’s second album ‘Echo’ was released a week before the event, it was already expected that they’ll be playing majority of the songs from the album particularly ‘Don’t Say You Love Me’. It was fun to spot fellow ARMY dancing and singing their hearts out whenever a familiar song plays. We were truly in our safe spaces.
4. RAFFLE DRAW AND TAKEAWAYS – Special Jin Ramen / JIN-related memorabilias were raffled off during the event. We were also given a special box containing an incredible gift.
JIN RAMEN’s new packaging featuring BTS JIN is now available in supermarkets nationwide! Buy the limited-edition packaging featuring BTS Jin and Wootteo stickers! There are 10 designs to collect!
When was the last time you attended an event where you had a lot of fun? Are you a Jin Ramen lover? Mild or Spicy? Is Jin one of your favorite idols too?
