What I noticed in BTS Jungkook & Jimin’s Sauna Episode with Chu Sung-hoon



I watched the BTS Jungkook & Jimin episode on Chu Sung-hoon’s channel, and I quite enjoyed it! In this review, I break down what I noticed about their incredible variety instincts—from how Jimin and Jungkook turned a drink into a running gag to the deep meaning behind their new album ‘ARIRANG.’ We also dive into the “Fatherly” ear-cleaning moment and the secret to their teamwork.

  1. I would encourage everyone to watch the show. It was great. Watching them cleaning the ears was even ok because you can see how is something a parent would do. You see it as an act of care, not something yucky. They are so down to earth with the host. Hearing them change clothes with each other, cracking the eggs on jimin's head. It was a great show.

  2. I clean my ears 2-3x in a week.🙂 I taught my son to clean on his own now since he is a teen already. To not wait that an earwax impaction will happen. That happend to him recently since he didnt listen to me…and I have to do an ear flushing to take it out like I did to my patients when I used to work in an Ambulatory Clinic.😂

  3. Well I guess it just can't be helped, no matter the circumstances no matter the members, The focus is always on the basis.

  4. It feels like BTS right now just does what they like, each in their own way – which they fully deserve because they have enough pressure on them as it is. And they give us so much!

  5. Honestly I never cleaned my kids ears I took them to a doctor for professional cleaning.
    Are you sure? Is one of my favorite shows and hope they make a new episode

  6. A shout out to members for choosing the situations that would feel the most natural and comfortable for the members attending

  7. I honestly don't see Jimin asking Chu Sung-hoon if he can handle the heat, as himself overstepping into the host job!! I see it as Jimin being thoughtful and concerned about staying too long in the saunas!! Too many people forget how respectful BTS members are towards their seniors!!!! Then asking Chu questions showed their interest in him as an individual!!

  8. I love that the members have said that they chose which YT shows to appear on. They chose channels that they love and may have had some form of interaction with in the past. This is the third or more show that the members have done on Chu Sung-hoon’s channel. They only do what they are comfortable it is not forced on them. This was exactly their style and they were extremely comfortable. I enjoyed their fun.

  9. These guys are natural at what they do. Basically, they don't even need a script. They can go with the flow and naile/ slay it every time. Loved the this show. blessings.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Thanks HB.

  10. I really loved the episode, they all were so funny and it was heartwarming. I wished it to be longer though. Hopefully, all 3 of them will do another episode when they have the time!!!!

  11. HB!! Thank you for covering this one!! I thought this one was very sweet! It was obvious that Mr. Choo was very nervous and excited about the members visiting him. He was visibly flustered at the beginning. It was so refreshing to see the member treat him kindly and with resepect. Some of the scenes reminded me when I was younger spending time with a special member. This episode was relaxed and chill (within alot of "rauring" and burping..lol) Listening to JK talk about ARMY was another highlight for me- honest and sincere. I hope they can do kimchi after the tour is over. im happy this type of content is more accessible- especially if a show highlights different members. 🥰 Looking out for more like the ones they have been dropping lately. Thanks for taking time to review! 💜💜💜

  12. It's like going back in time and seeing 2013-2015 era JK… Here he appears so young, and soft and boy-ish. Maybe because Mr. Chu has such a large strong build. Jimin really knows how to play up Variety and warms up easily to hosts.

  13. Jungkook and Jimin chose him. In an interview it was mentioned that they all chose whose youtube channel they would go on. I loved it. People are freaking out over the ears but did you see Jungkook, he loved it. Even Jimin really didn't mind it.

  14. As a non-asian american, i don't really understand why some people are so offended by this episode? I thought it was pretty funny, chill, and cute? They both seemed like they had a good time, especially since they talked about wanting to maybe collab again in the future. (+the host was already jk's friend & they chose to go on it in the first place). People are saying it's a cultural thing, but nothing that crazy happened to warrant some of the reactions I've been seeing.

  15. All BTS members are so Authentic.. This is Why they are Loved.. I like that for this Comeback the BTS members Split and appeared in different Shows.. Sometimes, when it's All 7, a few of the members become quiet.. Split in 2, More Entertaining..

  16. I find it hilarious how some people are reacting to earwax. 🤣
    Thank you for explanations as always, HB. Two things that were really interesting to me was how much they still sincerely follow their process of conflict resolution and the explicit confirmation that Arirang carries the emotions of them finally coming back together as a close-knit group. That alone is so rare amongst people these days with everyone drifting apart, but adding to that their unique circumstances, this album feels like lightening in a bottle. Listening to the album so many times and I go through so many emotions with them each time. They couldn't have chosen a better theme to express these complex emotions.
    I also really like that they're doing Youtube shows instead that are a lot more free in terms of their structure instead of network shows that tend to stick to scripts. It really allows them to freely show their personalities. Can't lie, I'm also happy traditional k-media isn't getting a piece of them after how low they went.

  17. I followed Choo Sunghoon from return of the superman Sarang his daughter was super hilarious and cute. He was super adorable a gentle giant with his with and daughter. I enjoyed all the members different appearances on variety shows.

  18. This just shows how incredible the bond between Jimin and Jungkook is that they dont need a script they just go with the flow ❤

  19. As long as J & J enjoyed it, I guess it’s ok. But the ear cleaning thing was definitely unusual, even from a Korean perspective. It’s one thing between parent and child, another thing entirely within this context. I know he is married and has a daughter, but the marriage sounds a bit unstable and he is definitely giving off a certain vibe…

  20. hehe I was really looking forward to the episode, and as expected I really enjoyed it 🥰 Jimin & Jungkook are just a very naturally funny duo, and there is a reason why 이게 맞아?! is my absolute favourite comfort show 💜

    31:03 Yes, that’s how it felt to me as well, but it was in a very effortless and natural kind of way, like them just enjoying hanging out with someone they like 🥰

    But you know.. I can’t help but think about all those people out there who were complaining that they aren’t working hard enough and should shoot RUN BTS and stuff, and here they are… delivering nonstop content. I actually hope that fans who wrote those kinds of unfair comments reflect on what they wrote… because if you really think about it, it was actually clear that they weren’t just sitting around doing nothing, but working hard for us. Anyway…

    The moment where they talk about what’s charming about Mr. Choo, and Jimin says that even though he’s this muscular guy who can look intimidating, he has a very adorable and cute side to him ~ and Mr. Choo getting all shy and blushing, so cute ~ cutie approved 😂❤

    And of course the moment where they talk about how they view teamwork and how they make it work. I found that very touching, it actually made me shed a tear because I wish everyone would think like that. It would make a lot of things easier, a lot of misunderstandings could be avoided, and people could just build and maintain healthier, lasting relationships.

  21. It is same in US as well. It is recommended to avoid using earbuds to clean your ears, because they do self clean in warm shower or something. But in case you face problem, you can visit doc and they can help you out or recommend using ear drops. Having said that, people still use it though.

  22. For anyone who has seeen their are you sure travel series understands how on brand this kind of content it is especially for these two.

  23. I noticed Jimin and Jungkook respectfully turning away when they were all drinking together. This episode was honestly just fun to watch. Jimin and Jungkook just seem to be so close and basically at one with each other. It's fun to watch their friendship.

  24. Loved the episode. It was very casual like friends hanging out and totally funny at the same time. Just seems like Jimin has blossomed so much. He is so much more easy and happy. Jungkook and Jimin together are so much fun. Mr Chu is such a good host, even his crew were having a good time with them three.

  25. For a singer, this is an extremely risky move. They could lose their hearing, even damage hearing and could lead to end of their career. Their insurance company will go crazy when they see this. Stop high risk activities, I don’t care how adorable it is. I lost my hearing in left ear with self cleaning so don’t come for me.

  26. Thanks, HB 🙏🏻

    I love watching them in content together you just can't help but laugh along with them. 😊

  27. I love that the BTS members are going for these more mature shows and can make adult jokes like any adults their age would make! As 30-something grown woman ARMY, it's refreshing to see them embrace the fact that they are grown men and that can and should be reflected in their music and public persona.

  28. baked eggs, not hard boiled, right? also, chan is a more endearing suffix, as you would call a child. san is the more formal 😊 this brought back memories of my mom cleaning my ears like this when i was a kid (like mr choo, my mom is a japanese born korean) 😭 it does feel really good.

  29. i first saw the host in Return of superman with his adorable daughter. They even had G dragon over for dinner in which Chu (CHoo) Sung Hoon cooked ! and provided a lovely cake. His wife is model I believe. I am glad to see him do an episode with JK and Jimin.

  30. Thank you so much for this informative review 💜

    But, just a correction: when they were inside the 2nd hottest sauna, it was Jimin who said the "salty sweat isn't great" not Jungkook 😅

    It is understandable that who said what gets mixed up when you only have captions to go on while doing the recording of the video. Anyways, this video was great and so are the other videos you make which give us great context to what the members say/do/post/mean 🤗

  31. 1:37 so this is how i find out he’s a former mma fighter? 😭 i also didn’t know he had an intimidating image cus he seemed so soft and innocent with jimin & jungkook 😂

  32. Jungkook and Jimin's chemistry is always spot on, never pretentious and definitely not staged. The show was hilarious and informative as well, I hoped it was longer though.

  33. Love how they were so comfortable and having fun especialy Jungkook since we know he tends to be very shy in interviews around other people other than his hyungs. Them turning everything into a game,Jimin's laughs 💜 and also them forgeting they were there to promote their album🤣🤣🤣
