“The wait is over, the time is now, so let's do it right.” Finally, after we’ve been waiting for about ten months we got a new episode of Run BTS! We got two episodes titled “Run BTS! 2022 Special Episode - Telepathy Part 1” and “Run BTS! 2022 Special Episode - Telepathy Part 2.” Both episodes are absolutely chaotic and fun.
The concept of these two episodes was for BTS to find out how well they know each other after living together for ten years. In the first segment of the episode, they played We Are One Special where they tested their telepathic skills through different kinds of games. The end goal was for all the members to get the same answer or do the same pose.
In the We Are One Test, Written Section, they needed to write an answer but each member was only allowed to write one letter. They were seated in their own cubicles with a board separating them. Hoseok was in trouble because he couldn’t get the answers correct and the members were furious (in a playful way) because everyone got the answers right, but him. They only got two answers correct.
Then, they moved on to the We Are One Test, Practical Section, where the members must pose the same to given prompts. In this session, Namjoon was the one that almost never synced with the other poses. They were all really chaotic when they had to pose as a puppy that met its owner for the first time in a week. BTS and their pets have the cutest relationships!
On the next challenge, they were all blindfolded and led through the HYBE building - down to the car park level - where each member was assigned to their own car. When they were all seated in their cars they were given a mysterious mission envelope that once again made them have to use telepathy to find each other at the end of the episode. For the next four rounds, the members were given ‘keywords’, and based on that word, they each had to travel (anywhere in Seoul) to the place that they believed represented that keyword the most. The round ended once every member arrived at their chosen destinations. They could not stay in the same destination twice in succession but they could go to another one and come back in the following round. The idea was for all seven members to end up at the same destination point by using their telepathic skills to guess a place that was common to them all.
The keywords given were real fun, salty or mad, memories, and last but not least ARMY.
For real fun, some of the members (Jin, Namjoon, Jimin, and Taehyung) went to their first dorm in Nonhyeon-dong. Yoongi decided to go to Jamwon Han River Park. J-hope chose the Olympic Stadium in Jamsil because he thought that was a real fun place for BTS and ARMY. Last but not least, Jung Kook made up his mind to go to Lotte World and hoped to find another member there.
For salty or mad, some members decided to go to their second dorm. J-hope found himself alone at their first dorm. Suga went to their old practice studio where he happily watched an ARMY taking photos outside the now famous Yoojung Sikdang (유정식당) restaurant where they used to eat. Leaving Lotte World, Jung Kook also decided to go to Nonhyeon-dong where he was finally reunited with his four hyungs.
During this episode, Namjoon and Jimin visited a park nearby where they shared some of their memories from those early days. This included Namjoon’s ice cream story where he was caught eating ice cream with Taehyung during their training days. Panicking, Namjoon put his ice cream in the pocket of his pants to hide it, but it melted afterwards. Even so, he still ate what was left when the staff left.
For the third clue, Jin, Namjoon, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook all set off to the Jamwon Han River park where they used to bike. Based on the keyword, j-hope and Suga (who had joined forces after meeting each other at the previous destination) also chose the same place and it was here that they were finally able to reunite as ‘seven’ once again. After they were together as a group, they recalled the old memories and tough times they had back then during their trainee days.
To finish the episode, they needed to ALL go to the same place that reminded them of ARMY. While talking together, it seemed like they all agreed to go to Jamsil Olympic Stadium where they had so much fun with ARMYs during their concert. However, the episode ended with 6 members doing a video call to the one member who ended up at a different destination. V went to their first showcase venue because, in his memories, this was where the keyword ARMY led him. Even though V was alone, it was fun to watch him trying to build up the courage to interview people on the street and practicing his questions with the hope that he could talk to fans. His shyness got the best of him though.
The episode ended with the members dining together at Leechadol in Hongdae, a restaurant well-known for its brisket. As they ate they also discussed what activities they might like to try for future episodes of Run BTS! Pole dancing, street interviews, yoga flying, and Sepaktakraw (kick volleyball) were just some of the suggestions made. One thing is for certain, no matter how long they've known each other and how chaotic they are, they always cherish those old memories while creating new ones with each other, all the time remembering ARMY.
So, what do you think they will do next? No matter what they choose, as V said in the closing comments: 우리의 달려라 방탄'은 앞으로도 계속됩니다 - “Run BTS will continue running!”
