The bandmates of BTS tried animation dubbing in the 109th episode of “Run BTS!”

Voice actor Ahn Ji-hwan was invited to the show as their teacher, as none of them other than Suga had prior experience with dubbing. Suga did voice work for “Burn the Stage: The Movie.” As soon as the teacher introduced himself to the band, they were astonished by how familiar his voice was.

Their first assignment was to dub a scene in “Lion King.” After they discussed whose voice would be most appropriate for the characters, J-Hope took on main lion villain Scar, while the parts of the hyena henchmen were played by Jin as Banzai, RM as Ed and Jimin as Shenzi.

Jimin felt intimidated at first because he had too many lines. “My role is too heavy. I’m in trouble,” laughed J-Hope.
When they began dubbing however, they did their best to sound professional and read the lines successfully. Jimin and Jin demonstrated great teamwork as they exchanged multiple lines with one another.

V and Suga were not assigned any roles that time and observed from the back, immersed in the others’ acting.

Their second assignment was a scene from “Toy Story,” followed by another from “Zootopia.”

Super Junior visits Shindong’s new home

(Naver’s V Live)

In “SJ Returns,” the 26th episode of season four, Super Junior visited Shindong, who had recently moved to a new place.

Leeteuk called Shindong before going over and asked if he was ready. “I heard your house is very grandiose,” said Leeteuk.

Shindong denied the allegation and asked the bandmates what they’d like to eat since he wanted to cook for them. The band shouted how they wanted delivery instead -- Korea’s version of Chinese food that people usually eat on moving days.

The rest of the band hopped in the van together to head over. Yesung took selfies on the way, as the others teasingly accused him of only taking pictures with subunit K.R.Y, preferring the vocal unit instead of the whole group.

“I heard people who take a lot of selfies have a narcissistic streak,” commented Kyuhyun.

The bandmates each drew portraits of Lia in five minutes. Afterward, Lia played the role of judge and chose her favorite drawing, the owner of which received a small gift as a reward.

“Our members do everything with passion,” chuckled Lia, as the group started to prepare their tools passionately and draw with utmost concentration.

While reading comments on V Live, Lia explained she spent the day in the practice room with the group. “They tried to make me laugh as much as possible for my birthday, so I had a very nice day. And I was touched when I read their Instagram posts about me,” she said.

“Your birthday didn’t end yet because my gift is waiting for you at our home,” said Yuna.

“Mine too. Mine got delivered today,” added Ryujin.
