Although Jin was born in Gwacheon, he attended school in Songpa-gu, Seoul from elementary school onward. In a recent YouTube episode of <Run Seojin>, he even revisited his old school. In the video, he grabbed his favorite childhood snack combo from the school store: pizza tteok-mari (rice cake rolls) and Picnic grape juice. While visiting the school area, why not try Jinโs go-to snacks? Oh, please stay quiet and respectful while you're there!
