In the world of KPOP, we all have fallen in love with these idols and groups through their visuals, songs, performances, and everything in between! Moreover, whether you are new to fangirling and fanboying or have been doing so for a long time, you may have had the feeling that you can't get enough of them, so you end up consuming all kinds of content they create and offer.

Thankfully, as we get curious about these idols’ personalities and unique charms, there is this world of variety shows which allows us to know and enjoy more of them!

If you're a fan of Bighit's Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS) and Tomorrow x Together (TXT), Pledis' Seventeen, or Belift Lab's Enhypen, you're probably already aware of how they dominate their own variety shows. Meanwhile, if you're just plainly curious about how these HYBE Labels' KPOP boy groups are doing away from the stage, check out their variety shows and see for yourself!

Run BTS!

Run BTS! has come a long way since its first episode in 2015, with the seven members of Bangtan Sonyeondan, or more popularly known as BTS, playing different games for prizes or punishments, going through exciting challenges in which they end up teaming up or betraying one another, and even portraying characters that are truly amusing and enjoyable to watch. With the show's six-year run, it's nearly impossible not to find an episode in which Jin, Suga, RM, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook try a concept you've imagined them to try.

Despite the fact that it has been almost a year since the septet announced that they will be taking a break from the show to focus on other activities, you can binge-watch more than a hundred and fifty episodes of Run BTS! for free on V Live.

Recently, ARMY and other Run BTS! fans were blessed when the group surprisingly released the 2022 Special Episode titled Telepathy, in which the boys' connection is tested as they are given questions to which they must all have the same answers, and they are challenged to meet in the same places that they can think of when given random keywords. What makes the two-part special episode even more special is how the words and locations included in the episode show us a glimpse of BTS' journey from when they were still trainees to now, when they are known to be one of the world's biggest boy bands.

If you missed Run BTS! 2022 Special Episode (Parts 1 and 2), you can watch them on V Live and Youtube!

Going Seventeen

There is no denying how big of a group Seventeen is with its 13 members: S. Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Woozi, Hoshi, Wonwoo, The 8, DK, Mingyu, Vernon, Seungkwan, and Dino. But you will surely fall in love with each one of them as they show their chaotic sides in their own online variety show–Going Seventeen.

Going Seventeen has produced legendary episodes that are sure to make the audience laugh—whether they are a Carat or not! From its behind-the-scenes episode format in 2017 to its transition to a variety show format in 2019, Going Seventeen has been such a success that it has even gained its own loyal audience outside of the Carat fandom, which has been dubbed as Cubic.

If you’re a Carat, a Cubic, or a casual viewer who is interested in discovering more of Seventeen, you can watch Going Seventeen on the group’s Youtube channel. If you enjoy South Korea's famous Mafia Game, try the Don't Lie series. If you want to see Seventeen's chaotic banter over illogical topics, watch the Debate Night series. And if you want to see the guys have fun just being themselves while on a trip, check out the TTT series!

To Do x TXT

After debuting in 2019, Tomorrow x Together or TXT has become one of the fourth-generation KPOP boy groups that are continuously making their names known around the globe. While MOAs adore the group for their talents, one of the reasons that fans are so enamored with its members is because of their amazing chemistry and playful personalities that they show even off the stage.

To Do x TXT, or simply known as To Do is a gateway for MOAs and interested casuals to discover the charms of each member. With almost three years since they started their own variety show, Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Huening Kai, and Taehyun have tried various activities, challenges, and missions in To Do’s episodes. The show's concept can be summed up to TXT basically like ticking activities off a to-do list of things they don't usually do in the spotlight.

While others tend to focus on their great achievements as idols, it is endearing for those who have found comfort in To Do that the group also celebrates the variety show’s milestones. For To Do's One Year Anniversary Party, the group tried bungee jumping, and TXT even wrote letters and blew a cake like it was a family member's birthday to celebrate the show's second anniversary in an episode titled 2nd Birthday Party.

You can binge-watch To Do and wait for its next episodes for free on Youtube.

En O’Clock

Enhypen is a seven-member group that debuted in 2020 after being formed through the survival competition series I-Land. Not even a year after their debut, Enhypen, like other HYBE Labels’ groups, has established their own variety show.

En O'Clock aired its first episode in June 2021 and its latest episode was aired in June of this year. Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and NI-KI, the Enhypen members aged 16 to 20, have displayed their youthful energy in each episode of the show. With 41 episodes to date, En O’Clock is perfect for getting to know the members as they engage in various sports, themed games, and vacation trips.

Whether you are an Engene who misses En O’Clock episodes or you are someone who is simply interested in knowing more about Enhypen, anytime is a perfect time for you to check out En O’Clock on Youtube.

Meanwhile, if you've finished watching all of the episodes of the said variety show, there's no need to be sad because the group has released an En O'Clock spin-off titled So So Fun in which the members take us along on their trip as they make fun and unforgettable memories!

The Game Caterers 2 x HYBE

If you wish to see Seventeen, TXT, Enhypen and other idols and groups under HYBE Labels in one variety show, then the HYBE special episodes of The Game Caterers 2 is the perfect present for you! Check it out below!
