James Corden Made BTS's Show The Best It Could Be, So ARMY Paid It Back To Him

Expectations were set high for BTS's appearance on "The Late Late Show" on January 28th because they would be performing their latest track, "Black Swan" live for the first time. Let's just say, James Corden fulfilled ARMY's wishes and then some.

From an interview, to a performance, to a game of hide & seek with Ashton Kutcher, James Corden hosted one of BTS's best American appearances.

Leading up to the show, Corden changed his entire Twitter layout and dedicated it to BTS. James was also interacting with fans through both the show's account, @latelateshow, and his personal account, @JKCorden on Twitter.

Meanwhile in Los Angeles, fans who waited overnight outside the studio received cupcakes from James.

It was from this point that ARMY decided to do something for James in return for all he was doing for them and BTS. @SarahJaneCheeky tweeted out and urged other fans to donate to a charity James supports called Magic Breakfast. This charity "delivers healthy breakfasts to schoolchildren who would otherwise be too hungry to learn."

With Sarah's tweet spreading quickly to BTS fans, James tweeted, "You have no idea how many children you have helped. Thank you thank you thank you x." Magic Breakfast confirmed this morning that ARMY donated enough to make 14,000 breakfasts for disadvantaged children.

ARMY wanted to pay it forward to James because he did such an amazing job promoting BTS and creating an enjoyable atmosphere for them. All his segments with the members were incredible, and I want to take some time to highlight the best moments from them.

Starting from the interview segment, James congratulated BTS on being the first K-pop act to perform on the Grammy's stage. When asked about their performance, J-Hope explained his experience in perfect English. If you look at this interview compared to BTS's past American interviews, RM, the leader of the group, did less translating for his members because they are becoming more confident in their English.

In this interview, it is clear that James is genuinely fond of BTS, and he makes them feel safe enough to speak in a language they are still learning. I also want to note that in a live stream after the show, J-Hope and V talked about how James was very nice and provided a comfortable space for them.

BTS performed "Black Swan" next, and fans were highly impressed by both the performance and the set. After watching the performance, it was clear that James and the staff of "The Late Late Show" made sure the environment BTS performed in was the best.

On top of the beautiful set, BTS left a mark on the stage. The choreography for "Black Swan" contains movements that align perfectly with song's meaning. If you are interested in hearing more about the lyrics of the song, I wrote a post about them here.

Every member moved with precision and passion, making it impossible to not rewatch. My favorite part is at 2:19 because you can see how J-Hope, V, RM, Jungkook, Jin, and Jimin enter back on stage like swans surrounding Suga. I also can't stop watching Jimin at 2:40 when he acts out the lyrics, "My wandering feet held in a rut".

The last segment was a game of Hide & Seek with Ashton Kutcher, which is something every BTS fan didn't know they needed. Like the last tweet above mentioned, James made this game so that the members of BTS could participate and not feel left out or confused. This segment flowed really well and was naturally funny, which some American interviewers have a hard time achieving.

Overall, BTS's appearance on "The Late Late Show" was one to remember, and I strongly encourage you to watch the videos linked above to see how James accomplished such a successful show.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
