저희 진지합니다. 제1회 피클볼 대회 l BTS in Toronto EP.2

Episode Summary

The episode begins with a chaotic hacky-sack game. Everyone gets two lives, and the members vote on the spot to decide who’s at fault for a miss. Their improvised refereeing quickly produces a string of excuses: puddles and trees are blamed for “nature sabotage,” while RM’s unreachable high kicks are ruled a “height issue.” Players drop out quickly, but Jung Kook reveals an unexpected knack for keeping the sack aloft in a bonus round. A flock of ducks briefly steals the group’s attention before j-hope herds everyone toward the main event.

The main event is BTS’s first pickleball tournament. After the members explain the rules and practice, they split into teams—with j-hope, one of the more experienced players, drawing the short straw and having to play solo. The team names are nearly as entertaining as the matches: RM and Jin are “Kim-Kim,” SUGA and V become “VUGA,” and j-hope’s team name shifts between “jope” and “Kim Seokjin 1.” Jin also dusts off his old tennis-tournament gold medal credentials, while the commentators give RM a mock player profile that simply describes him as “fine.”

The matches turn out to be surprisingly competitive:

• In the opener, Jimin and Jung Kook rally from a close game to beat RM and Jin, 10–8.
• VUGA faces j-hope alone. Despite repeated service faults, j-hope beats SUGA and V, 10–7.
• SUGA improves noticeably as the games go on, while V’s nerves lead to a slump. The pair’s occasional foot-volleyball habits make the pickleball rules feel negotiable.
• RM and Jin take third place by beating VUGA.
• The final pits j-hope against Jimin and Jung Kook, with a “loser gets washed” penalty hanging over the match. The rallies become fast and tense, and j-hope puts up a strong fight alone, but the two-player team’s numbers eventually tell: Jimin and Jung Kook win 10–7 and take the championship.

The members praise the game’s unexpectedly fun, high-quality rallies and suggest making pickleball a longer-running project. Their winning wish is a bowling episode, and the show closes with a playful debate over whether BTS’s old-fashioned group sign-off is still a thing.
