The K-pop singer’s first appearance will be on The Tonight Show, where he’ll be interviewed by host Jimmy Fallon, which airs live on Monday night (Nov. 6) on NBC at 11:35 p.m. ET. Then, he’ll perform some of his tracks live during Today‘s Citi Concert Series, which you can see in-person on Wednesday (Nov. 8) at Rockefeller Plaza at 5:15 a.m. ET. If you’re not able to score some travel deals to see it live — or are not that early of a riser — the performance will be aired the same day on NBC at 8 a.m. ET.
Fallon teased Jung Kook’s guest appearance via Instagram on Wednesday (Nov. 1) with a short video announcing the “Seven” singer coming on the show.
“@bts.bighitofficial’s #JungKook makes his solo Tonight Show debut Monday, November 6th at 11:35/10:35c on @nbc! 🫰💜 #FallonTonight #JungKookOnFallon,” the caption says.
