BTS is a popular South Korean band with a following of millions across the world. The band comprises of RM, Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. They have also been nominated for Grammy Awards five times. Last year, BTS performed on their song 'Butter' at the Grammy Awards in April.
Talking about their performance, Suga had previously told Weverse magazine, “We actually practiced really hard. (laughs) We’re not going to do that kind of performance again for quite a while. We had a part that involved clothes and there was a dance break in the middle, too. The process of getting ready was extremely hectic, too: Seokjin got hurt, and Hobi and Jung Kook were in quarantine, so there were times when it was just four of us. It was an experience I won’t soon forget. And the directors were really enthusiastic about the performance. So it was a bit stressful getting ready … but I guess it was also sort of fun, looking back now.”
