People tend to want to share what makes them happy with other people or share their interests with their closest companions. What could make ARMY even happier than watching BTS having fun and being themselves, especially through "Run BTS!"?
Unfortunately, non-ARMY undoubtedly struggle to digest this variety show with some inside jokes only ARMY and BTS understand. There are also a few activities only those who are familiar with K-pop and Korean traditions would appreciate. With that in mind, we have some "Run BTS!" episodes for you to enjoy with, or recommend to, your non-ARMY companions.
EPISODES 7-9
BTS are enjoying outdoor challenges in these episodes and split into two teams. There are paintball fights, treasure hunts, and bungee jumping while answering questions from the opposite team. As it’s one of their earliest episodes, the duration is quite short, perfect for giving your friends and family a taste of BTS’ personality and competitiveness.
EPISODE 23
Are you and your non-ARMY companions animal lovers? This episode is perfect to enjoy some cute interactions between BTS and fur babies, as you and your company unwind after a long day. Each member was paired with different dogs to finish a series of challenges. It’s such an iconic episode as every dog’s personality matched perfectly with the member they’re paired up with.
EPISODE 24
Need something to watch or recommend during Halloween to your non-ARMY company? This "Run BTS!" Zombie episode might be the best choice. Doing a treasure hunt in the mystery house and playing tag with zombies will give you a good laugh as well.
EPISODE 73 – 76
BTS might have some acting lessons for shaping their stage persona, delivering good speeches, and dealing with testy situations. But how about acting for a drama? In these episodes, you and your non-ARMY companion will join the making of a drama and gain insight into BTS’ hidden talents. The whole process and the result make the four long episodes worth the watch.
EPISODES 83 – 85
If you and your non-ARMY buddies want to watch something that doesn’t require much thinking with easy rules, these water episodes might be a good choice for you. BTS spent an afternoon playing water volleyball, and several other water activities, splitting up into two teams (with a little twist at the end). The extra gift exchange session that concludes the episode is perfect to unwind from your continuous laughter and your long day.
EPISODES 100 – 101
In this special 100th Episode of "Run BTS!" the boys played various games introduced in previous episodes with some extra twists and turns. Badminton with unexpected rackets, foot volleyball, and the upgraded paintball battle with laser guns are the games you can look forward to the most.
EPISODE 109
The variety of "Run BTS!" is no joke. They even have an episode where BTS dubbed Disney animation movies. They tackled Lion King, Toy Story, and Zootopia and left their dubbing coach very impressed. It’s a relatively easy episode to watch as their talking is less all over the place. It also gives some sort of nostalgic feeling watching the animations that we grew up with.
EPISODES 126 – 127
Other episodes to enjoy with your non-ARMY initiate are these two episodes, where BTS compete against each other in various physical challenges. A few episodes before, the staff asked the members about activities they would like to try on "Run BTS!," and amongst their answers, these episodes are some of them. They dubbed it “777 Lucky Seven” which means every game depends on their luck. There are 14 games and they can't go home without succeeding in all of them. A little surprise at the end is something worth looking forward to.
EPISODES 140 – 141
These episodes are a special collaboration between BTS and The Game Caterers. The Game Caterers is a variety show by Na Young Seok, a South Korean producer, and director, who is famous for his unique concepts for variety shows. In these episodes, BTS is competing against Na PD and it’s fun to watch as Na PD is less lenient than their original "Run BTS!" producers and directors. You can watch these episodes on BTS’ Weverse and VLive account as usual, with 6 additional episodes on Na PD’s YouTube channel.
We hope our recommendations could help you choose and will help more people to fall in love with BTS. It’s also a pleasant time to look back on "Run BTS!" as it’s on an indefinite hiatus. This will give us all time to catch up or rewatch episodes if and when the new ones drop.
What’s your favorite "Run BTS!" episode from all the above or all the episodes in general? Do you have other recommendations that also work magic on introducing BTS to the non-ARMY? Feel free to share it with us!
