\n\tOn Wednesday (March 25), BTS<\/a> kicked off their two-night stint on The Tonight Show<\/a> Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a>, with all seven members sitting down for an interview after recording a performance of \u201cSWIM\u201d earlier in the day at The Guggenheim<\/a> \u2014 and Billboard was in the building for both.<\/p>\n

\n\tAhead of the episode premiering at 11:35 p.m. ET\/PT on NBC tonight, RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook joined Fallon for a taping of The Tonight Show \u2014 see a Billboard exclusive preview photo above \u2014 and judging by the volume in Studio 8H, the crowd was all ARMY. Instead of emerging from behind the blue velvet curtain like most guests, BTS made their way to the stage from behind the audience, touching fans\u2019 hands on the way down.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to the interview, the crowd also got to watch a pre-recorded bit that showed fans entering a recording booth to sing \u201cSWIM\u201d \u2014 the lead single from BTS\u2019 just-released sixth album ARIRANG \u2014 but when they exited, Fallon and the members of BTS were all on the other side to surprise (or sometimes terrify) them. The crowd also got to watch BTS\u2019 performance of \u201cSWIM,\u201d taped earlier in the day at NYC art museum The Guggenheim.<\/p>\n

\n\tBelow, find a highlight from each of the seven members before watching the full episode tonight:<\/p>\n

\t\tRM\t<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Fallon asked if anyone had driven in a car with RM yet, since he just got his license, V could be heard saying, \u201cScary,\u201d over his bandmates\u2019 chatter.<\/p>\n

\t\tJin\t<\/p>\n

\n\tCalling back to his last visit to The Tonight Show, Jin answered whether we have \u201cone or two butts\u201d \u2014 arguing that we have two because we have a left leg and a right leg, and therefore a left butt and a right butt, sending the crowd into a fit of laughter.<\/p>\n

\t\tSUGA\t<\/p>\n

\n\tThe crowd kept screaming SUGA\u2019s Korean name Yoongi seemingly in reference to \u201cYoongi, marry me!\u201d joke among ARMY.<\/p>\n

\t\tj-hope\t<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Fallon asked what mission he would need to complete if he were the eighth member of BTS, j-hope answered with a laugh: \u201cpractice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tJimin\t<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring his monologue, Fallon joked about how his name sounds like Jimin\u2019s, then he did a little song about it that the audience ate up.<\/p>\n

\t\tV\t<\/p>\n

\n\tV explained that the ARIRANG track \u201c2.0\u201d is like a \u201cchapter 2\u201d for them, referring to BTS\u2019 comeback.<\/p>\n

\t\tJung Kook\t<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen the seven guys were roomies again in Los Angeles while recording ARIRANG, they said Jung Kook was the messiest and that he had two suitcases always open in his room.<\/p>\n
