BTS squeezes into studio for pitch-perfect Tiny Desk Concert
Watch Next

If you thought NPR's Tiny Desk Concert couldn't get any cosier, BTS has snuggled all seven members into a studio for the latest instalment.

The K-pop superstars settled in as the latest guests for NPR's live performance series, which has seen quietly colossal sets in a pint-sized space from the likes of Lizzo, Taylor Swift, H.E.R., Anderson Paak, Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, and Steve Martin and his banjo among many others over the years.

And now, off the back of breaking pastel-hued YouTube records and explosively opulent performances at the MTV VMAs and America's Got Talent, BTS performed a stripped back set for the series. Well, compared to their other performances, stripped back.

Surrounded by records in a much roomier option to the usual desk space, BTS rolled out pitch-perfect performances of "Dynamite," — performed for the first time with a live band — "Save ME," and "Spring Day."

And the BTS ARMY turned the hell up, with around 500K viewers tuning in. Go team.
