BTS will appear on back-to-back episodes of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Mar. 25 and 26, marking their first U.S. late-night TV appearance as a full group since 2021.
NBC confirmed that RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook will join Fallon in the New York studio for an interview and two separate performances spread across the two nights.
The interview and first song are set to air on Wednesday, Mar. 25, with a second song following on the March 26 broadcast. "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" airs at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and becomes available for streaming the next day on Peacock.
The booking coincides with the release of BTS's new studio album "ARIRANG," which is scheduled to arrive on Mar. 20, according to Soompi.
A global live special titled "BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG" will stream on Netflix on Mar. 21, followed by the documentary "BTS: THE RETURN" on Mar. 27. The two-night late‑night stint is timed to keep the group's comeback visible across broadcast and streaming platforms during the same week.

BTS previously appeared together on "The Tonight Show" during a multi-night takeover in 2021, which featured hits such as "Butter" and "Permission to Dance" and drew significant online viewership, Money Control reported.
In the years since, individual members have visited the show separately to promote solo releases and other projects. The upcoming episodes represent their first collective late‑night appearance since completing mandatory military service in South Korea.
Guest lineups for the two shows will include Ariana DeBose on Mar. 25, with Chris Pratt and Charlie Day scheduled for the Mar. 26 episode alongside BTS's second performance.
The programs will be taped before a live audience at Studio 6B in Rockefeller Center, the regular home of Fallon's late-night show. The appearance was announced through an NBC press release and amplified on "The Tonight Show" and Fallon's official social media accounts, as well as posts from BTS fan communities, as per Broadway World.
