The boy group BTS's flagship original content, "Run BTS," is returning in a more powerful "2.0" version equipped with even stronger humor.

On the 20th at 9 p.m., BTS released the teaser for the first episode of the newly launched "Run BTS 2.0," titled "BTS's TRIP," on the group's official YouTube channel. Despite its brief duration of about 50 seconds, the video effectively captures the members' authentic daily lives and their bold variety show charm, significantly heightening anticipation for the full episode.

The released video showcases the members' free-spirited daily routines while staying at their accommodation during a trip. Stripping away the "world-class" label for a moment, their demeanor is filled with innocent mischief. Scenes such as hiding under tables as if playing a game or crawling on the floor stir up curiosity. The video also features an intense pillow fight and a competitive foot-volleyball match. Another key viewing point includes the members standing in line with their hands raised, serving as punishment, and then focusing intently on cooking.

First launched in 2015, "Run BTS" received absolute support from ARMY (ARMY, the fandom name) worldwide thanks to the members' strong chemistry and cheerful charm. The 155 regular episodes aired until 2021 recorded a cumulative YouTube view count of approximately 140 million. Subsequently, the 10th special content pieces released in 2022 and 2023 surpassed 130 million views, demonstrating their powerful impact.

The first episode of "Run BTS 2.0" will be released on the 23rd at 9 p.m. on the group's official YouTube channel and the global superfan platform Weverse. The world's attention is focused on the group's surprising moves as they oscillate between overwhelming charisma on stage and cheerful racing in variety shows.

According to the latest Billboard chart preview articles released on the 20th and 21st, BTS reached third place on the main album chart, "Billboard 200" (dated April 25), with their fifth full album "ARIRANG." The title track "SWIM" climbed to 10th place on the main song chart, "Hot 100." On the 25th, 26th, and 28th, they will kick off the North American leg of the "BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'" at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
