From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

BTS took part in a game of hide-and-seek on The Late Late Show with James Corden and Ashton Kutcher.

The K-pop stars appeared on the latest episode, in which they gave a captivating performance of their new single “Black Swan” live on TV for the first time, and discussed their forthcoming album Map of the Soul: 7.

“The title is seven. It’s been seven years since our [debut]. So seven is like a really special number for us,” rapper RM explained to Corden during the interview segment.

See the video of their “Black Swan” performance below:

Fans were delighted by the game of hide-and-seek with Kutcher, which saw the Hollywood actor carring bandmate Jin over his shoulder after finding him in a photo booth, and hauling Jimin out from under a desk and carrying him to a chair.

Jungkook was caught pretending to be a camera man.

The band’s appearance on the show follows their attendance at the 2020 Grammy Awards, at which they performed a rendition of Lil Nas X‘s hit “Old Town Road”.

BTS will headline two shows at Twickenham Stadium in the UK on 3 and 4 July this year, as part of their Map of the Soul world tour.

Map of the Soul: 7 is scheduled for release on 21 February 2020.
