Paul McCartney Reacts to BTS on 'The Late Show,' So Maybe Our Parents Will Finally Care

Worlds collided as Paul McCartney dropped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday, Sept. 23. During the show, the legendary Beatles member sat down with Colbert to discuss his new children’s book, Hey Granddude! But the host briefly turned McCartney’s attention towards BTS — the world’s reigning boy group — who appeared in the late-night show on May 15.

In the Sept. 23 episode, Colbert previewed a clip of BTS’s impromptu cover of “Hey Jude” in the Ed Sullivan Theater, where The Late Show is taped. And of course, McCartney’s reaction to BTS sent ARMY into a whirlwind of emotions.

When Colbert touched on McCartney’s international success, the host asked the music icon if he knew about BTS. “Yes,” McCartney replied. Colbert also referred to the K-pop idols as “the biggest hit on the planet right now,” to which McCartney answered, “So I’ve heard.”

The Late Show host then showed McCartney a clip of BTS’s previous appearance. “You are the first group, as I’ve said before, to earn three number one albums in less than a year since The Beatles,” Colbert said, speaking with BTS in the old video. “Do you guys have a favorite Beatles song?” Instantly, the Bangtan Boys — including members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook — burst out into “Hey Jude.”
