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.
04:16Wow.
04:17Yeah.
