On Monday night, BTS followed Fallon’s usual monologue with a spectacular rendition of “Dynamite” with Fallon and The Roots. Due to the pandemic, members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook performed remotely in front of colorful backgrounds.
BTS closed the show with a performance of their 2018 hit “IDOL,” from the album Love Yourself: Answer. The pre-recorded live footage showcased the band in front of Geunjeongjeon Hall of the Gyeongbok Palace in Seoul. The band members were each wearing the traditional Korean hanbok giving it their modern twist. With blue spotlights and a vast harvest moon, BTS gave their fans an unforgettable and outstanding performance.
For their second night, the band performed their song “Home” from their EP Map of the Soul: Persona. This time Jimin starts the performance with a more intimate feel as the camera follows him inside an aesthetically pleasing home.
The performance proves to be a masterpiece of illusion with a blue hue scheme.
