'BTS' Performed On Stephen Colbert With Inspo From 'The Beatles,' And It Is Everything

I love many things in this world, but music is definitely at the top of my list. As a fan of both The Beatles and BTS, I freaked out when I saw this crossover on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert".

After The Beatles made their American television debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show," history was made. Colbert used this as inspiration for BTS's appearance, and it is something I didn't know I needed until I saw it.

The show began with a cold open of Colbert as Sullivan, who then let each member introduce themselves. From RM to Jungkook, each introduction was unique and allowed for all seven of them to shine.

This Colbert segment was nearly identical to the original segment on the Ed Sullivan's show. However, this isn't BTS's first performance broadcasted in America; their debut came in 2017 at the American Music Awards, but it was their first time on Colbert's show.

Stephen Colbert dressed up like Ed Sullivan while all seven of the members of BTS wore black suits. Their performance of "Boy With Luv", from their recent album, "Map of the Soul: Persona", was shown in black and white. In the background also sat a drum set like Ringo's, with BTS written in the iconic Beatles font.

As a fan of BTS, I have watched them perform "Boy With Luv" in their music video, on multiple late night shows, and on various South Korean music programs, such as M Countdown. Even though BTS's vocals and dancing are the same in each performance, Colbert's comparison of them to The Beatles' American debut was new and fun to watch.

With all their songs, I recommend that after listening, you go back and look up the English translation of the lyrics. Along with being incredibly catchy, the song tells how love is a strong force. The Korean title of the song, "작은 것들을 위한 시" translates to "Poems For Small Things" which explains the emotions within its lyrics.

I highly suggest watching this BTS performance on Stephen Colbert, as well as checking out their many others!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
