BTS has been very vocal about their appreciation towards their fans and even credited them as among the primary reasons behind their global success. In return, the septet has been working so hard to please their fans through their music and performances.
BTS Finally Appears on "MTV Unplugged"
On Wednesday, Feb. 24, BTS performed a myriad of songs during their most recent appearance on "MTV Unplugged." Aside from performing some of their trending tracks like "Life Goes On," "Telepathy," and "Blue & Grey," the members also performed a cover of a famous song by Coldplay, "Fix You."
Before the Bangtan Boys started, Jimin stated that the said track actually gave them a feeling of comfort during these trying times. Because of that, he, alongside his co-members, prepared a cover of "Fix You" so their fans will experience the relief they felt upon hearing it.
BTS did not disappoint the ARMYs as rendered a soulful and moving performance. The members also looked stunning in their gray-color-coordinate ensembles.

Following their performance, reports claimed that "Fix You" by Coldplay saw a major boost in terms of page views. As a matter of fact, the track made it to the Top 10 list of the Genius Chart again more than a decade since its official release, which clearly shows the vast influence of the South Korean septet.
BTS ended their five-song performance with a mellow version of their trending "Life Goes On" song. During the group's closing speech, the group thanked all of their followers for witnessing their performance.
The "Boy with Luv" hitmakers also expressed their eagerness to hit the center stage again to perform in front of the ARMYs. BTS member Jungkook then said that the group will continue staying by everyone's side through their music. RM added they hope that their fans were comforted while watching from their respective rooms and houses.
