BTS‘s show Run BTS! used to be uploaded to Weverse and VLIVE, before HYBE acquired VLIVE in 2022. Each app had its own team of translators, and sometimes the subtitles were wildly different.
Suga | Run BTS!
1. Snacks or Apollo?
VLIVE was in love with mythology…
RM | Run BTS!
…but Weverse was in love with a fridge.
| Run BTS!
2. Jin’s financial plans
When Jin joked about selling BTS’s gold appreciation plaques, VLIVE translated it to this:
| Run BTS!
Weverse, on the other hand, decided that Jin’s hypothetical “hard times” involved bankruptcy.
| Run BTS!
3. He’s trying to do what?
Only Suga the Genius can go from playing the hero…
| Run BTS!
…to manipulating the masses!
| Run BTS!
4. Suga vs Min-Meow
VLIVE expressed Suga’s frustration mildly…
| Run BTS!
…but Weverse revealed how Min-Meow really felt about the situation!
| Run BTS!
5. When ARMY got called out
The editors knew exactly what viewers were thinking during Jungkook‘s badminton practice…
| Run BTS!
…but did they have to say it like this?
| Run BTS!
6. Jimin isn’t…what?
Somehow, Jimin went from not being BTS’s “representative”…
| Run BTS!
…to not being their boss!
| Run BTS!
7. SOPE stans for life
One app’s team might have a not-so-secret SOPE agenda…
| Run BTS!
…can you guess which one?
| Run BTS!
8. That time Jungkook went from zero to a hundred
“Shall we talk together outside?” and “Want to take this outside?” give off two completely different vibes. One is polite and chill, the other is savage AF.
| Run BTS! | Run BTS!
9. BigHit, please close the gyms?
This general compliment…
| Run BTS!
…got much more specific, real quick!
| Run BTS!
10. Suga’s inner goat
VLIVE attempted a literal translation.
| Run BTS!
Weverse said, forget that!
| Run BTS!
11. Strong opinions about peas
The people will curse at peas.
| Run BTS!
No, they will rage!
| Run BTS!
12. Soulmates
Yes, they do click, but…
| Run BTS!
…that’s because they’re soulmates?
| Run BTS!
