The “America’s Got Talent” semifinals kicked off with a bang on Wednesday night (Sept. 16) as South Korean group BTS delivered a colorful and energetic performance of the hit song “Dynamite” on the NBC show.
The band members — comprised of Jungkook, Rm, V, Jimin, J-Hope, Suga and Jin — looked dapper in ’70s-inspired get-ups while meticulously hitting their marks as they danced against the backdrop of a gas station, a movie theater and a restaurant. Among the signage: a shout-out to Army, the band’s legion of devoted fans.
The performance on “AGT,” much like the song’s accompanying video, gave each member a chance to shine, from Jungkook (whose newly curled locks prompted his name to become a trending topic on Twitter) setting the stage atop a mock-up of the “AGT” judges’ table, to the blue-haired Rm inviting fans to the party strutting atop the roof of a gas station, then...

Several of the acts who initially auditioned online due to stay-at-home orders will now come to Hollywood to perform, despite there not being a live studio audience. After Simon broke his back, he was forced to miss the live shows as he recovered at home. Thus, the judges’ table consists of only Heidi, Sofia Vergara and Howie Mandel.

He later cited his successful sports career as the reason. But, have no fear — Thomas confirmed on Instagram that he’s been invited back to NBC’s reality TV show as a wild card.
