BTS is coming to “MTV Unplugged,” according to Deadline. The group, which consists of Jin, RM, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook, will perform from Seoul, Korea.
They will sing songs from their latest album BE, which was released last November. The album hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. They are also expected to sing hits, including “Boy with Love” and “Dynamite,” during the special.
“BTS will bring its own iteration of the iconic Unplugged format to life straight from Seoul, South Korea – offering their fans a front-row seat to never-before-seen versions of the group’s most career-defining hits and songs from their latest album BE (Essential Edition) in intimate settings,” MTV officials said in a statement, according to New York Daily News.
The group will bring a “little funk and soul” to “MTV’s Unplugged.” BTS follows in a long line of famous performers who have made appearances on “Unplugged” over the years, including artists such as Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Nirvana, and Lauryn Hill, according to Rolling Stone.
“MTV Unplugged Presents: BTS” is scheduled to premiere exclusively on MTV at 9 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Feb. 23. It will also air worldwide, according to Pitchfork.
BTS has won many accolades in recent years. The group has received VMAs for Best Pop, Best Group, Best K-Pop, and Best Choreography, according to Yahoo News. The singers were also nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at this year’s Grammy Awards, which is scheduled to air on March 14.
