On Tuesday, November 14th, K-Pop phenomenon BTS stopped by The Late Late Show With James Corden to perform Billboard Hot 100 hit “DNA.” The seven-piece boyband made the appearance just hours after landing in Los Angeles, California.
While their performance won’t be aired on television until a later date, host James Corden gave fans a sneak peak on Twitter with two short video clips.

Bang Shi Hyuk, the CEO of BTS’ agency Big Hit Entertainment, also posted a few text messages between himself and BTS. In the texts, the guys talk about how nice James Corden was to them, and how he really made them feel welcomed. They also talked about how excited the fans were to see them perform and play a game with Corden. According to the texts, it seems that the group played Corden’s “Flinch” game, where he throws fruit through a cannon, trying to make his guests flinch. Many celebrities have played the game in past episodes, including Harry Styles, Fifth Harmony, Victoria Beckham, and others.
