BTS were the musical guests on last night’s episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” and for their performance of “Boy With Luv,” the group paid tribute to the Beatles’ iconic “Ed Sullivan Show” performances. The K-pop sensations donned matching suits for a black-and-white broadcast at the Ed Sullivan Theater. The drum set featured the Beatles’ typography, and Colbert did his best Sullivan. They also spoke to Colbert—breaking out a cover of “Hey Jude” in the process—and took part in an intro video. Watch it all happen below.

BTS released their new album MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA earlier this year. Their previous record Love Yourself 轉 ‘Tear’ arrived in 2018. Last month the boy band made their “Saturday Night Live” debut, performing singles “Boy With Luv” and “Mic Drop.”
