American comedian, writer, producer and political commentator Stefano Colbert is no stranger to ARMYs. In 2019, BTS guest The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, including an interview and loved it THE Beatles-inspired performance of “Boy With Luv.”
They even returned to the show three years ago. Then, they performed the hit “Butter” and played a cute game.
Now, a new clip from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is circulating among ARMYs on social media, despite no BTS members having been guests on the show recently. Why?
In a recent episode, Stephen Colbert, who focuses primarily on US news and politics, touched on international news with his world-focused segment, “What’s Going On Over There?” This focuses on global news that Americans might find shocking, strange, etc.
When Stephen Colbert read the news from South Korea, he reacted to the news that BTS Suga “He apologized for riding an electric scooter while drunk.” On September 30, the Seoul Court issued a summary order fining ₩15 million KRW (about $11,200) for drunken driving. Previously, Suga was charged with driving an electric scooter while under the influence, as his blood alcohol level at the time was 0.227 percent, and his license was revoked.
Stephen Colbert poked fun at the scandal, expressing his shock that Koreans need a license to even ride a scooter. The audience reacted by laughing. The clip went viral, with hundreds of thousands of views on X (formerly Twitter), and gained traction among ARMYs.
