BTS, including V, does different challenges for ā€˜RUN BTSā€™

RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are talented singers and dancers. With the series RUN BTS, though, these performers have a chance to show off their other talents.

On this web show, the members competed in a variety of challenges, from playing tennis to cooking to doing voiceovers for Disney animated movies. In true RUN BTS fashion, Episode 128 featured most of the members, as Suga was still recovering from his shoulder surgery at the time.

This episode was full of indoor challenges, perfect for fans who are ā€œsocial distancingā€™ during this time. That included an egg smashing game and a kazoo performance from each of the members.Ā

The BTS members played ā€˜red light, green lightā€™ for ā€˜RUN BTSā€™

Additionally, the members played a version of ā€œred light, green lightā€ while seated on cushions. Whoever grabbed the picture of Suga without being seen, won. While most of the members scooted forward on their cushions, it was Vā€™s idea to start going backward.Ā 

He jolted forward faster than the other members. When Jin was ā€œit,ā€ he noticed V moving quickly and got close to his face. As a result, V kissed Jin. It made him out because he moved his lips, but it definitely got the other members laughing.Ā 

For one of the final rounds, instead of sitting on the cushion upright, V laid on his back, moving even faster than before. V snatched the picture of Suga, with the remaining members bursting out laughing.

V wrote music for BTSā€™ album, ā€˜Be (Deluxe Edition)ā€™

This singerā€™s creativity comes in handy when it comes to songwriting, especially for those off of Be (Deluxe Edition.) That includes ā€œBlue & Grey,ā€ which the group performed for the first time during their MTV Unplugged segment.Ā 

ā€œI tried to express my inner sadness and uncertainty, so I translated the feeling of burning out as ā€˜blueā€™ and the sadness of not being able to see ARMY as ā€˜grey,ā€™ V said, according to a translation on the video. The melody of the song is simple so I paid closer attention to delivering emotions through the lyrics.ā€

The ā€œLife Goes Onā€ music video by BTS is now available for streaming on YouTube. The K-pop groupā€™s deluxe album, titled Be, is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and most major streaming platforms.
