its basically abbreviation slang but with syllables instead of initials - like if i were to say co-co-wi :)

2024-08-23 22:38:24 +0000 UTCHonestly you guys got it way faster than other reactors (no shade to them, just giving a benchmark) - so don't worry. Non-Korean speakers will never get the answers too :D But you guys understood the concept and I felt like you enjoyed seeing them succeed/suffer so all's good! I think their games get easier to understand with further episodes, but there are moments when local context is needed and that makes it more fun and unique imo~

2024-08-18 08:02:36 +0000 UTCOh my goodness you guys threw me waaayyyyy back to my college days. Yes Gabriel, I think our brain's works faster back then when using those phones. And may I say that Daniel and Summer looks soooo cute when they tell us their little love story throwback. Lovely Abby looks as confused as we were back when we first watched this ep. Don't worry dear you're not alone. =)

2024-08-18 05:20:20 +0000 UTCThe closest I've ever gotten to understanding this particular game (in English terms) is IM or text speech, like OMG is oh my god shortened. But in Korean, words aren't made up of letters as such, it's more made up of consonants so these types of slang words use the first or main consonant of the words in the phrase to shorten it. For example, one you may hear from BTS or Army is A-Po-Bang-Po, which is: army forever, bangtan forever. so the phrase is made from the first consonants of each word; A for army( Korean Ah-mi) , Po for the Korean word for forever (Po-ebeo), Bang for Bangtan(BTS) and Po again for forever(also note that this word is not the literal definition of forever, if you say it out loud it sounds like someone attempting to say the english word forever with a korean accent, some modern korean words do this). Hope that helps a bit but to be honest if these games confuse the boys I've accepted defeat on ever fully understand them. :)

2024-08-17 04:44:42 +0000 UTCI've never heard anyone say "and one", but we would just say, "one" as in, "one love", at the end of a convo.

2024-08-17 01:37:03 +0000 UTCBTS got strong fingers especially Jimin. V's facial expression after breaking the egg was priceless. Poor Jimin, he is sweating a lot inside , he has been there for a long time.😥Jin is good at studying knowledge.
Lindy
2024-08-16 22:08:35 +0000 UTCI think the equivalent would be English speakers guessing what the abbreviations ROFL or IDGAF means

2024-08-16 22:04:29 +0000 UTCI definitely think your behind the chaos support team should definitely give you a heads up on upcoming Korean lessons you may not understand. Also just in case, there's a difference between SLANG vs the ACRONYMS/ABREVIATIONS. I think if ya'll had not been so focused on trying to get the rules you would have seen that in the answer given by RM and Jin, they actually HIGHLIGHTED the begging "letters" of the full words/terms which i think that is definitely easier to understand than hearing or reading the captions.

2024-08-16 22:02:29 +0000 UTCPlease watch run jin episodes as well along with run bts
Auro
2024-08-16 19:28:22 +0000 UTCi imagine someone might have already explained it before me but just in case! you were right about the general idea of the game, but it's closer to putting things like 'YOLO' 'BRB 'LMFAO' 'LOL' and such because what they tend to do in Korea is separating words by syllables, so for example in Korea they drink so much Ice Americano that instead of calling it the whole thing they say "Aah Ah" (Ah = Ice Ah = Americano). I don't even know if I'm explaining it in a way that's understandable but basically they had to guess what word the diff syllables stood for
Nana
2024-08-16 18:23:50 +0000 UTCFor me watching kdramas has help a lot. Know I can pick up certain words or phrases without needing to read the captions .
Emily Sanchez
2024-08-16 18:16:24 +0000 UTCYou understood the gist of the last game. =) BTW, there is a Run BTS episode (much later on) in which they play a game where they have to guess pager acronyms. Your conversation at the end reminded me of that. =)

2024-08-16 17:55:38 +0000 UTCI'm cracking up at everyone's reaction to "He's him" 😂. They said huh???

2024-08-16 17:50:47 +0000 UTCGuys please react to ¿Are you sure? The New program of Jimin and Jungkook!

2024-08-16 17:50:30 +0000 UTCYou guys definitely caught on to the point of the game at the end there, even if it doesn’t translate to English well😂 love your RUN reactions!! 💜💜

2024-08-16 17:39:50 +0000 UTCI compare the 2nd game to English speakers using acronyms and abbreviations in texting. So we use YOLO, FOMO, istg, fwiw, btw, tbh, etc. This game is using Korean abbreviations in a sentence and they have to figure out what words/phrases those abbreviations are replacing, then say the sentence using full words. I think in Korean, it's more ambiguous and maybe more difficult bc they use abbreviations in speech too, not just texting.
akaV✌🏼
2024-08-16 17:24:10 +0000 UTClearning how to read and count in korean is so easy, like you can learn it in a few hours if you really want to. knowing and understanding the meaning is a different conversation tho 😂 the counting you know with "hana (1) dul (2) set (3)" is called native korean, another counting way is "il (1) i (2) sam (3) sa (4)" which is called the sino-korean. knowing the different counting ways is very important because they use these in every situation and they use both at the same time when counting/saying the time

2024-08-16 17:20:00 +0000 UTCThis reminds me I was watching a K drama after months this week, and kept thinking why are they speaking so slowly and enunciating so well? And taking turns to speak? Watching too many BTS content does this to you.😄
D
2024-08-16 17:18:18 +0000 UTCa great example also is how koreans say TXT's name in korean. They call them "tu-ba-tu" because their group name is 투모로우바이투게더 (TU-mo-ro-u-BA-i-TU-ge-deo) but in english we say it as T-X-T because of their english name Tomorrow by (X) Together.

2024-08-16 16:19:51 +0000 UTCAhhhh ok, that makes way more sense then what I was saying 😅 Thank u!
Spacylady01
2024-08-16 16:02:09 +0000 UTCIt's more like She was rofl, but since in Korea they shorten with syllables and not letters, it's: She was ro on flo wi la
D
2024-08-16 15:44:13 +0000 UTCUsually, for me learning languages is quite easy (I studied English, Japanese, German (Middle High German and Old High German) and learned French in school). So the alphabet and therefore reading Korean is quite easy compared to Japanese. Even though the the sentence structure in Japanese and Korean is very similar. The honorifics are killing me in both languages 😅. Enough TMI from me. I recommend you to have a look into the Korean alphabet to get a feeling how the individual letters are combined into syllables.
Nira
2024-08-16 15:40:42 +0000 UTCDaniel I think you meant "one" meaning goodbye not "anwon" lol
Vmin95
2024-08-16 15:40:05 +0000 UTCThey do have verbs at the end of sentences( mostly), which is why I find translating Korean to most Indian languages is way easier than translating to languages with Subject-verb- object structure, like English.
D
2024-08-16 15:39:29 +0000 UTCJin has a curiosity with penalties. He'll always try after even though he witnessed the unpleasantness. You'll notice it throughout BTS content
PrettyJumpTree
2024-08-16 15:36:46 +0000 UTCIt was so funny when you guys started talking about all the slang that was around when you were in school!
lis
2024-08-16 15:36:25 +0000 UTCsame! i love how interesting language and evolution of language is, but also its so difficult to learn
Randi
2024-08-16 15:34:37 +0000 UTCyea its difficult to get this just by watching it in one time if you see this video multiple times then you can kinda hear how the short forms expand in korean
Shreya
2024-08-16 15:29:35 +0000 UTCDaniele used a good example that's similar to what the sauna game was: GOAT
Charmaine Flynn
2024-08-16 15:24:08 +0000 UTCits just internet slang guys newly coined shortened phrases like lol, lmao but they give the question that actually uses these shortened words in a sentence for them so that they can at-least guess easily what the shorted one is using the sentence as reference
Shreya
2024-08-16 15:23:12 +0000 UTCI thibk its because many people in previous runbts episodes were frustrated and said they needed to read the subtitles more. So they were telling them they speak too much (🙄) and miss stuff so they should read the subs all the questions they have is written . But this kind of word game in korean is too difficult to comprehend i think so they could just watch it for fun and not get too worried about the specific translations ( an advice that also applies to a few other future episodes as well )
Nikolina
2024-08-16 15:21:12 +0000 UTCAccording to Doolset what they’re singing in Idol is Deong gi duck Koong deo reo reo (I inserted spaces) - a traditional Korean music beat called Gutgeori. (FYI: for some reason the captions in the MV do not translate it properly at all.) Thanks for reacting.
JB
2024-08-16 15:18:24 +0000 UTCI agree
Halphoria
2024-08-16 15:18:13 +0000 UTCSame even with knowing the culture. I learned more by watching Kdramas
Zahraa
2024-08-16 15:15:01 +0000 UTCYou guys get too hooked in reading the subs, you need to listen to what they are saying, listening will also help learn more words as well, you wont learn solely by reading
Zahraa
2024-08-16 15:14:05 +0000 UTC“Talk To Me in Korean” is a great place to start if you want to learn Korean. They have a YouTube page and separate website where you can download or purchase learning books. Also, learning how to just read Korean is pretty simple. I learned in a couple of days just from YouTube!
Anna
2024-08-16 15:13:18 +0000 UTCBasically they have to guess the acronyms. An english equivalent would be “Even though I met you yesterday Ilysm.” in which “Ilysm” would be “I love you so much”. Koreans shorten their words by syllables instead of single letters.
meri
2024-08-16 15:11:22 +0000 UTCThe word game is like “too much information” to “tmi” (but in korean they use syllable) so they need to figure out what t, m and i are from. Like Jimin & Jungkook one, they guess that “ae” is from “ae-gi” which means baby and “ae-jung” which means affection
suga suga roon!
2024-08-16 15:07:44 +0000 UTCY’all when you don’t understand just do like me and just enjoy bts being funny af 💀
Anija
2024-08-16 15:04:01 +0000 UTCyou guys have to listen to them actually speak when you’re reading the subs, the korean word games will make sense if you pay attention
liah
2024-08-16 14:59:06 +0000 UTCpausing to talk language. i was a Persian linguist for a while back in the military, and one of the biggest challenges to wrap my head around was the sentence structure differences. in English we do Subject, Verb, Object. in persian it was Subject (depending), Object, Verb. in a few of the instances that i've been able to really listen to bts, i think sometimes they go Object Verb/Subject or Object Subject Verb. In persian there were a lot of verbs where the version of the verb you used would imply the Subject so you the sentence would just be Object Verb. it was sooooooooooo challenging.
Randi
2024-08-16 14:55:40 +0000 UTChonestly it helps so much if you guys also focus on listening to them talk as much as you focus on the subs. i know it might not be easy for some people but it’s the only way you can make connections between what the subs are saying and what they’re actually trying to say in korean especially when they don’t directly translate perfectly. another common example they’ve used even in future episodes is “dalbang” which is shortening the korean title of run bts “DAL-lyeora BANG-tan” in english, we abbreviate using the first letter of each word, so laugh out loud would be LOL and too much information would be TMI. but in korean, they commonly abbreviate using the first character. run bts in hangeul characters is (달)려라 (방)탄, with the characters in brackets being dal and bang respectively, hence why they commonly shorten run bts (dallyeora bangtan) to dalbang. a less common abbreviation is using the last characters. in another future episode (closer to the end so honestly you’ll probably forget this by then lol), they do the same game where they’re given abbreviated terms. one of the questions was 박박 (pronounced bakbak) and the correct answer was 대(박) 대(박) (pronounced daebak daebak, meaning amazing or awesome), again with the abbreviated characters in brackets. but while guessing, they were making guesses like “clap if you’re park jimin” because clap is 박수 (baksu) and jimin’s last name park is 박 (bak), so “(bak)jimin..(bak)su”. it’s so funny because during that game, jimin got so frustrated he was like “is it so hard to say the whole thing?” 😭
corinne
2024-08-16 14:54:50 +0000 UTCHey guys it would be nuce if you guys could include a bts documentary in the next week /next lineup since its been so long you reacted to documentaries the latest one is kinda like RIse of bangtan style with members reminiscing their eras and its like an anthology documentary
Shreya
2024-08-16 14:50:05 +0000 UTCYoongi kind of got Tae to take the other egg even tho he was about to pick the correct one so thats why he was all sulky after it cracked on his head lmaoooo but omg yes these two eps are so entertaining cant wait for the next one ^^ ♡
Ashlee
2024-08-16 14:48:20 +0000 UTCThey play a lot of games that are based on the Korean language. If you don't know the language it's not going to make sense. It's ok to just watch and enjoy lol.
KF
2024-08-16 14:47:30 +0000 UTCPrecisely. young ≠ forever because of the song but because forever is 영원히 (young-won-hee)… so in Korean young is the first syllable of forever
Sara Ell
2024-08-16 14:45:15 +0000 UTCLet me explain it. They are given sentences with a term that has been shortened (the part not translated) according to how new generations use them (not slangs, just shortenings). The terms are shortened using the first characters of each word, e.g. "TMI" meaning "Too Much Information". In English the shortenings would be acronyms or alphabetisms, but since Korean works in characters, each character is a syllable, e.g. "hone-ko-no" meaning "HONEja KOin NOraebang" (coin karaoke room). Forgive me if there are mistakes, I'm not korean :)
claudia
2024-08-16 14:40:01 +0000 UTCThere will be numerous episodes where it won't quite translate over. So when it comes to those episodes, don't focus so hard on trying to make it translate. Lol just enjoy the game 🤣 I love your reactions to Run BTS.
Carole
2024-08-16 14:39:13 +0000 UTCCan't Wait for episode 63. its 3 parts episode. Soooo funny its one of my favorites 😂
Sara Pak
2024-08-16 14:37:41 +0000 UTCthe coined terms are kinda like acronyms. they used it this game, but an equivalent for english speakers would probably be TMI = too much information it takes the first syllable of each korean word of the phrase and makes it a shortened version.
taz
2024-08-16 14:37:34 +0000 UTCSomeone correct me if I'm wrong, but the word game they were playing, kinda like when saying 'Someone has a lot of rizz' Rizz= charisma A new slang word by younger gen. I could be completely off buy that's how American brain relates to that game 😆
Spacylady01
2024-08-16 14:35:24 +0000 UTCI got more korean words from watching doramas for 3 months than watching bts for 5 years 😭😭 idk I think their accents and speed make it harder to pick it up
