The South Korean boy band BTS put on a display on the streets of Los Angeles on Tuesday in support of their hit single Butter. The seven-member band, in a collaboration with CBS late-night host James Corden, was seen at the crossing of Genesee Avenue and Beverly Boulevard near CBS’s famed Television City complex, donning black and yellow suits.
The K-pop sensation was flanked by people holding up letters of signs that spelled out the title ‘Butter,’ with back-up dancers dressed as pancakes and pats of butter, with some jumping on trampolines. The musical group, consisting of members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook respectively, was also spotted in another sequence donning different colored coats with their suits while dancing in the street.
Meanwhile, Corden was seen in a black T-shirt with blue jeans, white sneakers, and a pair of headphones as he touched base with the band. BTS is in the Los Angeles area as they are scheduled to play a series of shows on their Permission to Dance tour. Their schedule includes four shows at SoFi Stadium with adjacent broadcasts at the YouTube Theater and a scheduled appearance at the Forum for the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball.
The Korean pop group was seen out as 2022 Grammy nominations were announced, racking up a nomination for pop group performance for Butter. They are nominated against a field including Coldplay (Higher Power), Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga (I Get a Kick Out of You), Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco (Lonely), and Doja Cat and SZA (Kiss Me More). However, the pop band ensemble is coming off an impressive showing at the American Music Awards this past Sunday, as it was named artist of the year against a field that included Drake, Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd.
Meanwhile, BTS group leader RM said of the victory, “Seven boys from Korea, united by love for music, met the love and support from all the armies all over the world. This whole thing is a miracle. Seriously, we would never take this for granted.” BTS also won the honors for favorite pop duo or group, as well as a favorite pop song for Butter at the event, which was held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
