On Tuesday, the group combined promotional duties with
comedic skills as they participated in a skit called “BTS Teaches Hand Gestures.”
The skit started with BTS RM explaining, “A few years ago, we helped popularize finger hearts, a symbol that means love and affection. But that’s only one of many popular gestures we use. And tonight, me and the boys of BTS are gonna teach you the rest.”
BTS then started performing a series of hand gestures,
ranging in levels of complexity to symbolize such things as kidneys, long
intestines, going for a run, and informing somebody that they have food on
their face.
While the boys brought hilarity, they also made
impressions to the ARMYs who eventually took to Twitterverse to tweet compliments
regarding BTS standard of English.
“in all seriousness, that was a pretty long, all-English,
comedic segment. it must have required so much practice and they did amazingly,”
wrote @lenikacruz@.
“their English is so fluent now,' wrote @jeonsobvious
on the micro-blogging platform. "they have been working so hard and i am
so proud of them.”
“Their English sounded so good,” echoed @Love_taebear.
“They have really improved.”
Stephen Colbert praised BTS for their colossal
influence. He even jokingly crediting the boys for his choice of hairstyle.
Along with the series of hand gestures shared during
the skit was one called “Late Night TV Host Stephen Colbert.” Colbert himself
also appeared in the skit, which ended with the singers promoting their recently
released single, “Butter.”
BTS, who will be among the celebrities appearing on
HBO Max’s Friends: The Reunion on Thursday, recently revealed the video for their
new single to great success.
Butter MV has smashed and created a new record during
its release in the YouTube Premiere with over 3.9 million concurrent viewers, taking
over the spot that ‘Dynamite’ previously held.
“Butter” has attracted 108.2 million views in just the first 24 hours of its release which marks another record in the music industry.
