BTS Week continues with vibrant 'HOME' performance on The Tonight Show; John Cena applauds the group and ARMY 

Earlier this week, BTS Week kicked off on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with two stunning performances. The second day consisted of a vibrant set whilst bringing back the 'Home' track from their April 2019 EP 'Map Of The Soul: Persona'.

BTS Week continues with vibrant 'HOME' performance on The Tonight Show; John Cena applauds the group and ARMY 

"The performance was pre-recorded in Seoul and the set gave homely and cozy feels. Dressed in pyjamas, shorts and comfy clothing, the seven members of BTS - RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook - were crooning the beautiful song while showcasing their vocals. The whole performance looked like the music video the fans deserved it. The song narrates the story of the septet who call ARMY their home and turn to in any circumstance. The sentiment reflects in the lyrics - 'That place is probably Mi Casa / With you I'mma feel rich (yeah) / That place is no other than Mi Casa /  Turn it on, your switch (switch) Yeah'."

The first in-person guest to attend the show was John Cena who spoke eloquently about the group who he genuinely loves to listen to. Speaking about them, John told Jimmy Fallon, "I first got interested in their music, and then I got interested in what their music stood for."

"How they conduct themselves as human beings and the message they send to the world. Man, that’s something special," he added. "I don’t care how you feel about them, I don’t care if you don’t get it, it’s music, you can like what you like, but how they conduct themselves as human beings and the message they send out to the world? Man, that’s something special."

John Cena further spoke about how BTS donated $1 million to Black Lives Matter and how their fandom BTS ARMY matched the group's donation within 24 hours. "They've developed this global ARMY that's not just geeked-out fans.
BTS donated $1M to Black Lives Matter and the ARMY was like 'if they can do it, we can do it.' As an artist, if we can resonate through the TV to you at home to give to a cause...that's WORK...that's PURPOSE."

BTS topped Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks in a row, making them the first Korean act ever to achieve this feat. They reclaimed the No. 1 spot on Monday, September 28 after spending the last weeks on the second position.  The group has created history with 'Dynamite' as debuted at No. 1 on Hot 100, Billboard Global 200, and the second week at No. 1 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S as well. They become the first-ever act to rule all three charts simultaneously.

The group has announced their next studio album titled 'BE (Deluxe Edition)'. Taking to their official platform called Weverse, the statement read, "'BE (Deluxe Edition)' contains the most 'BTS-esque' music yet. The latest story from BTS begins by declaring that 'even in the face of this new normality, our life goes on' and imparts a message of healing to fans and to the world."

'BE (Deluxe Edition)' will drop on Friday, November 20 at 2 pm KST (10:30 am IST).
