BTS SHOWS WHAT ORDER?

Hi Anthony If you want to do it in order then you should start with rookie king, then BTS GAYO these are both variety shows that are similar to BTS RUN but they are before BTS RUN. Run episodes you can watch on weverse for free bts gayo and bts run you can watch on vlive as well for free. if we are looking for documentaries then i suggest starting with burn the stage docu series and movie that you can watch on YOUTUBE with youtube premieme. once thats finished you can watch bring the soul (also has a commentary video of the guys watching it and looking back on that time) which is the next docu series and then the last which is break the silence (also has a commentary video as well) the last two series tho are paid content that you have to buy on weverse. If want to get to know the guys and how they started you can watch American Hustle LIfe its on daily motion if you just look it up. BUT WARNING American Hustle Life alot of ARMY dont like it, i personally dont mind it myself as im a hip hop head and found it super interesting to see where BTS'S hip hop journey started but so many cringey moments and alot of streo types too but if we get past that you can really see how it shaped them as artist. Now the most popular shows Personally i would start with BON VOYAGE just cause you can see them grow and how they muture. Bon Voyage has 4 seasons and its them during their time off but its a series so we get to see what them do missions and stuff but they are on their own so they dont have their managers and stuff with them and they have to learn everything on their own its great to see them exprienceing everyday things and learning. Then watch in the soop which was released in 2020 and the new season is about to drop in OCT this year. The first 3seasons of Bon Voyage are on Vlive paid content the last season is on weverse paid content as well. In the soop is also on weverse paid content. Sorry for the long comment 😅

It woud be better to start with the rise of bangtan, bring the soul and break the silence, you will know more about their work, their music, their journey ! And after Bon voyage and in the soop to discover more about how they are together ! FESTA is the best thing if you want to sing, to laugh and to cry, and if you are ready to really know how they really are and to laugh go for RUN BTS (good luck with the 155 episodes x))

I totally agree with you!

To understand where they came from, the hardships they’ve been through, their individual stories, It would be best to start with The Rise of Bangtan. I promise you, it’s worth every millisecond.

In the soop and run

I would probably watch In the Soop first, since there's only one season out right now. Than watch Season 2 when it drops. Than Bon Voyage seasons 1-2, because there's a lot of Run to watch.

Miranda

Late to the question but I would love to see you react to Bon Voyage. Maybe start with In The Soop as it is so recent and a season 2 starts soon of you liked it. But bon Voyage seems interesting in the history of BTS. The Burn the Stage and other docu series are really interesting to. But In The Soop/Bon Voyage are really for chilling. Run BTS for fun. All very good in the end ;-)

Honestly I'd say Rise of Bangtan because it not only gives us newer ARMY the closest experience of seeing BTS from predebut up to the present, but it gives you necessary background/context about the kpop industry in general that helps you understand just WHY they're so different. Run BTS is just straight fun & (with the exception of a few multi-part episodes) doesn't necessarily have to be watched in order to be understood. In the Soop is basically the guys glamping. It's hilarious & healing at the same time & I'd recommend it if you want something devoid of stress. The docu-series are the nitty-gritty of life on the road & show the good, the bad, & everything in between. Bon Voyage (at least season 1) is let's watch BTS try not to lose their stuff abroad 😅 (I'm just finishing up season 1 & it's so much fun but also anxiety inducing 😂💜)

ChiariPTCSongbird

I think In the Soop is a good opportunity to see their personalities in a Semi-Professional setting. Bon Voyage is the same.

You should also consider reacting to the documentary Burn the Stage and its docu series, that was the first of their documentaries!

Run BTS is ongoing so it'll be good to start on that but if you have the time & plan to do another series simultaneously, any of the others will be great no matter which. As long as we're watching you watching and reacting to the boys, we'll for sure enjoy it.

oh god, idk about American Hustle Life. I love the guys but the show itself was very... cringe xD

wjeong

For me it does not matter the order.. I love all shows but have a soft spot for In The Soop.. but bottomline, all the shows makes you fall even deeper for the boys

The Rise of Bangtan and RunBTS.

Tracy Dowd

Run bts, bon voyage, in the soop

Run bts , bon voyage andin the soop

Ame

Hey Anthony. I recommend American Hustle live, RUN BTS and they live performance MMA, MAMA - 2017, 2018, 2019.

Silvia Parusheva

Honestly watch the tour docuseries. Start with burn the stage (on YouTube premium) and the bring the soul & break the silence. I feel like you see their commitment and process as musicians, as well as their humanity the most in those series. Rise of Bangtan is fun too but there are more song spoilers in that one, it gives you a good chronological view of their journey. Maybe sprinkle in some run episodes in between for fun.

Jean

I would recommend you to watch The Rise of Bangtan, first. It's a netflix-level series created by army. It has a lot of info about kpop since the beginning and it features a lot of kpop artists including BlackPink, Exo, Shinee, Super Junior etc. Very informative series with excellent narratives.

I recommend you the episode 41 of run BTS the whisper challenge :3

BlueShio

I agree with this suggestion!

We will follow what you decide, we are here, because we are army and we love all of them and we can see it a thousand times and it does not bore us ... we will laugh with you ... maybe we will get excited and cry ... that is the essence of BTS

Rosy O.

If i must say, its good for you to start with their docu series + movie. In order : Burn The Stage (Wings Tour 2016-2018); Bring The Soul (Love Yourself Tour 2018); Break The Silence (Love Yourself Speak Yourself Tour 2019). Its the best to get into their personalities, their works through these. Very insightful and inspirational.

nienie

I’d start with one of the docoseries like Burn the Stage or Break the Silence. In the Soop is fun, so is Bon Voyage if you want to get to know each members personality’s more

Holly Louise

The Rise of Bangtan is great. And Bring The Soul Burn the Stage

Andréia 🇧🇷

bon voyage first season started 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 (4 seasons) run bts started around 2015 (every tuesday new episode, so far 152) in the soop s1 is from 2020 (i guess 16 episodes) - S2 coming October 21 but you really should start with rise of bangtan and the 2 documantarys on youtube because of a lot of background infos - PERSONA burn the stage (2018) - movie and series break the silence (2020) - before pandemic and like i already requested the great video from xceleste "this is bts" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cESARetI9U&t=227s

There a huge amount of content they put out for fans to see. Personally I think you have to watch the rise of bangtan first, these episodes are a compilation of videos from different sources. Most of the time while watching them I’m thinking to my self where can I watch those videos😆 so its also a bit of a mix and match. You should definitely watch run bts in betweens. Yeah for the movies. I do it chronologically. Oh and they have BTS gayo. You can call it like a subepisode of Run cause its almost the same. They do games as well But episodes are shorter, maybe 15mins long? Depends😅 Once you go down this rabbit hole there’s no going back! Its whole lotta FUN!!!💜

I totally agree with u on this, rise of bangtan will give an indepth knowledge about how they started and what hurdles the boys had to face.

As some of people already said it, I think you don't need to finish the whole series before start another one. Since all of series have different concept. I suggest the Rise of Bangtan though, you can get the big picture of what BTS working on and how they work since the pre-debut days, then you can watch Run BTS or bon voyage in between to see fun side of BTS since earlier days. For In the soop, the series itself is new so you can see pretty much the most recent behavior of boys, its relaxing but maybe you could feel quite slow if you haven't discovered what they've been through in their work or trips in bon voyage. You can also watch this in between serious videos/documentaries so you can feel refreshed. For other documentaries like burn the stage, bring the soul, break the silence, they are documentaries during their tours, so I think you can choose earlier released one to start with. Festa is their celebration of anniversary, so maybe you can watch in order of year too, in between other videos.

mamimumemo

Hard one. In the Soop will give you a really good idea about these young men and how they relate to one another. It’s great but so is everything else. BTS RUN are shorter but many times several episodes for one “story”. Obviously, do them all. I’m still working through the extensive list.

As for the documentaries, the proper order is Burn the Stage, Bring the Soul, and Break the Silence.

I agree with Crystal… Run BTS is 152 episodes deep now. Even I haven’t watched them all. Lol! “In the Soop” season 2 is dropping Oct 15 so if you want to catch up on season 1 I highly recommend it. It’s therapeutic

Run bts has over 150 episodes and still going so maybe pick a day to do one and then the rise of bangtan still going as well but there are only 16 chapters so far. Maybe alternate between them

April Forgue

As a baby Army, I have watched Run BTS, In the Soop and I recently watch the Rise of Bangtan, and really appreciated the detail and editing involved. I would go for Rise of Bangtan first. Then Run and then In the Soop. Need to watch Bon Voyage!

CathFiBo

I think Rise of Bangtan first. Then Run BTS and Bon Voyage. I also think it's cool to alternate between Run BTS and Bon Voyage.

Crystal Lee

For me https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRiseOfBangtanOfficial has contributed a lot to the knowledge of BTS daily lives and ARMY's perception of it

I suggest Run Episodes first...then Bon Voyage..or combine these two alternately...not In the soop first because its recent

Well it depends on your time-investment. Run BTS averages 30 min. episodes, sometimes shorter / longer it is just a pure entertainment variety show full of shenanigans. There are four seasons of Bon Voyage and two seasons of In the Soop (the second will air next month), each season covers a week-long vacation for BTS (Bon Voyage is travelling abroad, and In the Soop is relaxation vacation in the Korean forest/countryside). Each episode averages 1 hour, sometimes longer. Burn the Stage is a docu-series that specifically covers their WINGS tour and each episode averages an hour, sometimes longer. There is an abridged documentary film of the same name which is around 1.5 hours. Bring the Soul and Break the Silence are docu-series that cover their Love Yourself tours and again there is are abridged films of the same name that are around 1.5 hours. The Rise of Bangtan is an ARMY-produced docuseries on YouTube which is SUPER in-depth, following BTS from pre-debut until today (it is an ongoing series), it is filled with so much behind the scenes footage. I highly recommend it. Each episode is around 30 min. SO I would recommend you pick a show and do that one show until completion before you move on to the next show. Alternatively, you can do a Run BTS episode a week + an episode of one of the longer shows (depending on your time-investment). If you do want to do a longer show, I really recommend The Rise of Bangtan, it's actually top tier, you wouldn't think it was fanmade. If you want to do Bon Voyage I recommend starting with season 1, same with In the Soop. And the docu-series or films which cover the tours are fascinating, it shows you just how insane tour life and their shows really are and how exhausting but how much they love doing shows. FESTA is annual celebration of BTS as a group. They usually release like an hour-long video of them talking and reflecting on the past year(s).

I also suggest you start run bts anyways, and then while you watch them, you can start another show at some point. But maybe do not start the run episodes from the first, we can suggest you the best of the best ;-)

Run BTS! 🥰

I will always suggest people watch In the Soop. Always. It is so healing and calming, it should be used as therapy. It’s one of the first things I go to when I’m anxious or upset. Run BTS is super fun and pure chaos in the best possible way. Bon Voyage is almost as wonderful as In the Soop, just a bit more structured. Have fun on your deep dive.

Heather Clark

I would start with RUN BTS. The first Episodes are still very short, but get longer with each Episode. Watching this show makes me happy every time.

MelBe

Run BTS has over 150 episodes so that will take a lot of time to go through, I think it would be a good idea to mix with the others :D. The Rise of the Bangtan is a fan-made (ongoing) documentary series that goes through all their history, from 2013 until maybe 2017 so far (16 episodes - ongoing). I would start with this one, it's a personal favourite and I think it's a very good foray into their history, looking at both the ups and downs in their career. The other shows you mentioned are a mix of reality shows and docu-series (the "burn" ones). They are more or less evenly split across these categories and generally have 8 episodes per season (year) so I would suggest to alternate between these two types of shows (for variety purposes) + the FESTAs (yearly anniversary "parties" ) in some sort of chronological order so that we can all see and enjoy the progression :) 1. Festa 2014 - 1 ep 2. Festa 2015 - 1 ep 3. Festa 2016 - 1 ep 4. Bon Voyage Season 1 - 2016 - 8 ep 5. Festa 2017 - 1 ep 6. Gayo Track Behind - 2017 - 15 ep 7. Bon Voyage Season 2 - 2017 - 8 ep 8. Festa 2018 - 1 ep 9. Burn The Stage - Docu-Series - 2018 - 8 ep 10. Bon Voyage Season 3 - 2018 - 8 ep 11. Festa 2019 - 1 ep 12. Bring The Soul - Docu-Series - 2019 - 6 ep 13. Bon Voyage Season 4 - 2019 - 8 ep 14. Festa 2020 - 1 ep 15. In The Soop BTS - Season 1 - 2020 - 8 ep 16. Break The Silence - Docu-Series - 2020 - 7 ep 17. Festa 2021 - 1 ep You could also occasionally throw in a BTS run episode (maybe every 2 weeks), either chronologically or maybe based on recommendations instead of going through all of them (although I would enjoy watching all of them here). Going back to "The Rise of Bangtan", you could watch it first, last, or intersperse the episodes among the shows above, but I think the best way to see it is first, as a means to learn more about them. Or maybe you could watch one episode a week of "The Rise of the Bangtan" and of episode of the other shows. Regardless of the order in which you will choose to watch them, I'm going to enjoy your content :)

AlinaMaria

Every show is a good start to get to know more about them from different perspectives, personally I'd like you star with Run or Bon Voyage since they are like their first own shows

CaroJK

Here is the link to the first episode of BTS American Hustle Life. It was when they first started out. There are like 6 episodes I think? https://youtu.be/EHt4d0X-vqY

Run BTS! 😁

I love In the Soop, but the problem with watching it is that the paid version is difficult to record even if you pay for it. So you have to use other people's uploads. Maybe just skip around and watch the best Run BTS episodes. You can watch those on vlive and record a reaction. It's just the weverse only series that are more difficult. Also Rise of Bangtan would be great!

Mary-Liramei

I'd go for run bts first, that's how I started. They have a lot of content and they always make us laugh.

If some of my friends would ask me in which order is best to watch I would say: 1) Bring the Soul (that was first documentary) 2) Rise of Bangtan 3) RUN BTS (but since its stil on air, its better to go through it during the others shows) 4) Bon Voyage (every summer holiday they had new one) 5)Festa (also every year for the anniversary) 6) Break the silence (second documentary, great one) 7) In The Soop (its new one) I myself started, almost 3 years ano now, with RUN and you can find all episodes on VLive or Wevers

Trixie GoodSleeper

BTS in the soop is more to laid back reality show. Run BTS more to fun and games. but Run BTS have more than 100 eps , it might takes time for you. but early eps for Run BTS mostly like 15 mins long.

I'd recommend Run BTS too. It is such a fun show, and you really get to know their personalities. And it is free content, so you can record it without any 'illegal links'. There is so many episodes tho, and most creators start from first episode and it takes like over two years to get to newer episodes. So maybe consider asking which episodes to watch first, and we help you go on since many episodes are split to 2 to 3 parts. The Rise on Bangtan is good choice to get to know their career. We can help you getting to know which songs to listen before every episode. :-) Glad to be here and will watch whatever you chooose!

These are all great!!! I started with Bon Voyage and then Run BTS... its ALOT of content!!! This will be fun!!! 💜🤟👍

All are great but Bon Vogage and Burn the Stage would be my personal preference 😍 It would take over a year to catch up with Run episodes but they are hilarious and so entertaining 💜 Whatever you choose I will watch and enjoy Anthony xxx

Nardia

Bon voyage season 4 is my personal favorite. There’s a second season of in the Soop being released in October. You can find these episodes for free that people have uploaded on Dailymotion. Run bts is great, but there are so many episodes. If you start and only stick to that it’s going to take a while to get to other shows. You don’t need to watch run bts episodes in order, you could start these shows and in between you could watch some run eps 🤷🏻‍♀️ Whatever you go with, I’m excited to watch regardless :)

licibi

Bon voyage season 1 is a good beginning I think and Run BTS 💜

BlueShio

Honestly, I prefer Run BTS to start with, even though there are a lot of episodes, because it's their variety show. They do everything from pottery to cooking to bungee jumping on there. You can see how competitive they are and see more of their real personalities. Festa is just a live broadcast that they do every year for their anniversary, although actual Festa is the first couple of weeks in June and includes a lot of different things, like free songs on Soundcloud, MVs, performances, a long variety show type of thing, and a lot of pictures. Burn The Stage, Bring The Soul, and Break The Silence are 3 documentary series, along with a movie for each, that shows the behind the scenes for three different tours. Burn the Stage was the first one and they're all paid content, although it's possible to find copies on Daily Motion, for example. The Rise of Bangtan is a very well-made and thorough fan-made documentary series. It may be fan-made, but it's at a professional level. It documents their entire career, starting with before they even debuted. There are also a couple of related series, showing clips that weren't included in the actual episodes. Bon Voyage is a series where the boys go on a trip to another country. It's basically a vacation, but they have to do everything themselves, like checking in for flights, finding their hotel, grocery shopping, laundry, and cooking. They're given a budget and have to stay within the budget. Of course, they still have the crew with them, so there's some flexibility with things and if one of them gets lost, the crew will go pick him up. There are 4 seasons. It was originally paid content, but I think that the first 2 or 3 seasons are now available for free. Last year would have been season 5 of Bon Voyage, but they couldn't go anywhere, because of Covid. Instead, their company rented an Air BNB for them, surrounded by forest, and they stayed there for a week. Soop means "forest" in Korean, so In the Soop shows their week in the forest. You may want to start with that one, because Season 2 is coming out next month. It's currently available for pre-order on the Weverse Shop. It starts becoming available on October 15th and they'll air one episode a week. The first season is 8 episodes with some behind the scenes content and the new one will be 5 episodes. This year, instead of renting an Air BNB, their company built them a mansion, again surrounded by forest. They have 2 other series, Rookie Kings, which is similar to Run BTS but is the first variety show they ever did. The other one is American Hustle Life, but that one has some truly cringy moments, especially in the beginning. The point of American Hustle Life is for the boys to learn about Hip Hop culture, but they're surrounded by people who speak English when they don't really speak the language. It ended up being a positive experience for them, over all, I think, but it didn't start out that way. It's a bit controversial and, personally, I don't like that series, but that's just me. So, hopefully, this gave you more information about exactly what kind of content is available, so you can better decide what you want to watch. Oh, and if you do decide to watch Run, you can start with episode 2, if you want. The first episode is just a plug for the V app, where they do most of their live broadcasts. Also, the first few episodes are really short, only 10-15 minutes. Later episodes are around 45 minutes Whatever you watch, I'm sure that you'll enjoy it!

Jessica McGuire

I would say Run BTS. You will learn more about their personalities and it's full of them playing variety of games and betraying each other to get the prizes lol. It's gonna be fun! I don't know if you are going to start from the start or choose episodes randomly but either way, it's gonna be a long but a fun one <33

natsumi miyuki

You cant go wrong with any of these! I would love to see you start with In the Soop or Bon Voyage first to get a good feeling for the boys personalities! In the Soop’s second season will be starting October 15th too.

Casey

Run bts. In the begining it is very simple because it is very new and they dont know what to do i think and also the budget is so low. It is getting better and better.

Run BTS. Is the best in my humble opinion. You get to really see their individual personalities. They basically play a variety of games. They compete against each other. They are so hilarious and so competitive. Also, it’s funny to see these guys get so excited about the prizes that they win. Like seriously, they were so thankful for a few face masks. Never would you imagine that you were watching 7 millionaires. They are humble. I’m excited to watch whatever you choose to post. 💜

I personally say in the soop or bon voyage are the best. I’d say they are the chillest—especially in the soop. It’s be a nice way to continue to learn their personalities and group dynamics if you interested in that.

These are all wonderful choices, it's going to take a crazy amount of time to get through it all. Run is super fun to watch no matter how well you know the guys, in the soop is relaxing to watch but also I think a little slow if you're not like in love with the guys so I honestly don't know how much you'll enjoy it >.<

fox

These are all so great content! (And personally, I'm slowly taking the time to watch these myself!) I suggest going into In The Soop first though. Because the second season is coming this October! Pretty exciting stuff. (Also, In The Soop was one of the first things I watched when I was a very new army, it was the bestest! I got to see a whole new different side of them, their dynamic as a group, as individuals, as musicians. So good, I swear!

Bon voyage ,In the Soop or BTS Run you will get to know they personality more i think ..but as long is BTS ,dont mind at all what you start it lol thank you for you amazing reaction to them

Sokha Hem

In the soop and bon voyage you xan see the personalities of each members on thier free time. Run bts has too many episodes it would take you a year to catch up. 💜💜

KarLooorosa

The rise of bangtan is a good documentary of their journey from the beginning 😊, in the soop or Bon voyage are awesome to watch their daily life and travels

Vlada B

we're currently in 152nd episode of dalbang (run bts) so it's pretty hard to catch up. in the soop is a paid content (which is a very unfortunate situation for broke armys like me). Rise of Bangtan would do.

Jewel C.

I would say to start with RUN, as that'd give a good overview of them in general, then get into IN THE SOOP to see some of that more laid-back content and see them actually interacting with one another in a more relaxed environment.

David Strate

lol there are like 150 episodes of Run BTS so it would take awhile to catch up. Maybe start with bon voyage or in the soop- I think you'd really like those:)

Olanna

The good thing is you don’t need to watch any particular one before any others, i’d love to see RUN or Bon Voyage first, run has tons of episodes tho so it would take you over a year to catch up if you do it weekly lol or Rise of Bangtan is amazing as well very informative & gives you a much deeper depth of what exactly BTS has gone through!

Stephanie Gallagher

Maybe for the movie u can start from BURN THE STAGE..

In the soop

Sonam

IN THE SOOP please🙏🙏🙏🥺

Bon voyage and in the soop

in the soop!! or bon voyage! run has tons of eps
