The renowned K-pop group BTS made a recent appearance on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show, featuring members RM, Suga, Jimin, J-Hope, V, Jungkook, and Jin. However, their performance was overshadowed by a controversial remark made by the show's MC, Seth Herzog, which many viewers interpreted as a racist joke. This incident has sparked significant backlash on social media against both Seth and Jimmy.
As reported by a source close to TMZ, Seth Herzog has reached out to apologize to the BTS members regarding the incident. The controversial comment made during the show was, "Anybody here from the North? No? Nobody?" which was perceived as a reference to North Korea. Fans in attendance felt that this joke was directed at the members of BTS, particularly RM, Jimin, J-Hope, Suga, Jin, Jungkook, and V. Despite the backlash, neither Seth nor Jimmy has publicly addressed the issue further.
In other news, J-Hope and his fellow bandmates have made a triumphant return with their latest album titled ARIRANG, which features 14 tracks including Body To Body, Hooligan, FYA, Aliens, and SWIM. The album was launched on March 20, followed by a highly anticipated live performance at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, South Korea, as part of their Netflix concert.
After their concert, BTS expressed their heartfelt gratitude to their fans through a message from RM on WeVerse. He stated, "Thank you so much for believing in us unwaveringly and waiting for us all this time. The moment we heard your cheers filling the square, an overwhelming feeling washed over us: 'Ah, we've finally come back.' We were even more moved by how you all showed maturity and order, looking out for one another amid such a huge crowd, and enjoyed the performance." RM emphasized that the ARMY is their greatest source of pride and promised to continue creating music that resonates with their fans worldwide.
