BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) delivered even more powerful laughter as a complete group. Yesterday (23rd) at 9 PM, BTS released the first episode of their self-produced variety show 'Run BTS!' through the group's official YouTube channel and Weverse. The seven members are captured enjoying their vacation together and deepening their friendship, showcasing their unchanged chemistry after gathering as a complete group and a heightened sense of variety. Upon arriving at the accommodation at night, the members entered a 'room selection game.' One by one, they had to choose their rooms relying only on their intuition, leading to a psychological battle among the members. While four members rushed into a two-person room screaming, Jungkook occupied the largest three-person room alone, creating comedic developments that brought great laughter to viewers. After dinner, the 'zombie game' was held, transforming the atmosphere into one reminiscent of a horror movie. The members who became zombies squinted their eyes and awkwardly searched for citizens (the other members), showcasing a different charm from their world-star charisma. In their struggle to catch the citizens in an unpredictable situation, it eventually developed into a battle where they clung to each other and fought over pillows. After the game ended, they showed innocent smiles, saying, 'My jaw hurts from laughing too much.' 'Run BTS!' is a representative self-produced content of BTS that first aired in 2015. After a hiatus following the special content in 2023, it has resumed after about three years. The members' casual and playful daily lives, contrasting with their glamorous stage appearances, are attracting attention.
