- We are backstage at the Billboard Music Awards with BTS!
- [Everyone] BTS!
- Congratulations, you've just won top duo/group, yes.
- We did it!
- [Rest of The Group] Yeah!
- Respect for the first time ever.
- Amazing.
- Yeah, it's the main category.
We did top social artist for, like, three years,
but main category is the first time, so.
Everybody's, like--
- Everyone's freaking out right now?
- Everyone's freaking out, yeah.
- Are you still processing it right now?
Are you still trying to figure out,
how did that happen, what happened?
- We are trying to figure out what's happening.
There were, Imagine Dragons, Dan + Shay.
There were amazing names,
Maroon Five was in it, and you know.
- BTS, baby.
- Yeah, thank you, armies, you did it.
You guys did it.
- All right, so lots to talk about.
You just released a new album, Map of the Soul Persona,
debuted at number one,
on the Billboard 200 Chart, that's right.
Third number one in less than a year.
The last group to do that, The Beatles.
How does that feel to have your name mentioned
in the same breath as The Beatles?
- I mean, Beatles is Beatles forever, right?
The name is the biggest, and the hugest,
so you know, this is an honor,
we, we, we, we, we just still,
when we heard it, we just hear the
same words when we go to Britain.
We were like, no!
We were really humble, we're just BTS
and we respect The Beatles and we're all fans of Beatles.
- You have a favorite Beatles song?
- Hey Jude, for me.
- All right, so can you sing it?
- No, I'm a rapper. (laughs)
- Let's get the piano, let's get the piano out.
- I need a piano!
- Do others have favorite songs?
- Oh, like a Beatles?
♪ Let it be, let it be, oh let it be. ♪
And it's not The Beatles song,
but John Lennon's Imagine, that's a classic.
- All right, there's so much else going on.
The new tour is about to start.
Are they, sort of an extension of the last tour?
You're playing the Rose Bowl, two nights.
There's gonna be, I think, five, 10 million people there,
kind of kidding.
How does it feel to play to
such enormous crowds in America right now?
- (speaks in foreign language)
So, you know, we just did a Ziegfeld show,
just one show, last year.
We made it into a picture, big picture
and framed it and there it is,
on our label building, the Ziegfeld.
And now this time, it's Rose Bowl.
You know, singing in Korean, in Rose Bowl Stadium,
we still can't imagine it.
- It's crazy.
- It's crazy, it's just crazy.
We're freaking out!
We got top duo and group in Billboard Music Awards
and a few days later, we--
- Playing the Rose Bowl.
- Is the show gonna be any different
from the last set of shows that just wrapped in April?
- We got some new songs, and of course, new clothes
and new equipments of course-- - Of course.
- For the show.
- It's gonna be amazing. - It's gonna be stronger.
- Now two years ago, at the BBMAs,
you met Halsey for the first time.
- Right.
- And now tonight, you are performing with Halsey.
- Yeah, real soon.
- Real soon, I know we gotta get you going, in a little bit.
But who are you looking forward to, say,
I don't know, meeting tonight
and trying to do a collaboration with?
- (speaking in foreign language)
- Mariah, Madonna?
- We just met Drake.
- Drake!
- We finally took a picture,
we just made it, and Jae Ho was in In My Feelings,
music video for the challenge--
- Oh that's right! - Yeah, so we are--
- ♪ Thank you, do you love me ♪
- We are all fans of Drake.
- And of course, Madonna and Mariah, they're the legends.
Tori Kelly, I know Tori,
and of course, our friend Colio.
They're the biggest name in music industry right now.
- You have achieved so much in the past few years.
What is left on your list of accomplishments,
what do you want to do next?
I mean, you've had hits on the hot 100,
and three number one albums,
you're playing stadiums, you've made
such amazing music that's influenced so many people.
What is left for you to do next?
- I think we gotta think
we achieve more than even what we deserve.
Thanks to the armies around the world.
So we just want to keep it light.
I think it feels like we're on a roller coaster.
What we gotta do is enjoy the ride,
take a deep breath, and do the best
performance and the songs, that's all we could do.
- That's the best you can ask for.
- Yeah.
- BTS, everybody, congratulations.
- [All Together] Thank you!
