Is 'Run BTS' a diss track?

Ever since the Tracklist 2 of BTS' upcoming album 'Proof' dropped, fans have been theorizing about what the unreleased songs on the album would be like. The track 'Run BTS' is particularly special for fans of the boy group because it is the title of the boy group's long-running variety show, 'Run BTS!' where the boys are seen engaging in competitive games to win petty prizes like a rice cooker or food coupons. Fans have been watching the show for years and have been loving the interactions between BTS members.

The title of the track went viral on Twitter as fans hoped to see BTS' maknae, Jungkook join the rap line of BTS namely, Suga, J-Hope and RM as he was listed in the credits for the song with the trio. Over the years, BTS has released quite a few diss tracks, all of which were rap songs or songs from the hip-hop genre. From 'Ddaeng' to 'BTS Cypher' as well as 'Mic Drop', all BTS diss tracks are fan-loved which is why fans have begun speculating whether the upcoming single, 'Run BTS' too is going to be a diss track.

'Run BTS' reported to be unfit for broadcast on TV

On June 8 a post went viral on Twitter as one fan said, "OH DAMNNNNN. The credits and broadcasting qualification of PROOF are here!!! Run BTS and Born Singer have been reported as unfit to be broadcasted (due to swear words)" The tweet included an image which showed the credits and broadcasting qualifications for four tracks from BTS' upcoming album, 'Proof'. With songs like 'For Youth', 'Born Singer', 'Yet To Come', and 'Run BTS' on the list, the image showed that out of these four, only the lead single, 'Yet To Come' was qualified for TV broadcast. 

The single, 'For Youth' was left to be under review while the tracks 'Born Singer' and 'Run BTS' were deemed "unqualified" for broadcasting on television as they contained swear words. This had fans instantly wondering if the single would be a diss track as it was not habitual for BTS members to curse on songs unless it was to diss their trolls and haters like all the 'BTS Cypher' songs Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4, 'Whailen 52', 'Savage Love', 'Mic Drop' (Steve Aoki Remix) as well as 'INTRO: Never Mind'.

'It already songs so hot'

Nevertheless, fans have already made up their minds as they claim 'Run BTS' to be a diss track and now, their new fan anthem. One fan said, "BORN SINGER?!?!? ALSO RUN BTS AKSHAKSHSJS WHAT IF ITS A HIP HOP TRACK?? DISS TRACK???" One more fan said, "RUN BTS is unfit for broadcast because of the swear words,, yo is it a diss track?" One fan said, "RUN BTS NOT FIT FOR BROADCASTING ASDJDKFLFLK. IF THIS IS A DISS TRACK OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO MIC DROP OR CYPHER OMG." One fan guessed, "Run BTS!' have a swearing, slang, and expressions. what if its a diss track? omg." One more fan said, "WDYM RUN BTS HAS SWEARING IN IT GOODBYE WHAT IF IT'S A HIP HOP SONG OR A DISS SONG, WHATEVER THE F**K IT IS IT ALREADY SOUNDS SO HOT."

One fan said, "This got me thinking that maybe "Run BTS!" is a diss track..." Another fan said, "Now if run bts turns out to be a diss track." One more fan said, "Watch Run BTS be a diss track y'all we're gonna pop our asses." One more fan said, "RUN BTS GONNA BE A DISS TRACK LESSGOOO." One fan said, "Run Bts song has swearing lyrics... omg will it going to be a diss song????" One fan stated, "SO RUN BTS IS LIKE A DISS SONG HUH." One fan theorized, "And since some said that Run BTS might be a diss and rap song, what if hobi will perform it there and have bts as his guests." Another fan concluded, "Run bts def a diss track I'M SAT."
