BTS ARMY, mark 15 May on your calendars.
The K-pop superstars are set appear on Late Night With Stephen Colbert, with the TV host promising ‘something special’ for the boys.
On last night’s show, speaking to Jon Batiste, Colbert said: ‘You know that global supergroup BTS? Young men, seven… I’d love to have them on the show some time.’
He then announced: ‘Specifically I would like to have them on Wednesday May 15th, when they will be here at the Ed Sullivan Theatre to blow the lid, blow the dome off this place.
‘We’ve got something special planned for them here. We can’t say what it is, but it’s going to be something special.’

He then joked about The Beatles’ iconic 1964 performances on The Ed Sullivan Show, saying: ‘Imagine a boyband at the Ed Sullivan Theatre, something special… never been done before.’
Jon replied: ‘There was one prominent time in history’, before saying the band in question was the Rolling Stones.
It’s expected that BTS will perform a track from their new album Map Of The Soul: Persona, but no other details have been confirmed.
BTS have already appeared on a number of late night US talk shows including The Late Late Show with James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, as well as guesting on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and performing on Saturday Night Live.
This announcement comes after BTS made history by becoming the first Korean act to win Top Group at the Billboard Music Awards.
After winning Top Social Artist for the third year running, RM, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, Suga, V and J-Hope seemed shellshocked as they beat Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons, Dan + Shay and Panic! At The Disco to the prize.
RM said: ‘Thank you, ARMY. Still can’t believe we’re here on this stage with so many great artists, oh my God.
‘ARMY, this is only possible because of the little things we shared together. The BTS and ARMY power, right?
‘And we’re still the same boys from six years ago. We still have the same dreams. We still have the same feelings, we still have the same thoughts. So let’s keep dreaming the best dreams together. Thank you. I love you all.’
The band also performed their new song Boy With Luv with Halsey at the awards bash – as well as posing with a host of celebs, including Cardi B, Drake and Madonna.
