Watch: BTS and Stephen Colbert pay homage to The Beatles, Ed Sullivan with 'Boy with Luv' single BTSonLSSC
Stephen Colbert harked back to Ed Sullivan Wednesday on The Late Show, introducing South Korean smash hit boy band BTS in the style of the legendary television host.
At the start of the black-and-white segment, Colbert introduced the band in the style of Sullivan. “Ladies and gentlemen, now for the performance you have been waiting for by these fabulous young lads from Seoul—really impressed all of us here—performing their song ‘Boy with Luv’ from the EP Map of the Soul: Persona,” he said. “Ladies and gentlemen, BTS.”
The band’s Late Show appearance was a stop on their Love Yourself: Speak Yourself world tour, which has so far seen them perform in Los Angeles and Chicago. The group will hit New Jersey this weekend before traveling to Sao Paulo, London, Paris and, eventually Japan, according to their website. In the U.S., the song peaked April 27 at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 —the group’s best performance so far. Map of the Soul: Persona is the band’s third album to top the Billboard 200 chart in less than a year, the entertainment brand previously reported. Appropriately, as Billboard notes, they are the first group to achieve such a feat since The Beatles.
