Model Tyra Banks, who hosts the show, also hailed the news with a GIF image of her and the group dancing at the American Music Awards earlier this year.

Banks had continued efforts to get the group on the show just hours before the news broke on social media.
In a previous tweet, she wrote, “I’m not giving up, so I need some help from the BTSarmy!”

Several media outlets including K-pop Herald reported that the septet would only be focusing on its LA shows, citing local reporter George Pennacchio, who said he learned that “BTS had decided to turn down all interview requests.”
Banks is not the only one to have invited BTS to make a TV appearance. James Corden, who presents “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” also pleaded with the group to come on his talk show, on Twitter in August.
