Summit with a performance.
And we said, and this was this was where I think it was wrong.
We said that your fans were 15 year old girls, which of course, isn't true because I'm 43 years old, and I consider myself to be one of the biggest bds bts fans on planet earth.
But um, yeah, it was uh.
It was.
I've never been on that side of the army before and whoa.
The first I knew about it was when reggie sent me a text? Do you remember reg? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I was just like, hey, are you? Okay? And I was like well, someone's just told me that they hope I die today, which did feel extreme.
It did feel extreme in response to what I thought were two quite harmless jokes, not which we never wanted to be at anyone's expense.
Because I I hope you know this, we absolutely love you.
And we love the entire army.
We do we do.
We've got you an army right? Yeah.
I consider the bts army to be an apt.
I mean, I've seen them at their absolute best they when they are a true force for good like they have supported charities that I support at home and they're amazing.
And I I don't know, the prospect of doing anything that may have upset them was I I didn't enjoy that feeling, and I hope they know that we would never do it and john's is all right? We appreciate your apology there right here we love you.

We're in a garage.
There was no audience all these things can I tell you? And I told you this earlier today, and I think I'll tell you now publicly.
I don't think there is an act on planet earth who did more for their fans who put more work and effort into their remote performances than you guys did over the last two years, the work that you did.
But I think about the performance you did on the grammys the performances you did for us here.
Everything felt so bespoke.
Everything felt so um, precise.
It was absolutely brilliant.
I mean, how important was that sugar? How important was that for you as a band to put that level of effort into your performances foreign? Do you feel like do you feel like it's brought you this? This period of time away away from fans away from touring away from travel v? Do you feel like it's brought you closer together as a as a group I'll, be honest, you feel closer together than I think any time I've seen you in the in the last six years I've loved seeing you after sort of not seeing you for a couple of years.
But I I want to take a minute to talk about my baby, mochi friends, because is it just me? And you tell me if he's gonna not tell me the truth, I feel like the baby emoji's been hitting.
The gym is this true is this true? I feel like I feel there was a moment today.
I won't tell you too much about it.
I ended up carrying jimin across the street.
And I thought my boy's been working out is this true? Have you been in the gym have you been? Um, just running or climb stairs? Right? Yeah.
