Starting to send ARMY into a meltdown, BTS has once again taken over headlines with a teaser dropping on March 30, 2026, at 9 PM KST, hinting at their return to RUN BTS 2.0. Known for turning global superstars into seven chaotic brothers through games, missions, and unpredictable challenges, the show starring RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook has long been a fan-favourite space.
First launched in 2015, it has run over 155 episodes, including specials, and last aired on February 21, 2023, following multiple pauses since Season 3 ended in October 2021. However, with the 2026 premiere date still under wraps, one thing is clear, BTS is fully stepping back into its group era

Marking their first full-group comeback in nearly four years after military service and solo eras, the group’s fifth studio album, 'ARIRANG,' is built around “Koreanness,” a vision led by RM, who recently sparked fan frenzy with his viral moment on The Tonight Show. Speaking about the lead single 'Swim,' co-written by RM, Jin described the track as subtle and quietly captivating, comparing it to Pyongyang Naengmyeon (cold noodle dish), where the more you listen, the more you find yourself pulled into it.
"When I first heard it, it felt mild and quietly captivating, much like Pyongyang Naengmyeon. The more I listened, the more I wanted to 'swim together' with it," Jin told in a Q&A with the media (via The Korea Times).
As BTS gets ready to pull ARMY back into its purple world, the group is not only returning with RUN BTS 2.0 but also building equal excitement around their upcoming 2026 world tour.
