To wrap up 2021 and season one of  Run BTS! season one, we do a deep dive into one of BTS and our favourite topics: MBTI (Myers-Briggs personality test). Join us and listen along to see which MBTI you are (approximately) and why we think BTS makes the dream team based on their MBTI personality traits. We will be back next year with more episodes, but for ARMY psychology enthusiasts here are the links we mentioned in the episode:

In the tenth and final episode of Run BTS! season one, we discover there’s been a secret spy doing missions throughout the whole “Silmido Special”! Everyone seems to think it’s V, but are they right? We also see their end of filming feast and Suga and J-Hope face their punishments from Episode 8…but Jimin comes to the rescue! And, as always, we name our stars of the week!

The ninth episode of Run BTS!, “EP.9 [Bungee Jumping]” continues the “Silmido Special” fall picnic series from Episode 7. This time, BTS are testing their bravery by...BUNGEE JUMPING. As they are still in the HYYH part 2 and Run comeback in the BTS timeline, we keep this short and sweet. Tune in to find out whether Polly or Katie are the J-Hope or JK of bungee jumping! 

The eighth episode of Run BTS!, “EP.8 [Treasure Hunt]” continues the “Silmido Special” fall picnic series from Episode 7. This time, BTS are laying it all on the line to find hidden flags to trade for snacks. We also dive into some BTS history to discuss the HYYH part 2 and Run comeback that happened right before this episode aired. And, as always, we name our stars of the week!

The seventh episode of Run BTS!, “EP.7 [Survival]” finds our seven guys travelling to Gangwon-do, Inje for a “Silmido Special.” What we get are 10 minutes of paintball carnage as they split into two teams and try to take the enemy camp. We’ll take you through the action, name our stars of the week, and explain the Silmido reference.

The sixth episode of Run BTS! “EP.6 [Confession]” was split into two parts, so we cover them together. In these episodes, BTS tries their hand at acting and role play as confessors admitting their deepest darkest sins to “priests” Jimin and Suga. With everything from naked encounters to toothbrushes dropped in toilets...they definitely went there! And, as always - we name our stars of the week!

The fifth episode of Run BTS!, “EP.5 [Happy Chuseok: 100 Second Sports Day]” aired during Chuseok 2015. In this week’s episode, we dive into Chuseok and how BTS usually marks the holiday. We also break down the action in this week’s episode, which found BTS members playing Korean traditional games and celebrating their win against staff like they won the World Cup. And, as always - we name our stars of the week!

The fourth episode of Run BTS!, “EP.4 [30 second gate]” finds BTS fighting it out in a pool for the first time on Run BTS! Each challenge ends with the threat of a shot of potent garlic juice and we see Slytherin energy emerge for the first time as they push each other into the pool.  We’ll take you through the action and name our stars of the week and also dive into BTS’s early appearances in commercials.

The third episode of Run BTS! is aptly titled “EP.3 [Theme Park]” and in it we travel with BTS to a theme park outside of Chicago. Although it’s not the most traditional Run BTS! format, we get some iconic moments like an emoticon for human rights over J-Hope’s terrified face. As always, we’ll take you through all the action, dive into what BTS were up to at this point in time (Hint: BTS Live Trilogy Episode II: The Red Bullet) and name our stars of the week.

In the second episode of Run BTS! “EP.2 [The Greatest Man]” we finally get to see BTS dive into some classic variety show action. We start off with a deep dive into the iconic Run BTS! opening sequence and then jump into the content of the episode. The premise this week is to explore the characteristics that make a man “great”, from patience all the way to...biggest lips? We’ll take you through the action and name our stars of the week.
