BTS Performs ‘Boy With Luv’ 

The guy in a suit is handsome

1. Thank you, Stephen Colbert for this Beatles-themed fantasy. 2. Tae came in STRONG!

When the time comes, BTS will return to us like a spring day

Hey! Anyone watching this in 2024, put your hand up

I love how Stephen decided to change the stage to make it look like the times when The Beatles were popular back than and performed at that theatre. It really feels like an honor to be an ARMY knowing BTS have been praised by many famous people and are compared to The Beatles which are fucking legends 😭😭

Watching this in 2024 !! Still legendary, still stellar . BTS 💜

I am 83 and wife is 67. We LOVE BTS. Army forever! Tour in 'bama soon please

Colbert show staffs really know how to do the work done. They didn’t mess up 1. the camera work 2. the interview by asking stupid questions 3. describing ARMYs by putting a guy fan in the middle of performance as opposed to calling ARMYs bunch of teenage girls. And last but not least, they seemed to have done the research and found out Singing In The Rain homage in the Boy in luv MV cause Beatles Analogy and this colorless BTS performance perfectly matched..💜💜💜 I am just saying..

Whoever came up with the idea of replicating Beatles concept for this performance is a real genius. I will give a full credit to the staffs of the colbert show. It is really amazing to see how BTS syndrome is accepted as simular as that of Beatles. They look fantastic and the performance was superb~!!💜

*JIMIN and the Boy held BTS Mania took the show*

I am waiting for their comeback as a group in 2025

I think Stephen Colbert's is the first American late show interview that BTS had where all seven of them spoke in complete English! This is just another testament to their work ethic and their desire to connect with their fans globally as well as understanding other cultures while sharing theirs.

Korean should be proud having them as one of their gem and treasure. If I see korean media do them sht, it's on sight

I may be 4 years late, but i absolutely love this performance. As a really big beatles fan, i love how they did an amazing tribute to The Beatles. BTS is really great and talented 💜💜

보편타당하고 상식적인 가치를 완벽한 탤런트를 가지고 진정성을 다해 노래하는 아름다운 젊은이들 너무 자랑스럽다. 이런 청년 예술가들이 국적이 한국이 아니었더라도 좋아했을것이다. 같은 지구인 중에서라도 이런 보물들이 나와 준게 다행인거고, 고맙게도 대한민국에서 나와서 더 기특하고 장하다.

Wow I am in awe of these seven fine men from South Korea.

이 노래를 듣는 사람들이 모두 행복했으면 좋겠습니다. 친구들은 존재 자체로 너무 소중한 사람들입니당~~ 엄청 많이 사랑해용~~ 한사람 한사람 모두 행복했으면 좋겠습니다.

Jin the show stealer. Couldn't take my eyes away from him God he is so attractive. He sounds so beautiful.

artists like bts and the beatles are born once in a century. if anyone is new to bts i highly recommend you check them out and look into their music, performances, musics messages, backstory etc. they had a speech at the UN and it’s truly inspiring. they face so much discrimination, prejudice and xenophobia but yet stay on top. this is what happens when are truly humble, hard working, and the best showmanship.

OMG, brilliant. I am from The Ed Sullivan era, and I am so impressed and proud of BTS. I haven't been so excited about music in along time. I have been following them for awhile and saw them in Chicago last weekend. I may be older, but I'm loving it.

I watched the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show in the '60s when they first became famous!!! I was a young girl then and loved them. Seeing BTS performing with the same look with the black and white screen and black suits was really fun!!! BTS you are sooo talented, thank you! I'm a baby Army now! !!! I purple you! BTS forever...👏

The bowl haircuts works for this Beatles look perfectly.

I'm not familiar with this show since I'm not from america but the host did a great job with the interview and looked like he genuinely likes them and the boys seemed so happy and comfortable thank you

I'm 46 yrs old man - l'm still 'BOY With LUV', and i give you two thumbs up!!!

as a big fan of beatles and bts, i’m the happiest now

V always have the best voice during any live performance 💜

Can't believe this is all live!! Their voices are truly amazing even with all that dancing

very classy, gotta love the fact they’re singing live AND dancing. at this point hating on them can’t be justified, i heard they also take part in writing and producing their songs. they’re nice guys and very sweet too. also they’re handsome, they’re the full package 👍

As a fan of The Beatles, I'm really impressed by this BTS and this tribute is amazing!!

These men are such astounding performers, singers, dancers. No matter where they are, huge stadium, crosswalks, studio stages or rehearsal rooms, they work so hard and are such professionals. Okay, they’re also sincere, warm, and fun-loving humans, which is what ARMY appreciates most 💜 Another stellar performance, and what a fantastic set idea. These Bangtan men did it again! 🫶🏼🙏🏼

In my 25 years of my existence I've never been a fangirl, I always listens to R&B and folk, but BTS is something different for my ears..

bruu.... i'm starting to think that a korean was behind this camara work... because so far it has been the best one that recorded one of the BTS performance in America...

I don´t know who to stare at. All of them dance so nice and synchronized.

Taehyung is so handsome in this.

People need to understand that they are not comparing their music to each other! Both have completely different sounds. The comparisons is between the impact that bts is doing right now to what The Beatles did in the 60s! Anyways, I love them both!

I'm not bts fan but now I might be, I just can't beleive how extremely talented these 7 boys , their vocals, dance moves are on point also the song is really a bop I'm just obssesed and btw I can tell BTS are legends as well as the Beatles I didn't expect that I can see legendary group like the B but with BTS now i see

how they can sing live and dance at the same time ??? like fr these mans got some serious talent

Omg!!! Jin’s high angelic voice,deep down voice and fire dance moves are out of this world!!! 🥺😍🤗💜💜💜💜💜 And Jin is looking so damn handsome and hot as always!!! 🥵🤤💜💜💜💜💜 I love you forever Jin!!! 😘😘😘💜💜💜💜💜

As a Beatlemanaic, It's amazing to see another band who inspire and impact millions if not billions of lives. I'm not really a BTS fan but they are like The Beatles in their early times. The Beatles changed my life with their music, and cured my depression. BTS is doing the same thing today with my generation. These guys are already legends. Peace and Love, and Love Yourself everyone! Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind words as well!!! Peace and Love!!!!

They are SO GOOD live even though they are dancing through the whole song? I'm impressed

BTS in suits! :) Jimin and Rm in a suit! :) Jimin in a suit! :) I liked this performance! :)

They are all elegant in black suit BTS thank you for sharing

watching this feels like watching something really important. the homage to the Beatles and the mimicing of the 60’s felt so nostalgic and I wasn’t even alive back then.

I (vaguely) remember seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. Classic. Now I'm watching a BTS tribute to those events - on RU-vid. A new classic. Totally lovin' BTS... and proud to be an ARMY.

Jimin ✨

Kim Namjoon Kim Seokjin Min Yoongi Jung Hoseok Park Jimin Kim Taehyung Jeon Jungkook BTS!!

really like the addition of the black and white filter it goes so well with the song vibe and the whole theme they were going for ! Colbert nailed it good job

This makes me so emotional I can't even explain it.. they started from NOTHING, they didn't have support from anyone but themselves and yet, driven by their passion for music they never stopped, and now they're here. Immensely proud is an understatement

That guy holding the "BTS Mania" card deserves my applause, really 👏

I'm a Beatlemaniac and this performance makes me an ARMY!💜💜💜

Boy bands from two different generations, singing in two different languages, from two different countries have fangirls with the same amount of energy on the same stage with a host on par with the late Ed Sullivan.

the camera work we all deserve, the best of all US tv premier show we've ever had

BTS are well loved by people of all ages. It's nice reading the comments. 🥰 They really bring us together

I watched the Beatles on Ed Sullivan as a young teen and BTS is the only group since the Beatles that has captured my undying loyalty. Their styles ARE different but their level of talent and universal appeal are quite similar. I’m just happy I found out about them and can enjoy their music. I turned my older sister into a fan too! We both wish them all the best - they deserve it!

Woaaah so suave and smooth! Who would've thought that BTS and 60s TV aesthetic go so well together? Then again, it's BTS, they always do top quality performances no matter the circumstances. I'm so proud! Thank you for inviting them Stephen!

Their presence is so organic and their sincere personalities are refreshing. I hope more people give them a chance. They clearly have so much to say. They’re making history.

Omg! At the end when he shook Jimin’s hand! Jimin’s face!!!!!💜💜💜 love you BTS!

Wow. Is this a nod to The Beatles?? It took me a second for it to dawn on me! 🤣

who is BTS? a group that write and sing about social issues like glass ceiling, oppression, loneliness, hope, self love and being the voice for youth they started 6 years ago and climbing up step by step.

As a teenage self, I was a hardcore Beatles fan. As a 30+ year old, I am a hardcore BTS fan. Watching this is like worlds colliding in the best possible way!

Jimin as always awesome

I'm 37. My 15 year old daughter showed me the light that is BTS. I'm in love. My 8 and 11 year old daughters love them as well. Oh, and my 13 year old son thinks they're cool 😎, so there's that, too.

I love how this generation is easily breaking through and standing up for diversity and inclusion. Music really transcends language, it speaks to your heart. Thank You. I love The Beatles and I love this group too, few things, The Beatles received criticisms when they were starting too, but their music lived forever. I'm sure this group's music will live forever too..

As a Beatles' and BTS' fan, I am impressed by whoever came up with this idea. Classy and respectful. Plus, BTS always deliver. Thank you!

BTS in The Beatles style ❤😭 I love it so much 😭❤

Love BTS..Mature member of the ARMY....As a kid we always watched The Ed Sullivan Show. Remember Ed introducing The Beatles!...How fun this tribute is.

I’ve heard a lot about them & after seeing their UN speech, it’s clear that these guys stand for a lot more than meets the eye & they’re continuously using their platform to make a difference. i like that. it’s nice to see Americans of all ages accept them & their music even though it’s not a European language. they’re changing the scene, that’s what every iconic artist should do.

As a Korean who grew up listening to Beatles songs, I am really proud of Bts.

BTS are my pride, i'm so so proud to be an Army. BTS are breaking Beatles records. They aren't the next Beatles , they are BTS, they made their own name, they are the next greatest band of this century.

The guys in suit take our breath away

Loved the beatles reference. Same set as Beatles when they first performed in the states.

Whoever came up with this idea from the Late Show deserves a standing ovation. It was in so many layers symbolic, a mix of so many cultures and different generations, and the final picture was aesthetically so pleasing.

This is iconic ❤

thank you for honoring the Beatles i love you even more it looks so beautiful . Just as I madly loved the Beatles i love you today

I just want people to understand how huge this is. They're Asian. They're not white, they don't sing in English... yet they're achieving all these things. Selling physical albums in the digital era, selling out stadiums (MetLife, Rose Bowl, Soldier Field, Wembley...). These Korean kids are doing the unimaginable

BTS are a major pop culture event that is here to stay! Charismatic and talented with great social commentary and meaning in their korean lyrics, the most exciting thing to happen to the mainstream in a LONG time

the black and white is such a nice touch.

Their dance woooow, i am obsessed with their BOY WITH LUV song they r singing live wooow they r indeed cool and multitalented💜😘😘

I don't know if anyone will see this but for those of you who aren't familiar with BTS or this song let me explain what Boy With Luv is actually about because it has a lovely meaning that I think captures their sincerity very well. So first and foremost it's a love song, that much was obvious, but it's what it means to BTS that I feel is so important because in simplest terms, this is a song about ARMYs (their fans). To provide some context, i'm sure you can imagine a korean group singing in their native language would have experienced many barriers and hardships in the western market. They have not only been discriminated against but constantly pressured to conform to appeal to a wider audience at the expense of their artistic integrity. Not just that but even from their own country they are constantly pressured to meet unbelievable expectations and their every move is scrutinised. This is accumulated to have a pretty severe affect on their mental health to the point they almost considered disbanding, thankfully they managed to persevere and have reached a point where they can comfortably reject all pressures, criticisms and prejudices. This album 'Map of The Soul: Persona' is inspired by Carly Jung's theories on individual psyche and this album and song in particular emphasises 'persona' (individuality). So this song is also a rejection of all these criticisms to act a certain way and make music a certain way to cater to people because they want to embrace their own individuality, they don't want to sacrifice it just to please a wider audience. It's cause of the fans constant support of this that they have been able to reject that. They have said themselves that this song (along with the album) is dedicated to their fans and if you look at some of the lyrics you can understand why: "I’m flying high up in that sky with the two wings that you gave me then" "They say, I, who used to so small, became a hero (Oh nah) I say, things like destiny were never mine from the beginning (Oh nah) The world’s peace (No way) Some grand rules (No way) Just going to protect you, I am" "with Icarus’ wings that you gave me, I’d fly to you, not the sun" These pretty accurately convey how their priority has always been about their fans and not feeling the need to live up to certain expectations or cater to a certain audience etc. BTS took this sentiment and how they have been able to endure everything because of the support and love from their fans and turned it into a love song. The korean title is actually called 'a poem for small things' and in various parts they talk about wanting to know trivial petty parts of the person's life because this is what they consider 'true love'. So.... to them the support and love their fans gave them was so powerful it helped them through everything and that sentiment is what they consider 'true love'. google 'doolset boy with luv lyrics' if you want a better explanation!

As a fanboy and after the whole SNL and GMA thing I'm super happy they showed that one fanboy in the audience with nicely gelled hair

It's nice that they also put the famous Ringo drums😂🥺

Legends

I dont know a black and white video can be this colorful Omg i was shocked i got 1.6K likes?!? For god sake thx guys Omg 2k likes!?!?

I'm sitting here trying to comprehend the magnitude of what's happening here. They're singing in KOREAN, performing in homage to the BEATLES........?????!!!! It wouldn't be a lie, BTS has ruled this century !!👑👑👑

Bro, The Beatles are my fav band but I'm also an Army, and this performance is a dream for me.

BTS MAKING HISTORY AROUND THE WORLD

I love the fact that no one is comparing Beatles and BTS in the comment section, I love you armys.

United Nations, Billboard music awards, american music awards, Ellen, graham norton, corden, kimmel, fallon, saturday night livex gma summer concert headliners, grammy museum interview, Americas got talent, the voice, New years rockin eve, and late show with Colbert. Tell me...WHO ELSE IS DOING IT LIKE BTS ?!?!?

Jimin's performance really stands out for me in this one!

Jimin ur moves.. Fabulous✨

this camerawork is so much better than GMA´s or even BBMA´s. thank you

I'm glad that Stephan constantly called bts *"Global Superstars"* and not simply *"Korean Boyband"* . He made me realise that I stan the correct talk show💜

Seokjin the king of live stage

South Korea is kicking ass in every way imaginable -- excellent cars & SUVs, the K-pop scene, BTS, and the MAJOR advantage over America is their NATIONWIDE HIGH-SPEED INTERNET ACCESS, which the Republican Party has fought against since day one.

An absolutely fantastic homage to The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. Beautifully done.

Just 6 years ago, bts was begging people on the streets to come to their concerts. After years of hard work and dedication, they're now known internationally and are even being compared to the Beatles. They did it. They really did it 💜

La reacción de Jimin al final super cute 😍🥰

Let's go, BTS forever!
