[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
We're back with the biggest boy band in the world, BTS.
OK, you guys, I know it's very exciting.
There's the close proximity.
You taught yourself English?
Yes, I taught myself English.
How did you teach yourself English?
Actually, my English teacher was a sitcom, Friends.
Oh, you watched Friends?
[INAUDIBLE], yes.
So was it mainly just phrases then,
or you just learned everything?
I think, back in the days, like when I was like 15, 14.
Yeah.
It was quite like a syndrome for all the Korean parents
to make their kids watch the Friends.
Really?
So, yeah, I thought I was kind of like a victim at that time,
but right now, I'm the lucky one.
Yeah.
So.
Yeah.
Like, thanks to my mother, she bought all the other seasons
for DVDs.
Uh-huh.
It got 10 DVDs, right?
Right.
She bought me-- and so, firstly, I
watched with the Korean subtitle.
And then, next time, I watched it with the English subtitle.
And then, I just removed it.
That's very impressive.
And Friends would be very happy that you learned--
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
BTS, do you know this band?
This--
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
Right?
Yeah.
[INAUDIBLE]
Exactly.
Weren't you there that night in Dallas?
Yes.
When they're here, it is screaming
like, it must be insane the noise in there.
It was.
It was insane noise.
I mean, my son--
so they're South Korean.
And my sons walk around, that's months
before we went to go to this concert,
and he knows all the songs.
He's rapping Korean.
Yeah.
And so he wanted to go for his birthday.
We took a couple of his friends.
Camila and I went.
And we load up and we had a blast.
We didn't know.
We got out of our seats.
We got right down in the pit and broke a sweat dancing.
Wow.
Well, I can see that.
I can see you enjoying that.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Post Malone.
Oh, Post Malone.
[INAUDIBLE], call me please.
Woo.
We have to collaboration, let's go.
We want to collaborate with so many American artists.
Please call us, our company.
It's in Korea, though.
I hear the you are a huge K-pop fan.
And we have a picture, I believe,
of you one of the shows.
Oh yeah, I went to the show at the Rose Bowl.
Did you get--
[INAUDIBLE]
--something in your eye?
That's me at the show.
I was crying.
I am not ashamed of it.
You were moved by them.
I was super moved by them, because I was not
a fan going into that show.
My wife was a huge fan.
And I get there, the Rose Bowl, 90,000 people packed,
all different races, all different ages,
singing along to these Korean musicians and dancers.
And it was just really like, Oh my gosh.
Like, as a kid, I could never imagine something
like that happening.
And it was just, I cried.
Oh, come on.
Yeah.
And I got the dolls.
Wait, those are your dolls, not your daughter's?
No, those are not--
Those are you dolls?
Those are not my daughters nor my wife's, those are mine.
So where do we keep the dolls?
They are on a shelf.
Where though?
In our living room.
OK.
Oh so everyone can see when they walk in?
I'm not ashamed.
No, you shouldn't be.
I got some catch phrases and I really
want to learn how to say them in Korean.
So can you teach me?
Like how, what?
First one is snatching wigs.
Snatch and wigs?
Snatching wigs.
What does it mean, like snatch--
That means, like you all slaying right now.
So when you walk past all your fans,
you're snatching their wigs.
Oh!
OK, they can't handle it.
[SPEAKING KOREAN]
You did a remix of your hit, "Savage Love," with BTS.
Now, it's number one Billboard Hot 100.
Were you a BTS fan?
How did that come about?
I actually met them a couple of years ago.
And they walked up to me and they told me
how much they appreciate my work and whatnot.
And it was great, but I didn't know who
they were at that moment yet.
And then, later on, at that award show,
they were doing some kind of competition
between different fandoms.
And they were winning against, like Bieber and Ariana Grande.
I was like, this is serious.
Yeah.
And, yeah, a couple of years later, I mean,
we have this song together.
And I think it's amazing that to two different people from all
over the world, I mean you have Josh that's from New Zealand,
you have myself, American, and you have this massive K-pop
group, and you put them all together.
I think it's amazing.
So you learned English.
Last time you were here, you were telling me
you learned English by watching Friends.
Of course.
And then, you came on the lot and you surprised some fans
when you went to the set, right?
Yes.
Was it fun?
It was the real set.
Yeah.
So I was like sitting on the couch and, Rachel.
Yeah, Ross.
Wow.
So it was so fun.
Awww.
[INAUDIBLE]
Awesome.
Amazing.
Exciting.
Yeah, we did that.
Surprise!
Yeah, we done that.
That was so funny.
Funny.
[LAUGHTER]
We all go through ups and downs in life.
And I think, although I'm stuck in a dark void,
I am human after all.
And I was going through a pretty down period of my life.
It was about four years ago.
And I decided just to have a vulnerable moment
and put one of those thought-provoking journal
entries out on Twitter.
And four years ago, when I started this, a lot of them
were about self-love, because I was
going through that down period, realizing that I
didn't consider myself enough.
And, amazingly enough, talk about wonderful timing and just
being ready for an opportunity, the very popular group, BTS,
had just released an album called Love Yourself.
So I put out all these messages about self-love.
And I'm thinking this is not going
to be a good idea, because this big, larger than life,
16-time WWE Champion is now talking about vulnerability
and the fact that you are enough and you shouldn't
be ashamed of who you are.
But it caught fire, because of the BTS Army.
I was essentially sending a similar message of the band.
And this book, these books, exist
because the army was brave enough,
the BTS Army it was brave enough, to support
my vulnerable moment.
Your fans are called The Army.
Yes.
And do you have anything to say to your fans?
Well, depends on [SPEAKING KOREAN]
Oh.
Army, I love you.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
Who's your favorite member of BTS?
RM and J-Hope, because they're, like the lyricist guys.
I love, not only I love their fan base,
I think the BTS Army is unbelievable.
I love what they do philanthropically.
I love their message, but they're also emcees.
And they also, this is the hip-hop nerd in me,
they also rap to my style of hip hop,
like the 80s and 90s boom-bap stuff.
And it was cool to see them use some of those beats on outros
for their early albums.
And just J-HOPE and RM remind me--
Look at.
This guy Look at this guy.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
They're taking a break right now.
I wish them happy rest and hope everything's going well
for them.
Wow.
Well you all are wonderful.
I appreciate you being here.
You can go to Ellentube, you can watch another song from BTS
if you go to Ellentube.
And I also want to say--
[SCREAMING]
Wow.
Whoa.
Wow.
Oh.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
[INAUDIBLE]
Oh, my heart.
OK, watch.
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
Want to say--
[SCREAMING]
Oh, wow.
Whoa.
Wow.
[END PLAYBACK]
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
