I think i was getting into BTS and i stumble upon this video in Youtube (of course from another channel with eng sub at that time). I remember watching it and laughing, i couldn't understand what was the purpose of what they were doing but kept watching. The part that struck with me the most was Yoongi and Tae singing "New face" by PSY and when they had to act cute in the barbecue. I realized larer that it was the 2nd part of another episode so insted of watching the 1st part, i started watching from the 1st episode. And that's how i found what would be one of my favorite shows.
So i'm curious…What's the first episode you watched of Run BTS ? Is there a story behind or anecdote ? What part struck the most to you ?
I can honestly not remember which episode I watched first so it obviously didn’t strike me enough to leave a lasting impact.
What I remember from the first season the most are the very different facial expressions of the members after they had to drink garlic juice as a punishment.
I’m Haegeun era army, and I got advice on this subreddit (thank you! 💜) to watch Run BTS to learn the members. I searched online for the funniest or favorite episodes to get started and ended up watching episodes 83-85 (the ones at the lake and water park). I remember laughing way more than I thought I would and falling for all of them the way I had already fallen for Yoongi. The show was a gateway for me to enjoy BTS on a deeper level because the members seemed more natural, less polished for the stage, and you can see their bond so clearly. Even before I knew their story, I could also see how hard they were working with those episodes on tour, the airport punishments, etc. to connect with their fans – like it wasn’t just a job, and I developed so much respect for them and their team and the effort they put into making the content. The more you watch and learn their dynamics, even with the staff, the funnier and more entertaining it is. I really hope they continue the show in some form, and I love what Jin has done with it too!
The first ep I watched was YEARS AGO, it was the one where Yoongi cross dressed to Yoonji and the other boys had special roles to try and impress her LMAOO
