OK, But Seriously, What We've Heard Of The Song So Far....this Sounds Like It Could Have Been A Clip

OK, but seriously, what we've heard of the song so far....this sounds like it could have been a clip from an N'Sync song. Is it just me?? Anyone else hear it?

...maybe I've just seen too many clips of ppl hoping for the reunion but this sound is very FAMILIAR...

Run BTS: 004 | 30 Second Mission

Original Air Date: 15 SEPT 2015 Episode Length: 10:50 Total Parts: 1 YouTube English Subtitles: Yes Title Song: Dope

Synopsis: Mini-Games at a pool!

Production: The games were explained well but quality sound at a pool is always rough and they definitely hadn't figured it out yet. Respect for tackling it early though!

Endearment: The guys are starting to show their repor with the staff and figuring out how they can be rewarded for it.

Winner: JM

Loser: JN

Best Cheater: Staff (seriously! Handing out the punishment juice and then only making one of them drink it!)

Member Moments:

RM: The God of Destruction must have taken the day off. RM performed quite well!

JN: Poor Jin got dunked the worst when he was pushed in. Like a cute-downed worldwide handsome... and then he drowned himself after the crane game.

YG: Yoongi was almost going to be the best cheater but they didn't let him get away with his torn paper crane trick. Nice try though!

JH: Cutest dive in front of a no diving sign ever!

JM: JM pushing RM into the pool is one of my favorite moments. he's just so darn cute when he's mischievous!

V: V's bottle trick with the cola was so cool.

JK: Not much screen time for Kookie. He tried to copy V's cola trick but his was too bubbly.

Ok... but does someone need to help break JK from a curse or something? Not EVERY song he releases has to have numeric handsigns. I smell some witchcraft afoot... is there some ritual we need to perform to release him from this constraint??

QUICK COMBO: FACE-OFF | PROMISE | LETTER

Okay, look... I really wanted to try to continue with my birthday post trend of different categories of songs for the member (like favorite cover, favorite collab, etc.) but I absolutely cannot ignore this fact:

That is my LIFETIME Top Spotify tracks. And the only reason Letter isn't occupying the top spot is because it's not on Spotify officially. So we are not going to fight against the universe and just organize these three songs into an order that somewhat makes sense and pray I survive whatever else Jimin has in store for me.

Happy Birthday Park Jimin. I'm so grateful to have the gift of your music.

(But if there's any good in this world please put Letter on Spotify so that I can give it a tiny portion of proper worship.)

Run BTS: 009 | Silmido part 3 Bungee

Original Air Date: 22 DEC 2015 Episode Length: 15:57 Total Parts: 4 YouTube English Subtitles: Yes Title Song: Dope

Synopsis: Still at the outdoor park, about to do a bungee jump but they have a team-based game.

Production: Straightforward concept but it's unfortunate they did it so late in the day and lost the sunlight. I wonder if there were unforeseen delays or just not enough time allocated in the first place.

Endearment: So endeared! rooting for all of them!

Winner/Loser: see final part

Best Cheater: none
