Between TV and the web, there definitely isn’t a shortage of content when it comes to BTS, but several programs in their roster have become bona fide fan-favorites over the years. “RUN BTS” is arguably the most beloved of the programs, with many YouTube compilations being dedicated to its meme-worthy moments. The variety show, which began in 2015, features the boys playing games, going on adventures, and indulging in light but committed cosplay. As of this writing, there are nearly 160 episodes of the show, which became available on the group’s YouTube channel with English subtitles for the first time in January 2023.
Other shows like “BTS: Bon Voyage” — which began in 2016 — focus on the band’s travels and their camaraderie with one another. The series has logged four seasons across locations including Sweden and Finland, Hawaii, Malta, and New Zealand. There’s even a show dedicated to BTS’ staycations called “BTS In the SOOP,” which premiered in 2020. The wholesome show features the members embarking on a secluded staycation in the Korean wilderness together, where they amuse themselves and unwind with day-to-day activities. Seeing the idols painting, cooking, and exercising together became a source of serotonin for the homebound A.R.M.Y. during the pandemic.
