“BTS In the Soop,” a reality show featuring the seven members of BTS taking a break in a remote forest area, is returning for a second season.
Following the first season, which aired in 2020, BTS members ― RM, J-Hope, Suga, Jin, Jungkook, V and Jimin ― will go on a trip together to PyeongChang, Gangwon Province, to enjoy a getaway in a high-end residence built just for them in a woodland area.
According to the unveiled teaser, the house and amenities, including a tennis court, took roughly a year to plan and build, which means the production team had started preparing for the second season while its first season was still being aired.
“To me, it's important to rest because it's time to let my body and mind recover,” Jimin said.
Jin stated, “I like to spend the whole day playing games or doing pointless things.”
“BTS In the Soop 2” will premiere on Oct. 15. It will air on Fridays at 9 p.m. on JTBC and 10 p.m. on Weverse. An extended version of the show is also available for purchase on Weverse.
Meanwhile, BTS will hold the online concert “Permission to Dance on Stage” on Oct. 24. The septet will also hold its first live concerts in two years in Los Angeles. The mini-tour is scheduled for Nov. 27-28 and Dec. 1-2.
