BTS is slated to perform at Fuji TV’s upcoming ‘2020 FNS Music Festival.’ The announcement was made on August 21, 2020, confirming that BTS would be part of the festival’s lineup alongside other artists, including SEVENTEEN. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, BTS’s performance will be pre-recorded in South Korea and broadcast during the event. BTS is expected to perform “Stay Gold” from their fourth Japanese studio album, ‘Map of the Soul: 7 the Journey,’ as well as their hit track “Mic Drop.” The ‘2020 FNS Music Festival’ is scheduled to air on August 26, 2020, starting at 6:30 PM KST.

The FNS Music Festival is an annual music show hosted by Fuji TV since 1974, featuring a diverse lineup of artists. BTS’s inclusion in the 2020 lineup highlights their continued global appeal and popularity in Japan.

BTS has released a number of successful Japanese singles and albums over the years, showcasing their versatility and commitment to connecting with fans worldwide. Their Japanese discography began with the single “No More Dream (Japanese Ver.)” in 2014, followed by tracks like “Boy In Luv,” “Danger,” and “For You,” which marked their first Japanese single to top the Oricon daily chart. These early releases laid the foundation for BTS’s growing popularity in Japan, one of the largest music markets in the world.

Their Japanese studio albums, such as Wake Up (2014), Youth (2016), and Face Yourself (2018), further solidified their presence. Face Yourself, in particular, was a commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on Japan’s Oricon Albums Chart and earning Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). These albums include both Japanese versions of their Korean hits and original Japanese tracks, highlighting their linguistic and musical adaptability.

In 2020, BTS released Map of the Soul: 7 The Journey, their fourth Japanese studio album. The album featured original songs like “Stay Gold” and “Your Eyes Tell,” the latter co-written by Jungkook. It was met with critical acclaim and commercial success, topping charts and achieving Platinum certification. BTS’s consistent efforts to release music specifically for their Japanese fanbase have helped build a deep, lasting connection with ARMYs in Japan and beyond.
