K-pop super group BTS will have a week of performances on NBC's “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” starting Sept. 28.

The show announced the special “BTS Week” on social media Tuesday.

During the week, the group will deliver a different musical performance each night, including a rendition of its hit "Dynamite." The members will also take part in comedy bits and have an interview with Fallon.



“We love having BTS on the show,” Fallon said. “These guys are incredible, and you just know they're going to go above and beyond to make their performance unforgettable.”

BTS ― comprising RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook ― has made history with its first fully English-language song “Dynamite,” becoming the first K-pop act to top the Billboard Hot 100.

The song's music video also made Guinness World Records for the most-watched YouTube video in the first 24 hours, with 101.1 million views.

BTS won all four of its nomination categories at MTV's Video Music Awards last month and is nominated in two categories ― Top Duo/Group and Top Social Artist ― for the Billboard Music Awards on Oct. 14.
