Jin calls himself wrong, arrogant

During the episode, Jin met fans as he climbed to the top of the mountain. His crew played several games with him. Jin rested several times, had beverages and also chatted with his fans. As he walked, Jin said, "I was in the wrong. I was just so excited that I wrongly thought I could just do everything. How arrogant I was. We should change our theme from 'I can do anything' but to 'should we try something at least?'"
