Jimin, J-Hope, don bunny hats at airport

Jimin, J-Hope and V of BTS turned up at an airport in cute bunny hats Friday, apparently carrying out a “punishment” task as set out on web variety show “Run BTS!”

The septet arrived at Gimpo International Airport for a chartered flight to Fukuoka, Japan, where the act is scheduled to perform concerts Saturday and Sunday.

On V Live, local media outlet Dispatch released a video capturing the band’s arrival at the airport as well as the trio standing in front of the media line and moving their rabbit ears by squeezing the attached rabbit paws.

On “Run BTS!” the band likes to play games together where they are divided into two teams, typically with the losing team receiving penalty.

Though V looked like he could not stand the embarrassment, Jimin and J-Hope tried to play it cool.
