Suga turns into charismatic teacher on ‘Run BTS!’

The latest episode of BTS’ web reality show “Run BTS!” featured the concept of a school classroom with Suga as a charismatic homeroom teacher.

Other than the concept, the 63rd episode, released via V Live on Tuesday, followed the show’s usual format: band members, divided into two teams, playing games.

In the first of the day’s four classes, RM, V, Jin, Jimin, J-Hope and Jungkook -- all wearing school uniforms -- chose the class president. Each member came forward for a speech and tried freestyle dancing to the school bell song.

The youngest member, Jungkook, who said at the podium, “I am not interested in school presidency,” was elected as the student chief.

“Now we have the class president, let’s move on to the second class,” Suga said.

“Since this is a music-focused school, we will be playing an instrument,” he added.

The mission was to master hand bells in 10 minutes to play “Celebrated Chop Waltz” without any mistake.
