On Wednesday, 15 May, K-Pop sensation BTS performed their hit single 'Boy With Luv' on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The performance recreated The Beatles' iconic 1964 performance on The Ed Sullivan Show. Right before the performance, BTS also started an impromptu sing-along of 'Hey Jude' during their sit-down interview with Stephen Colbert.
Before the show, Stephen Colbert commented on the huge crowd that the band drew:
BTS is on my show tonight. I hope they don't mind all the screaming teenage girls out front who apparently can't wait for my monologue!

And it's not just the host that noticed the large number of attendees. Other fans have noted that the BTS performance would add to Colbert's already-high viewership:
