The famed popular band, BTS made their debut on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night. This also happened to be the Korean band's first ever appearance on US television. Interestingly, this was not just another talk show appearance for the band considering they transformed the Ed Sullivan theatre where the talk show is shot into a 1964 setup, only to wow us with a performance on a Beatles number. The K-Pop band paid a tribute to the legendary British band by performing on 'Hey Jude' and this has left their fans in a frenzy. BTS Makes K-Pop History by Presenting at the Grammy’s; BTS Army Go Gaga over Korean Boys’ Debut.
The boy-band even managed to emulate the band's look as members Jungkook, Jimin, V, Suga, Jin, RM and J-Hope — rocked looks similar to the John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. Running high on nostalgia, this was a special moment because it was the same venue where The Beatles first made their US Television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. Stephen Colbert himself too dressed for this occasion as he donned a similar get up to Sullivan.
Watch their performance here:
Ever since a video of the episode has hit the social media, fans have been going crazy over this Beatles tribute. Here are some of the fan reactions for the same.
