BTS has released a teaser for the new season of their self-produced variety show, "Run BTS!"

On September 30, BANGTANTV uploaded a teaser video for the "Run BTS! Toronto Edition." In the video, the members are seen sitting in a circle at a park, talking about playing games they used to enjoy on picnics, followed by clips of them running and playing "Red Light, Green Light." Afterward, the members playfully banter, debating whether it is better to be the person spraying water or the one getting hit as a penalty.

The latter part of the video features footage of a pickleball match, showing the members exchanging rallies. Previously, the BTS members, who are currently on a world tour, shared that they have recently become deeply hooked on pickleball.

This season will be released under the title "Run BTS 2.0," with the first episode airing at 8:00 PM (KST) on October 6 and the second episode on October 11.

"Run BTS" is a self-produced variety show launched in 2015 where the members take on various games and missions. From 2015 to 2021, a total of 155 episodes were released, recording 140 million cumulative views. After going without new episodes for a period, the show resumed after three years, sparked by the group topping the Billboard album and single charts last April with their new album "Arirang" and new song "Swim."
