Popular K-pop boy band BTS is all set to make a huge full group comeback on March 21. Ahead of their grand return, they will have back-to-back appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

The upcoming The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will mark the first late-night visit of BTS, which includes RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook, since 2021.

BTS will perform two songs and participate in an in-studio interview. The first song and interview will air on Wednesday, March 25, and the second song will air the following day.

Their visit will come after the worldwide live performance of ‘BTS: The Comeback Live | Arirang,’ which will be available to stream on Netflix on March 21.

BTS’ fifth studio album, ‘Arirang’ is all set to release on Friday. The K-pop band’s feature documentary titled ‘BTS: The Return’ will debut on Netflix on March 27.

The eagerly anticipated album is BTS's first since the release of ‘Proof’ in June 2022, which was followed by a protracted group break. During that time, each member completed their required military service in South Korea and recorded numerous solo projects.

Before the formal announcement, members of the group had already sent handwritten letters with the date "2026.3.20" to the homes of some ARMY members, informing fans of the release date.

Although Jimin, Suga, Jung Kook, Jin, and J-hope have all made solo appearances since then, BTS last performed together on "The Tonight Show" during their BTS takeover in July 2021.
