On Wednesday's episode, BTS will be joining Jimmy Fallon for a hilarious and heartfelt reunion. They'll be wearing their traditional Korean house slippers to introduce Fallon to the customs of their homeland. Their song "Aliens," from ARIRANG, even references the respectful practice of removing shoes before entering a home. "If you wanna hit my house, shoes off at the door, yeah we aliens," Jung Kook sings.

Fallon will also ask the members to share what they missed about each other while they were apart completing their mandatory military service in South Korea. But that's not all! They'll also discuss the messages they imbued in this album, named after the Korean folk song "Arirang," a deeply meaningful cultural touchpoint in the country. They'll share their thoughts on going back to their roots while also making music for a global audience.

Of course, they'll also bust some moves, breakdown Fallon's favorite tracks, and surprise some lucky fans in a very unexpected way. So don't miss out on this special reunion and the performances! Tune in to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 25 and 26 at 11:35 PM ET/10:35 PM CT on NBC to see BTS's full interview and performances.
