00:00We're back with BTS.

00:01And first of all, let's have introductions.

00:03Introduce yourselves, please.

00:04Hi, nice to meet you.

00:05My name is RM.

00:06I'm the leader of this group.

00:07I'm kind of like a speaker.

00:12Hi, guys.

00:13Hi, guys.

00:14Hi, my name is Zeeha.

00:16Papa.

00:18Woo!

00:20Hi.

00:22I'm your Hope.

00:24You're my Hope.

00:25I'm J-Hope.

00:30Hi.

00:34I'm J-Hope.

00:36Ah.

00:38Hi.

00:38Nice to meet you guys.

00:40Nice to meet you guys.

00:43I love you, J-Hope.

00:44Hello.

00:46Hi, my name is J-Hope, and Worldwide Dance Zone.

00:54Nice to meet you guys.

00:55I'm J-Hope.

00:58I'm J-Hope.

01:00All right.

01:03So we have an interpreter just in case I need one.

01:06But you actually, RM, you speak English, right?

01:08Yes.

01:08So pretty well.

01:09You taught yourself English?

01:10Yes, I taught myself English.

01:12How did you teach yourself English?

01:14Actually, my English teacher was a sitcom, Friends.

01:17Oh, you watched Friends.

01:18Yes.

01:19So was it mainly just phrases then, or you just learned everything?

01:24I think back in the days when I was 15, 14, it was quite like a syndrome for all the Korean

01:31parents to make their kids watch the Friends.

01:34Really?

01:35So yeah.

01:36I thought I was kind of like a victim at that time, but right now, I'm the lucky one.

01:41So thanks to my mother, she bought all the seasons for DVDs.

01:46Uh-huh.

01:47It's got 10 DVDs, right?

01:47Right.

01:48She bought me.

01:49And so firstly, I watched with the Korean subtitle.

01:52And then next time, I watched with the English subtitle.

01:55And then I just removed it.

01:56That's very impressive.

01:57And Friends would be very happy that you learned.

02:01I love this.

02:02OK.

02:03So you write the songs, and they're very personal lyrics.

02:06You talk about things like mental health, and that's important to you,

02:09right?

02:10To set yourself aside, not just do pop music, but talk about issues.

02:25That's what I said.

02:26I think we have Korean and English, different languages.

02:40We have different languages, but I think we can all share in the same message.

02:43And I think that's why our songs appeal to people who speak Korean and people who don't

02:48speak Korean.

02:48We do all speak the same language.

02:50We all feel pain.

02:51We all are sad.

02:52We are happy.

02:53All the different things.

02:54And music does bring us together.

02:55You're absolutely right.

02:57Your fans are called ARMY.

02:58What does ARMY stand for?

03:00In Korean, our name means Bulletproof Boy Scouts.

03:04So it stands for BTS.

03:06And so we got this ARMY right beside us.

03:09So that's what it means.

03:10You certainly do have an ARMY.

03:11I mean, can you believe what has happened?

03:13Like, y'all are, it's like when they got to LAX,

03:15it was like the Beatles were here.

03:17I mean, your fans, it's really incredible.

03:20Have you ever gotten together, hooked up with any of the ARMY?

03:25We are doing it right now.

03:30No, you know what I mean.

03:31Yeah, we got like hundreds.

03:35You know what I mean.

03:36Have you all ever dated one of your ARMY?

03:40Explain what hooked up means.

03:42Come on.

03:44Not.

03:45Not.

03:46Not.

03:47No.

03:48All right.

03:49All right.

03:50All right.

03:51All right.

03:52I got y'all a gift, because I know that Friends taught you

03:54English, and your fans are Friends, and they shot here on the lot.

03:57So I got y'all a whole bunch of stuff from Friends.

04:12Really?

04:12Oh, my gosh.

04:13Wow.

04:15Wow.

04:16Wow.

04:17Yeah.
