South Korean boy band BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys, will be guesting on Saturday Night Live and many cannot contain their excitement about meeting and watching them perform in person. One of which is American actress Emma Stone.
On Wednesday, April 10, a promotional video for the upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live has been dropped - showing Emma Stone throws an onstage slumber party with cast members Ego Nwodim, Heidi Gardner, Melissa Villaseñor and Kate McKinnon as they await the arrival of BTS.
"I can't believe BTS is going to be dancing on this stage!," Melissa Villasenor said in the 80-second-long promotional video (via The Hollywood Reporter), to which Emma Stone excitedly replied, "I am camping out on this stage until BTS gets here!"
The scene, then, cuts to Heidi Gardner saying she cannot pick a favorite among BTS' members - RM / Rap Monster (whose real name is Kim Nam Joon), Suga (whose real name is Min Yoon Gi), J-Hope (whose real name is Jung Ho Seok), Jimin (whose real name is Park Ji Min), Jungkook (whose real name is Jeon Jung Kook), V (whose real name is Kim Tae Hyung), J-Hope (whose real name is Jung Ho Seok), and Jin (whose real name is Kim Seok Jin).
Kate McKinnon somberly responded if one pick a favorite, then, inevitably the other members would find out and they would feel hurt or worse, jealous. Hence, Ego Nwodim suggested that the seven members can all be their favorites instead.
Emma Stone will serve as a host in the upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live. In the said episode, BTS is expected to talk about their upcoming sixth extended play (EP) titled Map of the Soul: Persona. They will also likely perform several tracks from the said EP.
Map of the Soul: Persona, which will be out simultaneously in the United States and South Korea on April 12 at 6:00 p.m. KST, or 5:00 a.m. EST and 2:00 a.m. PST, will have a total of seven tracks. The title of the tracks are "Intro: Persona," "Boy with Luv (A Poem for the Small Things)" featuring American singer Halsey, "Mikrokosmos," "Make It Right," "Home," "Jamais Vu" and "Dionysus."
BTS' much-awaited sixth EP is the follow-up to their 2018 best-selling albums, Love Yourself: Tear and Love Yourself: Answer. The new EP is said to be beginning of a new chapter for the popular K-pop group.
BTS' performance on Saturday Night Live airs on April 13 at 11:30 p.m. (ET) on NBC.
