Run @BTS_twt crews are always the sweetest. I think I'll be (excitedly) scared imagining how strict Na PD would be with our boys coz theyre used to being taken care of so well by the Ru crews. But since I trust the boys I think I'll be laughing along too later 😳😳🙊👍💜 pic.twitter.com/X5EW4MzNxl

Na PD has been hoping to film BTS. In Dec, he said he's not at the level who cast BTS, but rather, the collab will only happen if HYBE contacts him. Recently, he also expressed his hope after talking to You Quiz PD. Now it's happening!!! The best variety show PD on Run BTS! 🔥💜 pic.twitter.com/whLgOP2vMG

So this was a spoiler of the Na PD of 'Fifteen Nights on a Business Trip' and @BTS_twt 'RUN BTS' collaboration (5/4 Run BTS on Vlive & Weverse and 5/7 on tvN). TV producer, Na Young Seok is very famous in Korea as a hit maker of TV variety-reality shows. pic.twitter.com/n0CO9qkopX

The biggest difference between the Run BTS PDs and Na PD is the Run BTS PDs want to give everything to BTS regardless of the results and Na PD wants to take everything away (through games). THIS IS GOING TO BE FUNNNNNNNNNN

Fans cannot wait for all the new BTS content, and this Run BTS! collaboration with Na PD could be just the first of many in the future.
