Run BTS (Korean: 달려라 방탄; RR: Dallyeora bangtan; also stylized as Run BTS!) is a South Korean variety web series starring boy band BTS. The series broadcasts weekly and has been offered for free viewing on V Live since 2015 and on Weverse since 2020. In each episode, the band members play games or participate in a variety of activities that require them to complete challenges, and sometimes carry out secret missions, in order to earn prizes or receive punishments.

Season one of Run BTS premiered on August 1, 2015.[1] Most episodes aired on a Tuesday, except for when an episode of BTS Gayo was released instead. The series went on a year-long hiatus after the January 5, 2016 episode. Season two premiered on January 31, 2017.[2] The series began consistent weekly airing as of the May 23, 2017 episode. Season three premiered on January 1, 2019.[3] In 2020, the broadcasting of new episodes was paused twice: first for the airing of the band's documentary series Break The Silence in May, and then for their new reality show BTS In the Soop, which ran from the second week of August until the third week of October. In 2021, the show went on a brief hiatus at the beginning of May through mid-June to accommodate promotions for the release of the band's new song at that time.[4]

Format[]

Each episode of Run BTS features the members of BTS taking on activities relevant to the episode's theme, usually in the form of games, missions or challenges, with the promise of a prize(s) if they are successful, or punishments if they fail.[5] The members tackle each task as a group, individual teams, or on a solo basis if required. Special episodes occasionally feature non-competitive activities, such as a fashion show, skits, or drama making. Most episodes are led by an MC, with one of the members filling the role of host for the day, and the production staff who facilitate the missions. Jin and Suga serve as MC's the most often—J-Hope, RM, and V have intermittently assumed MC duties as well. For episodes with missions that require the full group's participation, all members act as presenters.

Episode runtimes initially spanned 8–15 minutes. From the second season onwards, they were increased to 20–40 minutes. In 2020, they were further expanded to a more consistent runtime of 30–40 minutes. Short clips of exclusive behind-the-scenes footage are uploaded after each episode airs. Originally posted on the paid BTS+ Vlive fanship channel beginning in 2017,[6] Big Hit Entertainment moved the clips to its official fan community platform Weverse beginning January 16, 2020 as exclusive subscription-based paid content.[7]

Promotion[]

BTS uploaded two videos advertising the then upcoming new variety show to their V Live channel on February 28, 2015. The first video received 242,000 views and 2.24 million likes, and the second received 100,000 views and 87,000 likes within three days of being posted.[8]

Notes[]

  1. ^ Jump up to: a b c d The series counts Season 1's "Confession" as one episode, though counting each subsequent multi-part episode as more than one episode. This article counts "Confession" as two episodes. As such, the series' overall number of episodes will always differ by one compared to what is displayed in-show.
  2. ^ Suga's confession is shown in Part 2.
  3. ^ Plot summary of the short film Dalbang Dorm (달방하숙)
    To settle their conflicts, the seven occupants of the Dalbang Dorm—Nam-joon, Seok-jin, Yoon-gi, Ho-seok, Ji-min, Tae-hyung and Jung-kook—gather in the common area to agree upon a set of house rules. When the meeting turns into a heated argument, moderator Nam-joon decides that each dormer should contribute an idea.
    Seok-jin proposes the rule: Do not put makeup products in the refrigerator. A flashback shows him opening the refrigerator, only to find it filled with makeup products, leaving little space for food. When the dormers become divided on the rule, Yoon-gi suggests having a separate fridge for cosmetics.
    Next, Ji-min suggests the rule: Do not put your belongings in others’ room. In a flashback, Tae-hyung leaves a stuffed toy and a heart-shaped lamp in Seok-jin and Ji-min's rooms respectively. Tae-hyung insists it is simply his way of sharing things with them. Yoon-gi points out that Nam-joon also does the same. In another flashback, Nam-joon leaves a sweater in Yoon-gi's room after a failed shopping attempt; Yoon-gi, finding the sweater is not his size, then leaves it in Ho-seok's room.
    Since the dormers agree that sharing things is good for them, Ho-seok suggests canceling Ji-min's rule and offers his own: Tidy up after yourself. In a flashback, he finds Ji-min sleeping in his room and messing up his clothes. In another instance, he wakes up to find clothes and ice cream wrappers littering the floor, and the culprits—Jung-kook, Tae-hyung, and Nam-joon—idling in the common room and watching TV, while eating more ice cream.
    This leads to Ji-min reminding the group to put their shoes in order, which causes Seok-jin to vehemently complain about the lack of space in the dorm. When Tae-hyung mutters Jung-kook's name in response, the next rule is laid out: Bring an adequate amount of belongings. A flashback reveals Jung-kook's habit of bringing multiple random objects into the dorm.
    The doorbell rings suddenly, and Yoon-gi announces that he ordered chicken for their lunch. Everyone excitedly rushes out to collect the food, without deciding when the rules will go into effect.
  4. ^ Jump up to: a b The team names include baek (백), the Sino-Korean number word for 100, signifying the 100th episode of Run BTS. The syllables seok (석) and jin (진) are taken from Jin's real name.
  5. ^ Jump up to: a b Korean: 응답하라 방탄 마을, RR: Eungdaphara bangtan ma-eul
    The title of the episode alludes to the 2012-2016 South Korean television franchise Reply which is set in the 1900s.
  6. ^ Jump up to: a b Suga does not appear in this episode as it took place during the recovery period after his shoulder surgery.
  7. ^ They previously discussed potential long-term projects in Episode 125, "Producer Special".
  8. ^ Jump up to: a b The Game Caterers (Korean: 출장 십오야; RR: Chuljang siboya, lit. "Fifteen Nights on a Business Trip") is a variety show produced, directed and hosted by Na Young-seok. It airs on tvN on Fridays at 10:50 pm KST.
