BTS Competes in a Pickleball Tournament in New Run BTS 2.0 Episode

BTS plays pickleball in the latest episode of Run BTS 2.0, which was released Sunday.

The seven members traded microphones and choreography for paddles to take part in a series of games that led to a pickleball tournament, featuring trash talk, strategic discussions, and a competitive drive.

The episode opened with a preliminary game before shifting to pickleball, which merges aspects of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. V and j-hope brought prior experience to the court as former hobby players, while the rest of the group practiced serves and learned the rules. Suga received serving tips from the other members while V stood across the court.

The tournament began with RM and Jin (Team Kim-Kim) facing Jimin and Jung Kook (Team Kim Seokjin). The remaining members watched from a nearby bench, providing commentary, celebrations, and reactions to missed shots.

Team Kim Seokjin won the match and advanced to the finale. The other members stepped up to determine who would challenge them, with j-hope competing solo against V and Suga in a matchup the group called impressive.

The participants also discussed playful punishments for the losers alongside bragging rights.

The group gathered at the conclusion of the tournament to reflect on the matches and discussed the possibility of turning the games into a longer-running project.
