BTS Will Perform Live in New York's Times Square for New Year's Eve

Safe to say it's going to be crowded.

Well, ARMY, start figuring out how you'll get to New York City on New Year's Eve because BTS is performing at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest.

Good Morning America reported the news on Dec. 17 (and BTS confirmed on the official Twitter account), announcing the lineup for the evening's celebrations. The show is held every year in Times Square as crowds wait for the ball to drop to ring in the New Year. BTS won't be the only act performing that night — Post Malone is headlining, and other performers include Sam Hunt and Alanis Morissette, who will sing with the cast of Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill production.

This isn't the first time BTS has appeared on the iconic New Year's Eve program. In 2017, they pre-recorded their performances of "Mic Drop" and "DNA" while in Hollywood, and the segment aired during NYE going into 2018. At the time, they were the first Korean group to appear on the show, according to Billboard.

For the 2020 celebration, BTS will be live in Times Square for their performance. BTS fans are naturally ecstatic on Twitter (even if it means venturing into Times Square). Estimates for how many people actually go to Times Square to see the ball drop on an average year are all over the place — from 50,000 to close to 1 million — but safely expect those crowds to be even bigger and more excitable with BTS coming to town. Fun!

Per the announcement, the program starts at 8/7c on ABC, though BTS's official time slot hasn't yet been confirmed. So even if you can't make it to New York, you'll be able to enjoy BTS's performance from the comfort of your much less crowded home or holiday party.
