The refreshing vibe has resulted in numerous social media interactions that highlight viewers’ hopes for future developments.
“I know the appreciation for what could have been actor SeokJi n but… I hope that no one takes them as a ship fr cause I want them to keep interacting with whoever they have to in a happy mood instead of worried because of the ‘SK way’, which spreads dating rumors out of nowhere,”a netizen wrote.

“My wish came true! Finally we can watch Seokjin interact with a young, pretty girl in a relaxed, caring & fun way, neither shy nor awkward at all. Maybe not fully romantic yet, but a foreshadow of a real romcom to come, sooner rather than later, pls?,”another user added.
“OH, so Jin’s Tuna phase is ending? ?,”a person joked.
