K-pop giants BTS lifted the spirits of their fans worldwide when they appeared on a prime-time special episode of The Late Late Show Starring James Corden via video link from South Korea and performed their 2019 single, Boy With Luv.
Other artists appearing on Monday’s special episode, titled “Homefest”, included Billie Eilish and John Legend performing from Los Angeles, Dua Lipa performing from London and Andrea Bocelli performing from Italy.
Hosting the show from his garage, Corden encouraged viewers to follow the coronavirus guidelines set by the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and called for donations to two charities, Feed the Children and The CDC Foundation.
During the “Homefest” special, BTS fans – known as Army – made the hashtag #BTSONHomefest trend on Twitter – and flooded the social media site with comments such as: “Just remember we will all get through this together.”
Before the boy band performed, the band members shared messages of hope amid a pandemic that last week led to the postponement of their US concerts planned for this year.
