BTS on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon': Date, time, how to watch 2-day takeover event

BTS to perform their upcoming track on NBC talk show 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'

With the release of their latest English single ‘Butter’ and their upcoming song ‘Permission To Dance’ on July 9, BTS is busier than ever. From participating in fashion shows to award shows and interviews, the seven-member boy group has been appearing at several events. Their latest gig happens to be on NBC’s tonight talk show, 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'. But it won’t be a simple interview and performance. 

The Jimmy Fallon show has always gone out of its way to make things interesting for the boys from interviewing them on a subway to having them perform at New York’s Grand Central Station. Well, the standard has increased and we wonder what the boys will do this time. It should be noted that it has been announced that BTS will be participating in a two-day takeover event on the show where they’ll also perform ‘Butter’ and what will become their latest single, ‘Permission To Dance’ since the show will be aired after its release.

Other promotional events

The Jimmy Fallon show has just been one of the several many shows BTS has headlined for promoting their newest singles. They have been booked and busy for all kinds of appearances. Fans couldn’t believe it when the boys were invited to watch and participate in Louis Vuitton’s newest fashion show as the boys were looking very dashing in the Men's Fall/Winter '21 collection. 

A day later, BTS also had an interview with Amazon Music where they spoke about their future plans. They felt the love of the fans as they talked about ‘Butter’ staying on Billboard for three weeks straight and why their 8th year as a group felt so meaningful. Since there has been a seven-year curse for most K-pop groups as they disband after the end of their contracts, BTS was glad that they could stick together. They hope to stay together for many more years and joked that they would then become the 'Bangtan Papas'.

Fans react

On hearing about the takeover event, one fan tweeted, “WHAT IS BREATHING??? WE DONT KNOW HER IN THE ARMY HOUSEHOLD.” Another Army tweeted, “Yeeehaaaawwww!!! I am READDDDDYYYYYYYYYY!!” One fan tweeted, “Super excited to see my favs together Let the party start.” Another fan noticed something fun in the boys' announcement video, “Everytime i see them; one or more hair color changes hahahaha.”
