The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Run BTS (Korean: 달려라 방탄; also stylized as Run BTS!) is a South Korean variety web series starring boy group BTS. The series broadcasts weekly and has been offered for free viewing on V Live since 2015, Weverse since 2020, and YouTube since 2022. In each episode, the band members play games or participate in a variety of activities that require them to complete challenges, and sometimes carry out secret missions, in order to earn prizes or receive punishments. Three seasons of the series, comprising 156 episodes, have been released since it premiered on August 1, 2015, with new episodes airing every Tuesday. From August 16, 2022, a special 10-episode season—the first since a 10-month-long hiatus after season three ended in October 2021—was released. The series returned as Run BTS! 2.0 starting April 23, 2026. A prologue episode was released on April 7, which focused on their discussions regarding the revamped program's schedules and plans.
