Run BTS! episode 61 brings the Bangtan boys to a traditional Korean sauna where they’ll play a series of games to avoid a penalty!
‘Run BTS!’ episode 61 recap:
The highly anticipated sauna episodes have arrived to Run BTS! 2019! All the members have gathered at the sauna to play three games in two separate groups. Whichever team loses will have to face a penalty of getting doused with water at the end!
First things first, they decide their groups by picking pieces of paper. They’re grouped into team A of Hoseok, Taehyung, Jungkook and Namjoon against team B of Jimin, Yoongi, and Jin.
They also get the chance to name their teams and team A sticks with that as their name. While Jimin, Yoongi, and Jin decide to call themselves Team Seokjin, because of course.
In the first game, flavor vs. flavor, they play a finger flicking game to decide who gets to pick from two snacks that look the same but don’t taste the same. One is yummy while the other is gross. The points are given to the person that gets the yummy snack.
Jimin and Hoseok are the first to go, and Jimin gets to decide which snack he wants to try. They’re given drinks that Jimin guesses have had salt added by the way one is frothy. He’s proven right when Hoseok can’t even swallow his and has to spit it out, making everyone crack up.
Taehyung and Yoongi are next, and Taehyung wins the right to pick which egg he wants to try. But he picks the wrong egg and it drips all over his towel covered head when he tries to crack it there. This gives Yoongi the point even though he didn’t win the flick!
Namjoon and Jin are third to try, and Jin proves that his fingers are super weak. Namjoon gets to choose between the two tea drinks but he makes the wrong decision and ends up with the super bitter one.
Jin might not have strong fingers but he wins this one anyways. And Yoongi hilariously tells off Namjoon for saying he’s a root tea expert but making the wrong choice.
In the fourth round, it’s Jungkook against Jimin. This time Jimin falls short and so Jungkook chooses the drink he wants, but Jimin still ends up getting the good drink and so he gets the point.
They decide to do an extra round with Jungkook against Jimin again. This time though they play with their pinky fingers instead or their forefingers. Even though Jimin has the smallest pinkies of the group, he wins and picks the drinks. For the first time, Jimin gets the penalty snack!
At the end of the first game, Team Seokjin is in the lead!
Onto the next game, the boys are playing a quiz game where they have to answer what newly coined words mean in order to leave the dry sauna (which is extremely hot)!
In the first round, Jin and Namjoon start off the game. Somehow Jin gets the first one right like immediately which I can’t even process.
Jimin goes in next to go against Namjoon, and it’s not really surprising that Namjoon wins this round pretty fast. Jungkook goes in next, and then the two young members are confused for quite some time. They have to get some hints before Jungkook is able to get the answer.
Meanwhile, Jin and Namjoon tried to explain the game to the others who mostly just looked confused as hell. Don’t worry guys, so am I.
Poor mochi is still stuck inside as Hoseok comes in next to go against him. Jimin even shows off how sweaty he’s becoming sitting in the dry sauna for so long. The others worry that they’ll be stuck inside forever.
On next week’s episode of Run BTS! the sauna games will continue!
