Suga, Jin, RM, J-Hope, V, and Jungkook shared the couch with Whoopi Goldberg, Jamie Dornan, Rosamund Pike and Harry Connick after their performance of "Idol".
The BTS ARMY may notice that the band's seventh member, Jimin, was missing from the appearance. As explained by BTS, Jimin's "muscles had seized up before the performance" and was suffering severe muscle pain in his neck and back. Jamie offered to fill in Jimin's spot in the band. Jungkook also sported some stitches on his heel to which RM said, "Happens, you know."

RM spoke about their success both at home in Korea and abroad, "We are very lucky to live in a time of social media but our sincerity in our music, performance and our ARMY's love, made it."
Upon being asked what BTS stands for by Graham, Jin says "BTS stands for 'Beyond The Scene' in English." J-Hope adds, " 'Bulletproof Boys Scout' in Korean." So if you didn't already know, that's what BTS means!

The band also talked about their appearance at the United Nations where RM gave an emotional speech on behalf of the band. He told Graham, "Life is full of dilemmas and we always have to have the pain inside. When the light comes we always have the shadows, which we can't avoid, but we should always find the way to love ourselves, especially the youth, who should be happy and live their life."

Whoopi Goldberg was so moved by his answer that she took off the shirt on her back and gave it to the band saying, "I'm giving you this to say thank you for all of the joy you're bringing - if you look closely, it (the fabric) is all about people and movement. Thank you."
Thank you indeed, BTS.
