It lights up like dynamite.
BTS took over the Guggenheim Museum in New York City on Wednesday for a secret “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” performance.
Page Six confirmed that the boy band, whose members include RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, performed two songs from their new album “Arirang,” “SWIM” and “2.0.”
BTS is scheduled to appear on a late-night talk show on Wednesday, and this will be the group’s first interview since their reunion in four years.
One of the band’s performances at the Guggenheim Museum will be premiered during the episode, and the second will air during Thursday’s episode.
In order to keep the concert a secret, nearly 200 fans were bussed from 30 Rockefeller Plaza to the Upper East Side Museum, and I heard that their cell phones were even taken.
For “2.0,” audiences lined up on the Guggenheim Museum’s spiral ramp, then moved to cushions on the floor to create a more intimate atmosphere for “Swim.”
Fans who couldn’t get inside lined up outside 30 Rock to catch a glimpse of BTS.
Host Jimmy Fallon was also on hand to introduce the band.
The KPop group’s early morning adventure comes a week after online speculation that a surprise concert would be held in Manhattan.
The internet knew something was happening, but fans incorrectly assumed it would take place in Times Square.
Jungkook previously performed there for the debut of his 2023 solo album “Golden.”
In addition to their new album and press tour, the group’s Netflix documentary “BTS: The Return” will premiere Friday.
However, the Guggenheim Museum was not the band’s first concert after reforming. Last Saturday, BTS performed together for the first time since October 2022 in a livestream concert on Netflix.
The performance drew 18.4 million viewers worldwide, according to the streamer.
The free concert was held at Gwanghwamun Square and was attended by more than 100,000 people.
Fans are excited that BTS has reunited after taking a hiatus to complete military service.
The group also ceased activities in 2019.
