The band took over the late night talk show, riding the subway around the city with host Jimmy Fallon for Monday night’s episode of _The Tonight Show._ To cap off the evening, the iconic main hall of New York’s busy train station was cleared out for a special performance by [the beloved band](https://time.com/5570948/bts-time-100-2019-reader-poll-winner/ "undefined"). The seven band members played their [song](https://time.com/5786954/most-underrated-bts-songs/ "undefined") “On” once again delivering a perfectly polished song and dance routine in the empty transit hub. In other segments, the late night host also took the band on a subway tour of New York landmarks, including Katz’s Deli where they ordered [pastrami sandwiches](https://youtu.be/w1wA22Sx0kE "undefined"), and interviewed the band as they rode the rails. It’s a big week for the band, as they make the late night rounds to build interest in their new album—not that [BTS](https://time.com/5681494/bts-bang-si-hyuk-interview/ "undefined") needs to drum up more press, as they are already one of the biggest bands in the world. [According to _Billboard_](https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/bts/8551847/bts-tonight-show-nyc-grand-central-station-on "undefined"), their new album is set to debut at No. 1 on charts around the globe. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5790272/bts-on-fallon/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5790272/bts-on-fallon/"},"headline":"There's No Takeover Quite Like a BTS Takeover","datePublished":"2020-02-25T15:41:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:19.457Z","description":"The K-Pop legends performed \"On\" in an empty train station","url":"https://time.com/5790272/bts-on-fallon/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","The Tonight Show","Late Night Television","onetime","bts","clickmonsters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt91329ba8749f6b0c/698a0aa2656a3f5f26bd9b67/BTS-Disc-Awards.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt91329ba8749f6b0c/698a0aa2656a3f5f26bd9b67/BTS-Disc-Awards.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The 34th Golden Disc Awards - Photocall","caption":"The 34th Golden Disc Awards - Photocall","creditText":"The Chosunilbo JNS—Imazins/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5790272/bts-on-fallon/","name":"There's No Takeover Quite Like a BTS Takeover"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"2019 Time 100 | BTS","description":"K-Pop band BTS is on the 2019 Time 100 list","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/uMa8fPWx/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-04-17T10:04:29.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/uMa8fPWx.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5790272/bts-on-fallon/","duration":"PT2M54S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5790272/bts-on-fallon/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
