BTS will be returning to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

According to the show’s Ellentube webpage, the seven-piece act will make an appearance on the show’s Thursday episode, which will be hosted by Mario Lopez and co-feature actress Kathryn Hahn.

It wrote, “Then, it’s the global phenomenon BTS! The group makes waves wherever they go, and their ARMY is sure to follow! They’ve got another unbelievable performance in store, and it’s sure to get everyone excited for the new season!”

BTS’ agency Big Hit Entertainment confirmed Tuesday that the upcoming episode featuring the group would be a re-edit of a previous episode in May.

“We can only confirm that it’s not BTS’ new visit to the show and the act’s gig in the Thursday episode is not ‘Idol,’” an agency official said.

Making waves in the US entertainment scene, BTS made its US daytime television debut on the show on Nov. 19 last year. It showcased a performance of “Mic Drop” and discussed its music. The group sat down with DeGeneres again on May 25, performing “Fake Love” and talking about the band’s return to the Billboard Music Awards.

Having wrapped up the two-day Seoul leg of its “Love Yourself” world tour Sunday, BTS will kick off its US tour next week, which will include the first-ever stadium show by a Korean act at Citi Field in New York City on Oct. 7.

It will then continue on to London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka.
