The episode opens with BTS’ first-ever performance of their 1980-inspired, disco-funk track, “Telepathy.” Written and composed by rapper SUGA, who revealed in the episode that the track came into existence after he took inspiration from older demos, “Telepathy” is an upbeat offering about finding an escape from monotony. With a NPR Tiny Desk performance already under their belt, BTS now make their debut on MTV’s Unplugged series–previously stage to artists like Paul Mcartney, Mariah Carey and of course most famously Nirvana– walking us through the emotions and art behind their latest record BE, as well as offering an unexpected cover of Coldplay’s iconic 2005 soft rock ballad “Fix You.” The episode was aired worldwide earlier this morning, with Vh1 India and Voot Select bringing it to local screens. Regardless of the timeline and scale of their success however, this septet has proved they understand what it means to use their art to innovate, evolve, break barriers and win hearts on the way. Perhaps, it was moment their 2016 album, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever won a Daesang– the highest form of achievement a group or a solo artist is awarded within South Korea– or perhaps, it was the time they became the first South Korean act to debut at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 charts with their English single “Dynamite.” Maybe it was earlier this year when they became the first South Korean group to become nominated for a Grammy. It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact moment when BTS shattered the glass ceiling.
