Mnet, a music television channel in South Korea, has announced that it will broadcast BTS’s official comeback show on Thursday, May 24. The news comes just an hour after BTS dropped their newest album called Love Yourself: Tear and their new music video for “Fake Love.”
According to Mnet, the Korean septet will perform five songs on the show, including their new single, “Fake Love,” which they will perform for the first time at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards this Sunday. The group will also perform new tracks “Airplane pt. 2” and “Anpanman,” as well as popular hits “Best of Me” from Love Yourself: Her and “Fire” from Wings.
