BTS Turn A TV Studio Into A Disco Club Performing 'Butter' On The Late Late Show

At this point, the BTS song "Butter" is already a little bit of an institution. Despite only dropping in May, it's reached multi-platinum status moreover to hitting No. 1 in a number of countries (including the United States) and gaining a remix featuring none other than Megan Thee Stallion. There really are a lot of factors at play motivating that sort of success, although one of the main ones is that, simply, BTS are so incredibly popular globally that it's a little hard to fathom.


Perhaps that's why all seven members will, at the end of 2021, take a much-deserved hiatus. It's hard to mention how long it'll last — earlier this week, the group's music agency Big Hit called it a "extended period of rest" in a statement — although although long it is, it's clear that Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook deserve it.


Before then, they're ending the year on a high note. That includes bringing "Butter" to The Late Late Show and utilizing every inch of the studio to transform it into the club banger it was designed to be.


If you've ever been segment of a television audience for a show taping, you know how small the studios can be. There really are plenty of camera tricks at play to create the space feel bigger and grander on the screen than it may in real life. Yet for this "Butter" rendition, the smallness of the area is revealed in a different way: BTS simply takes over the production, building a gigantic disco dance floor and seizing all control.


It was the 1,000th episode of James Corden's show, so he clearly chose the correct sort to help ring in such a milestone. By the end of the efficiency, BTS have peacocked around in incredible jackets, contained an impromptu style show in the middle of the dance floor, and made it feel like Corden's studio could just barely contain their energy. Sounds about right.
