Run Jin: Episode 21 - Variety Show Extravaganza 2

[Trying to mimic the sound of a fax]

Yongjin: "Ramyeon cooker? Water boiler?"

Bongsun: "Airplane?"

Kyunghwan: "Vacuum, vacuum!"

Bongsun: "Combat plane?"

Yingjin: "Vibrate?"

Jin: "I don't know! I've never sent one before, so I don't know!"

Kyunghwan: "I learned about Seokjin's many charms today."

Jin, smiling brightly: "What kind of charms?"

Kyunghwan, patting Jin on the back: "He doesn't know what he's doing."

Okay, but the editors are just getting more and more unhinged with the captions and I am here for it.

Run BTS! 2023 Special Episode — Mini Field Day, Part 2

• Quote of the day: "He broke at farts."
• I have learned one important lesson about slippery soccer: A goal is a goal is a goal. 
• Jimin has a disproportionate amount of foam on his body.
• He's really the star of the show today. 
• Seriously, though, if these were real competitions, I'd be a sports fanatic. 
• Sigh. I'm really going to miss Run BTS!. But I will wait patiently for its return, no matter how long that may be.

Run BTS! 2023 Special Episode — Mini Field Day, Part 1

Hobi: "Okay! We have the brackets right here. You just need to pick [numbers] for the brackets."

[While picking numbers]

Hobi: "Please. Let's just avoid Jungkook."

[After all the members have picked their numbers]

Hobi, looking at the board: "Oh, but the brackets came out really well!"

Jin, who got Jungkook as an opponent: "You would say that it came out well. Because you didn't get Jungkook."

GOD, I LOVE BTS FIELD DAY.

Run BTS! 2023: Special Episode — Next Top Genius, Part 2

"Those who have nothing to lose are the scariest."

Ah, wise words from Yoongi as always.

Run BTS! 2023: Special Episode — Next Top Genius, Part 1

Okay, Jimin cry-dancing with electronic cat ears on is something I never knew I needed. 😂😂😂

Run BTS! 2022: Special Episode — "RUN BTS TV" On-Air, Part 2

The most relatable: "Jungkook is typing 'LOL' while frowning."

The most relatable if I was rich: "[V donated $5,045,000 because you ate the slice very deliciously]"

The most surprising: How riveted I am by watching a flamingo poop.

Conclusion: Any member of BTS could easily become a YouTuber and become one of the most subscribed channels on the platform. I'm just not sure who's funnier: BTS as YouTubers or BTS as YouTube commenters.

Run BTS! 2022: Special Episode — "RUN BTS TV" On-Air, Part 1

I AM CRYING LAUGHING. 😂😂😂

Truly, no one roasts BTS better than BTS. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Run BTS! 2022: Special Episode — Fly BTS Fly, Part 2

[Tae completes the "not hard but tiring" pose]

Tae: "Did you film me?! YOU DIDN'T? Seriously?!"

[Jungkook doing sit-ups in the air, Jimin climbing his hammock with just his arms]

Yoongi: "I don't think you guys are in your right mind."

Jin: "You're doing real workouts."

[Introducing the photographer who will take their flying yoga poses]

Yoongi: "Please take it so that it looks like we're good at it."

Jungkook: "Please Photoshop it and stretch us out."

[Jungkook trying really hard to do his flying yoga pose, his whole body shaking]

Yoongi, laughing: "Face! Face!"

Tae, also laughing: "Expression! Expression!"

BTS, all laughing: "Face! Expression!"

[Jungkook changes his grimace into a smile while his photo is being taken]

BTS: [dying of laughter]

Namjoon: "Hey, that's practically torture."

[Instructor doing a demonstration]

Yoongi: "The teacher's big muscles aren't there for no reason."

[Plays Jungkook and Jimin's majestic couple pose in slow motion, playing classical music in the background]

[Caption: We will add minimal subtitles so that it doesn't bother you when watching.]

I just laughed so hard throughout this episode that I'm pretty sure all my neighbours heard me...

Run BTS! 2022: Special Episode — Fly BTS Fly, Part 1

[Instructor does a flip in his hammock]

Namjoon: "Wow, my head would have cracked just now."

[BTS all eyeing the instructor's ultra-muscular body]

Yoongi: "But did you make that body with flying yoga?"

Instructor: "Um..."

Jin: "He probably works out, right?"

Namjoon: "What if he pumps a lot of weights at home?"

Instructor: "Flying yoga works out the entire body, so..."

Namjoon: "So those are muscles that were made in action."

[Jungkook swinging faster and faster on his hammock on his stomach]

Jungkook: "Wheeeeee!"

BTS: [dying of laughter]

Jimin, to the instructor: "I apologize."

Instructor: "Oh, it's fine."

Yoongi: "Hey! Be sincere about this! Be sincere!"

[Starting the warm-up]

Hobi: "Wooow, I can't do this right now!"

Tae: "Oh... I don't think I can do this...?"

Namjoon: "I think I'm going to die. It's already hard!"

Instructor: "And from there, we're going to pull our toes in and push our heels out."

BTS, except Jimin: "Aaaaahhhhhhhh!"

Instructor: "Now, we're going to point the toes and stretch out the top of our feet."

Hobi: "Oh god, I think my legs are going to cramp."

Instructor: "Without your back collapsing, pull in your toes again and then point them out again."

Jimin: [totally at peace]

Yoongi: "Aside from Jimin right now..."

Jungkook: "Oh, Jimin would be good at this."

Hobi: "Right, none of us can do this except for Jimin."

[Starting the first exercise]

Hobi: "No wonder they told us not to eat. I feel like vomiting. I drank coffee and it's about to come up!"

[Instructor teaches them a position that requires a 180-degree leg split]

Namjoon: [gasps]

Jungkook: "Uh, wait a minute!"

Yoongi: "We can't even do that on the ground!"

BTS doing flying yoga (or, you know, attempting to) is something I never knew I needed.

Run BTS! 2022: Special Episode — Fly BTS Fly, Part 0

Well, I, for one, cannot wait to watch BTS act like bats.

God, I have really missed Run BTS!. BRING BACK WEEKLY EPISODES! 😭

Run BTS! 2022: Special Episode — Telepathy, Part 2

[A surprise discussion topic: What should we do now?]

Namjoon: "I think, instead of keeping things too broad, we should just focus on what we want to do next."

Hobi: "Are there anymore new things to try?"

Jimin: "We've done this show for a really long time and tried all sorts of segments."

Namjoon: "I do have an idea."

Hobi: "What is it?"

Namjoon: "Getting middle-aged men just from around the neighbourhood and playing 7-on-7 foot volleyball."

Jungkook: "Hyung, let's go learn sepak takraw!"

Namjoon: "Take serious sepak takraw lessons."

Jin: "How about farming?"

Yoongi: "Do you want to time laps? Racing?"

Taehyung: "Should we start eating first?"

Namjoon: "Sure. We can't think right now because we haven't eaten yet."

Taehyung: "No, I don't think my brain could think even if we ate."

Okay, this Telepathy game was so cute and endearing. Kudos to the Run BTS! production team for thinking of this idea and for having the balls to actually execute it. 

And also, I've never tried grilled brisket on sushi rice with wasabi and I think this has to be in my life ASAP.

Run BTS! 2022: Special Episode — Telepathy, Part 1

Jungkook: "If I remember correctly, we were absolutely terrible at this."

[Prompt: Someone who dropped their phone on their face while lying down in bed.]

Yoongi: "I have a question, though. If the seven of us drop our phones on our faces but turn to different sides, are we not considered one?"

Jimin, knocking on his partition: "Onto the next prompt!"

Namjoon: "CUT!"

[Prompt: A puppy that's met is owner for the first time in a week.]

Jimin, laughing: "I feel like Hobi is going to nail this!"

Yoongi: "This requires understanding a dog's emotions, too?"

Jimin: "I can do a spot-on impression of this."

Director: "1, 2, 3!"

BTS: [All different poses]

Hobi: "Real dogs don't go panting." [starts squealing]

Jin: "Yes, they go like that!"

Yoongi, reaching upwards: "Holly just keeps going like this."

[Jungkook starts shuffling and breathing heavily]

Jimin: "Yes, that's what Bam does!"

Yoongi: "This all depends on the dog."

Tae: "Tan doesn't even do that."

Namjoon: "... My dog isn't all that happy to see me."

[Prompt: You made a mistake while dancing and made eye contact with J-Hope.]

BTS: [All make the same guilty face while pursing their lips.]

Jin: "Yes, your mouth would go like that."

Jungkook, pursing his lips: "Isn't it this?"

Yoongi: "It's exactly that."

Jimin, looking around: "We all got this one."

Yoongi: "Because we have experience."

Jimin: "Each one of us has experienced this before."

Namjoon: "Everyone's experienced this for sure."

Jin: "I guess everyone looks at J-Hope when we mistakes while dancing."

Jungkook: "It's a natural reaction."

WELCOME BACK, RUN BTS! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I MISSED YOU. (And it's now on YouTube, too!)

Run BTS!: Episode 155

Jungkook: "Jimin, go home, look in the mirror, grab your right butt, and pull it up. And see if the left butt follows."

I am really going to miss the nonsense and shenanigans. The show is going on a hiatus, likely to give space for BTS In the Soop 2 to air, as well as time for the rehearsals and preparations for the Permission to Dance: On Stage online concert as well as their LA concerts, and then all the end-of-year award shows, possibly even a new single... But it's bittersweet because for four years, Run BTS! has that one thing that I look forward to every week to cheer me up. I'll just have to keep watching re-runs until it comes back, hopefully by early next year. 🤞🏼

Also, WE HAVE ONE BUTT AND TWO BUTT CHEEKS. THIS IS NOT EVEN UP FOR DEBATE.

Run BTS!: Episode 154

Hobi: "Let's release a song named 'Garlic.' We have 'Butter,' after all."

Jungkook: "I can eat endlessly because it's early in the day."

Jin: "You can eat endlessly even in the evening."

Jimin: "Remember the time Jin, Hobi, and I did an escape room?"

Jin: "Ohh, the scary one. We couldn't even start."

Hobi: "For real."

Jimin: "We called right away and asked if they could turn the lights on."

Jin: "We couldn't do anything for five minutes straight. We were just hugging each other for five minutes."

Jin, introducing Hobi's Run BTS! highlight moment: "J-Hope, this is a huge surprise."

Hobi: "It's probably a moment where I got scared, or fell, or something."

Jin: "No, J-Hope. It's a cool moment."

Hobi: "Really? Did I ever have a moment when I looked cool on Run BTS!?"

Man, there are just too many good episodes of Run BTS!. I've literally re-watched all of them at least six times through. But if I had to pick favourites, they'd be the Zombie vs. BTS episode (Ep. 24) and the Toronto episodes (Ep. 69 - 71). But I also really love the Manito episodes (Ep. 33 - 34). And the BTS Gayo is Back! episodes (Ep. 90 - 91). And Mini Golden Bell 2 episode (Ep. 92). And King of Avatar Cooking episodes (Ep. 102 - 103). Also the 50th Episode Special. And the 100th Episode Special.  And the Satisfaction of 5 Senses episodes (Ep. 43 - 44). And the Welcome to Your First MT episodes (Ep. 27 - 28). And wow, now I remember why I couldn't complete the Run BTS! episode survey.

Run BTS!: Episode 153

"BTS sang a BTS song and got an 86?!"

Man, karaoke machines are fucking ruthless.

(But also, Yoongi is, like, extra cute in this episode and I just wanna squish him.)

Run BTS!: Episode 152

Okay, but the most shocking thing here is that they know what Captain Planet is because I swear when I watched this cartoon, these kids weren't even born yet...

Run BTS!: Episode 151

Jin, out of nowhere: "Hey, doesn't your face feel dry after talking so much?"

Jungkook: "I already sprayed the mist on."

Yoongi: "Everyone did except for you."

Jin: "We can't all use it at once. We need to take turns with some time in between."

Namjoon: "Alright, Jin. Let's go again. Cue!"

Jin: "Guys! Doesn't your face feel dry after talking so much?"

BTS: "Oh, yes. It feels dry. You're right."

Jin: "I knew that would happen, so I've put a bottle of face mist in everyone's rooms!"

Hobi: "Okay, Jin!"

BTS, holding up their spray bottles: "Kombucha face mist! Cheers!"

Namjoon: "What are we toasting for?"

[BTS spraying kombucha face mist all over]

[Caption: Join us and use Kombucha Gyeol-Biome Mist! (This is why BTS is the top preferred models for advertisements.)]

Jungkook: "I think I can smell the kombucha."

Namjoon: "It smells so nice."

Tae: "Look! This also improves wrinkles! It's got two purposes! Jin, you're at the age where you need this!"

Jin: "Hey! Count Yoongi in, too, then!"

Tae: "You're in your 30s now!"

Yoongi, smirking: "I'm still in my 20s."

WOW, THE SHADE. I feel personally attacked.

Hobi: "Jungkook, has your food arrived?"

Jungkook: "Just my ramyeon."

Hobi: "Lucky you."

Jungkook, holding up the cup ramyeon to the camera: "YEAAAAHH! The cup ramyeon came the quickest!"

Yoongi: "Do you really have to eat cup ramyeon here at the Josun Palace Hotel?"

Jungkook: "What are you talking about? This is my appetizer!"

[Silence as everyone is drooling over Jungkook's noodles]

Hobi: "Okay, JK! Wait for me!"

Tae: "Alright! Off to Jungkook's suite!"

Jungkook: "Don't come here!"

Jungkook, eating ramyeon: "I'm so happy right now."

Jungkook, eating Jjapaguri with short ribs: "This is amazing! Flour is the best! I could live a happy life as long as I had flour or meat." *taking a massive bite* "MMMM!!!! Thank you!"

Jungkook, with a cheeseburger next to him and a pizza just arriving in his room: "I feel like I'm really on a hotel staycation! I didn't even do anything! Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink!"

Jungkook, picking up his pizza: "YEAAAHHHH! This is what I'm talking about!"

Jungkook is my spirit animal. 

PD: "Everyone!"

BTS: "Yes?"

PD: "You get 7,000,000 won if you guess the budget correctly."

Namjoon: "But how can we guess that?"

Hobi: "What number is related to Run BTS!?"

Yoongi: "To be honest, I don't really care."

Jimin: *laughing*

Namjoon: "I want to get it, but I don't have a clue."

Yoongi: "Did you think you could buy us with money?!"

I LOVE THIS EPISODE.

Run BTS!: Episode 150

[Complete the idiom game]

PD: "'Even dog poop...'"

Yoongi: "Suga! I went first! 'Is useful.'"

Jin: "Jin! I was faster!"

Yoongi: "They say even dog poop can be useful!"

Jungkook, quietly in the background: "I thought it was, 'Even dog poop squirms when stepped on.'"

Jin: "'Even dog poop is rare in times of need.'"

PD: "Correct!"

Yoongi, sighing: "Am I having an off day today?"

Jimin: "Jimin! Someone said, 'Even dog poop squirms when stepped on'!"

Jungkook: "Dog poop does squirm when it's fresh!" *mimics stepping on dog poop*

Jin: "Yes, it'd squirm if you stepped on it."

Yoongi: "If it's still warm."

Namjoon: "It's toasty when fresh."

Namjoon: "Isn't it, 'Ruin some good porridge with snot'?"

Jin: "Yes, it is."

Namjoon: "You know, to drop snot into your porridge."

Tae: "Ah, because you're sick."

Yoongi: "Hey, you can eat a little bit of snot! Come on! It's no big deal. Just eat it!"

Jin: "I'll give you an okay one. 'The bull backs up…'"

Jimin: "And kicks, then it's ridiculously painful, everyone."

This BTS "staycation" is going to be totally bak bak.

Run BTS!: Episode 149

THIS WHOLE EPISODE IS BRINGING BACK TOO MANY IKEA BOOKSHELF BUILDING FLASHBACKS.

Jin: "Ah, Namjoon!"

Namjoon: "What's wrong?"

Jin: "I mixed up the bottom and middle shelves!"

Yoongi, from the other side of the room: "You can't undo that with Ikea furniture."

Namjoon: "There's always someone who does that."

Jin: "Namjoon!"

Namjoon: "Yeah?"

Jin: "I don't think I assembled this correctly!"

Namjoon: "You have to pay close attention the directions, seriously."

Jin, whining: "It's telling me to put this in a hole when there is no hole!"

Namjoon: "Wow. This is a disaster."

Hobi: "I'm done painting!"

Namjoon, not even looking: "You're done painting? Great job!"

Hobi: "Yep."

Yoongi, looking over: "Your paint! It kinda looks like an abstract painting."

Hobi: "This leaves us with no choice. Let's just make an artistic room."

[Hobi walks over to the other team's room]

Hobi, laughing: "Come and check out our room!"

Jimin: "Wow... This is... It looks like the room of the boss monster in a dungeon in a video game."

Jimin: "I feel like there are many people who want to do something like this when they get their own places... but you need to keep this in mind. You can't place as many pieces of furniture as you think you can in a room."

Jimin, you speak the cold, hard truth. (Another flashback of bringing my single couch to store at my mom's because I make the rookie mistake of buying my furniture before I moved into my condo.)

Anyway, Team Suga's room won by a landslide for me, personally. 

Run BTS!: Episode 148

PD: "Frames molded onto a painted wall- "

Yoongi: "Suga! Wainscoting."

[silence]

Namjoon: "What?"

PD: "Correct."

Jimin: "ALRIGHT!!!"

Namjoon: "What was it again?"

Yoongi: "I knew it was wainscoting as soon as I heard 'frames on a wall.'"

Jin: "I just heard 'walls'!"

Namjoon: "What-scoting?"

Jungkook: "Welsh Corgi?"

Okay, but I'm oddly attracted to interior design nerds now? 

And also, this episode is bringing me so many flashbacks of building furniture for my apartment last year. Like, WHERE WERE THESE BOYS WHEN I NEEDED THE HELP?
