AceShowbiz - Jungkook of BTS (Bangtan Boys) just got his dream come true when his group took the stage at the 2018 MBC Plus x Genie Music Awards on Tuesday, November 6. The South Korean group joined forces with Charlie Puth for a stripped-down rendition of their hit "Fake Love".
The youngest member of the group opened their performance by having a short conversation with the 26-year-old singer, talking about their favorite songs of each other. Other members of the group only appeared after Jungkook started singing the song, with Puth playing the musical keyboard.

The 21-year-old singer took the lead during the set, with the "How Long" singer singing in falsetto. "We don't talk anymore/ Like we used to do," they harmonize. "We don't laugh anymore/ What was all of it for?/ Oh, we don't talk anymore."
After the set, Puth took to his Twitter account to say, "This was fun. Thank you." BTS also shared on the micro-blogging site an image of them posing with the "Attention" hitmaker.
