BTS member J-Hope stumbled onstage while performing “Butter” with his bandmates at the Grammy Awards on Sunday (3 April).

During the Las Vegas performance, the singer tripped off a raised platform and fell towards some stairs.

However, he managed to stay on his feet, rejoining the rest of the group and smiling.

One fan who caught the moment praised J-Hope for his quick recovery: “Anyone else catch this stumble during the BTS #GRAMMYs performance? He played it off well despite tripping!”

Elsewhere in the performance, BTS channeled Mission: Impossible in their choreography, jumping over laser beams and wearing all black. Olivia Rodrigo even made a cameo with V.

BTS is nominated in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for “Butter”, which is the band’s second English-language single.
