When the boy band introduced themselves on stage at The Ellen DeGeneres Show on November 27, the audience went wild with roaring welcome.
"Have you ever hooked up with any of the fans?"
When it comes to music, "we speak the same language, we all feel pain...and music does bring us together," she said of the power of music that indeed made BTS' international appeal possible.
She also compared BTS' sensational popularity to that of The Beatles. "When [BTS] got to LAX, it's like The Beatles were here," she said, which rings deeply true considering the phenomenal reception the boys seem to receive wherever they go.
Then came what was possibly one of the most embarrassing questions that BTS has ever been asked since their debut: "Have you ever hooked up with any of the [fans]?"
While the boys attempted to wriggle their way out of answering, Ellen insisted. They, of course, gave her a firm "no."
Everything they said during the interview segment made headlines in magazines such as People, Rolling Stone, and Billboard.
