## Synopsis

Run BTS! (2015-present) is a South Korean variety web series created for fans of the group and distributed across V LIVE, YouTube and Weverse. Its principal cast is the seven members of BTS, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook, who appear as themselves in every episode and carry the show through games, missions and staged challenges. Guest appearances from a handful of outside personalities, including Paik Jong-won, Nah Yung-suk and Lee Sang-hyeok, add occasional variety to the roster. The engine of the series is simple: the members set out to complete a task, a challenge or a game, and the comedy comes from their rivalries, mishaps and affectionate teasing as they try to win. Episodes run around thirty minutes and the show has grown across eight seasons and roughly 175 episodes, with its format shifting in length from short runs to long seasons. Its tone is breezy, warm and playful, with a sincere undertone of friendship that long-time fans find cozy and reassuring. Viewers who enjoy the variety tradition of Running Man and Infinite Challenge will find a similar blend of games and group chemistry, while the intimate, fan-oriented production makes it a distinct and easy-to-dip-into experience for devoted listeners and curious newcomers alike.
