BTS is joining TV host James Corden on his car on the upcoming episode of Carpool Karaoke. All seven members of the group plus Corden will squeeze into the car, in this case, a minivan, and will sing along with The Late Late Show host on his way to work. Many BTS fans are wondering how the karaoke part of the segment will go down.
BTS has been known for their Korean songs though some of these have few English lines. Corden, on the other hand, usually belted out the lyrics of the songs of his invited guest for Carpool Karaoke. So this made BTS ARMY wondering what the segment would be like.
There are three possible scenarios here. One, Corden had a crash course of the Korean language or at least BTS songs, and he will sing along with the septet in their local language. The second possible option is that Corden will only sing all the English lyrics. For instance, Sia's part in the digital version of the lead track, "On."
The last option is that Corden will have the BTS songs translated to English and he sings the English version. This could end up as a hilarious ride especially if Corden will use Google translate on his attempt to "westernized" BTS songs.
Corden has yet to share a teaser video for BTS's Carpool Karaoke episode other than a photo of him with the members in the car. In one of the recent interviews with BTS, the members have talked about their Carpool Karaoke experience.
Suga revealed that he, Jin, and V were all sweating at the back of the vehicle during the filming of the episode. He said it was because all of the recording equipment for the episode was also at the back of the car.
This will be the first time for Corden to ride along with seven men. BTS will set the record for the largest band to participate in Carpool Karaoke. The record was previously held by the six members of the Foo Fighters.
Meanwhile, BTS is expected to sing in Corden's show some of the tracks in their newly released album, Map of the Soul: 7. The "Idol" hitmaker earlier appeared in The Late Late Show With James Corden where they debuted their new song, "Black Swan." In the episode, the septet also played hide and seek with Ashton Kutcher.
The BTS's Carpool Karaoke episode is set to air on February 24 on CBS. Aside from Corden, the Billboard Music Awards' Best Duo/Group winner will also join another late-night show this week.
The group will take over The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a one-hour special episode. Fallon will be the group's tour guide in New York City and they will visit some of NYC's landmarks. BTS will also have a special performance of "On" at the Grand Central Terminal. The episode will air on February 24.
