- March 19, 2026
AceShowbiz - BTS is making a highly anticipated return to late-night television with a special two-episode appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. NBC announced on Wednesday, March 18, that the global sensation will appear in back-to-back episodes to celebrate the release of their upcoming album, ARIRANG.
The first episode, scheduled for Wednesday, March 25, will feature all seven members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—joining together for a group interview. Alongside the discussion, they will perform a track from the 14-song album, which is set to drop on Friday, March 20.
On the following night, BTS will return to Fallon to perform a second song from ARIRANG. That episode will also include guest appearances by actors Chris Pratt and Charlie Day.
This engagement marks the group's first full late-night group interview since completing their mandatory military service, with the final members discharged last summer. Following their return, they promptly reunited to work on ARIRANG, an album inspired by a traditional Korean folk song of the same name.
In addition to their appearances on The Tonight Show, BTS will also host a special Spotify fan event in New York City on March 23. During this exclusive gathering, the group will perform and answer questions from a selected group of fans at an undisclosed location.
Their last joint appearance on Fallon was in 2021, where they performed hit singles "Butter" and "Permission to Dance," both of which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs on NBC at 11:35 p.m. Monday through Friday and is also available for streaming on Peacock.
This two-night event not only celebrates the release of ARIRANG but also marks a significant moment as BTS returns to the spotlight following their military hiatus, reaffirming their presence as a leading global music act.
