BTS's 'Black Swan' choreography and cute hide and seek moments on James Corden show melt fans' hearts
BTS performed 'Black Swan' for the first time live on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and fans can barely contain themselves!
The choreography featured influences from modern dance, which the boys performed dressed in all-black and barefoot. While the choreography and BTS's outfits drew in a lot of comments, such as this user who said: "YALL ARE GONNA DIE AT THE CHOREO AND JUNGKOOK AND JOON WORE TRANSPARENT SHIRTS. I WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW OH MY GOD YALL ARE GONNA DIE". Many took time to appreciate Corden and his team for the amount of effort they put in to the show.
Some highlighted the fact that Corden did a much better job than the Grammy organizers. One user said, "james corden deada** did everything grammys refused to, applauds to him he deada** gave bts the shot to express their full creativity with that stage it was f***ing amazing," to which another user responded, "AND THE CAMERA WORK! AND THE MIC MIXING!! HE DID IT ALL RIGHT!"
Users were also quick to point out how respectful Corden was, saying "corden gave bts a SET. corden made the skits accessible so bts could participate. corden didn’t make misogynistic and “crazy” comments about fans. corden asked fun questions and encouraged everyone to speak. THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN BY PROMO."
This is in contrast with previous interviews, such as the highly-criticized one on Ellen where BTS talked of 'hooking up' with their fans, something many fans thought was culturally inappropriate. BTS themselves have joked about the comment in later interviews.
Many users also spoke about how relaxed BTS seemed, and how happy they were to be able to speak in English and participate in all the segments.
Others also shared how well taken care of ARMYs were as they waited for BTS to take the stage. One user said, "James Corden himself gave ARMYs cupcakes who are currently in line for the Late Late Show."
ARMYs are so happy, they've decided to return the kindness Corden bestowed on them in a heartwarming way: "So James Corden treats BTS and ARMY always so kindly and makes everyone feel welcomed at his show. There is a charity called @magic_breakfast that he supports. Maybe we could donate there to say thank you!"
Users also shared some adorable interactions between BTS and Corden, such as this one of them dancing together and this one of Corden holding Yoongi's hand. The final segment which featured BTS hiding while Corden and Ashton Kutcher played seekers was a fan favorite. One user tweeted, "BTS HIDE N SEEK WAS SO CUTE / JIMIN GOT FOUND FIRST UNDER THE TABLE AND ASHTON CARRIED HIM TO HIS CHAIR / AND THEN TAEHYUNG WAS PRETENDING HE WAS STRUMMING THE GUITAR WHEN HE WAS WAITING / AND THEN NAMJOON HID BEHIND A CURTAIN?????"
Some fans were wondering where the Carpool Karaoke segment was, since there were many hints dropped about it in the days leading up to this episode. Perhaps we'll be treated to some more footage in the next few days? Only time will tell!
