If there ever was to be another #BTSWEEK, crosses fingers, I would want it to be on the Ellen Show. That show is where I learnt that RM taught himself English through watching the show ‘Friends’ Ellen is such an amazing host that I am sure she and BTS would have a blast. First I’m sure she would have them have a dance off. They would play fun, crazy games that would leave everyone in stitches. Ellen is just wholesemome and BTS is even more wholesome, so, they’d probably hit it off! Ellen wished Jimin a happy birthday and hoped to see the boys again! Are we getting BTS on the Ellen Show? Are we?

When it comes to global superstars, few shine as brightly as BTS—and among them, Jimin holds a special place in the hearts of millions. On his birthday, October 13, fans flood social media with tributes, edits, and sweet messages celebrating the beloved member. But in 2020, one particular message stood out from the rest: a heartfelt birthday wish from none other than Ellen DeGeneres herself. It wasn’t just a casual tweet. It was warm, sweet, and personal—exactly the kind of gesture that makes ARMY (BTS fandom) perk up with excitement. It also reignited a hopeful question: Are we finally getting BTS back on The Ellen DeGeneres Show?

BTS first appeared on The Ellen Show back in November 2017 during their American breakthrough. That moment marked a significant point in their U.S. media presence. Ellen, known for her candid and light-hearted interviews, welcomed the boys with open arms. The interactions were fun, slightly chaotic, and full of laughter—whether she was surprising them with fans or joking about their lyrics. Fans saw a side of BTS that felt refreshingly down-to-earth amidst the glitz of their global rise.

Jimin, in particular, captured Ellen’s attention with his shy smile and warm personality. It didn’t take long for the host and viewers alike to see that beyond his idol visuals, Jimin radiates kindness, humility, and sincerity. So, when Ellen tweeted birthday wishes to him, calling him lovely and expressing admiration, it felt authentic. It was a small gesture, but one that reminded ARMY that BTS had built relationships in Hollywood not just through fame, but through genuine connection.

In an industry where interactions can feel transactional or PR-driven, Ellen’s message to Jimin stood out. It was short and simple, but the tone was affectionate—almost like a proud aunt watching her nephews grow up on the world stage. Considering how rare it is for hosts of major talk shows to keep in touch with K-pop artists after an interview or two, this felt different. This felt personal.

ARMY immediately started speculating: Could this be a sign? Could the group be in talks to return to the show, perhaps to promote a new album, solo work, or even a farewell appearance before Ellen’s long-running show wrapped in 2022?

Let’s be honest: BTS on Ellen again would be a full-circle moment. And Jimin’s birthday might have been the perfect soft launch to a larger reunion in the works.

Every time BTS appears on a Western show, the impact is enormous. Ratings spike, social media trends explode, and moments become instantly iconic. Think: the Carpool Karaoke episode with James Corden, or the touching interview with Jimmy Fallon at Grand Central Station. The group doesn’t just “guest star”—they elevate the show.

For The Ellen Show, having BTS on again would be a win. It would rekindle the magic of their earlier appearances and bring massive viewership from the ever-loyal ARMY. More than that, it would give the show an opportunity to reflect on how far the boys have come since 2017. From breaking records to sweeping award shows, BTS’s story has evolved—and so has the world’s relationship with them.

Imagine Ellen chatting with Jimin about his solo work, asking Jungkook about directing music videos, or teasing V about his fashion icon status. The potential for heartwarming and hilarious moments is endless. And if we’re lucky? A live performance that leaves everyone breathless.

But beyond television appearances, Ellen and BTS share something deeper: an ability to connect with audiences on a human level. Both BTS and Ellen have championed messages of kindness, love, and mental health awareness. Jimin, in particular, is known for his comforting words to fans during difficult times. Ellen, too, has used her platform to speak out about compassion and empathy, even amidst controversies.

That shared ethos makes their bond feel natural. When Ellen calls Jimin “lovely,” she isn’t just talking about his stage presence—she’s likely referring to his genuine heart, the same one that’s led him to check in on fans, support mental health campaigns, and write songs that offer comfort.

With BTS currently focusing on solo ventures and some members enlisted in military service, a group appearance might not be possible until 2025. But that doesn’t mean a future reunion with Ellen is off the table. In fact, it could be even more meaningful.

Imagine the emotional weight of seeing all seven members back on a global stage post-enlistment, reflecting on their journey, their solo growth, and what it means to return to the group. If Ellen were to host such a reunion, it would be poetic—a reminder of where it all started and how far they’ve come. The birthday message to Jimin, then, becomes more than just a tweet. It’s a thread connecting the past to a possible future.

As with anything BTS-related, ARMY took to Twitter, TikTok, and forums the moment Ellen’s tweet went live. Fan theories exploded: Was she hinting at something? Was a virtual interview coming? Or perhaps a surprise appearance?

Whether it was a casual birthday greeting or a breadcrumb leading to something bigger, one thing’s clear: ARMY noticed, and they appreciated it. Because what matters most is that Jimin felt loved and remembered—not just by fans, but by someone who once gave BTS a platform when they were still finding their place in the West.

Ellen’s birthday message to Jimin was sweet, genuine, and filled with the warmth ARMY has come to expect from their “Papa Mochi” circle of celebrity friends. It sparked joy, curiosity, and just the right amount of hope. Whether or not BTS returns to The Ellen DeGeneres Show someday, the gesture reminded fans of the lasting impact BTS has made—not just on music, but on every soul they’ve touched along the way.

And if they do end up back on Ellen’s couch someday, well… let’s just say we’ll be ready—with tissues, streaming links, and hearts full of pride.
