The group returned in 2020 with multiple appearances, including virtual performances during the pandemic, and again in 2021 to promote their chart-topping singles 'Butter' and 'Permission to Dance.'
Earlier this year in March, Jin's bandmate j-hope made his solo debut on the show, also opting for a relaxed vibe by wearing fluffy bunny slippers during his performance.

Uche Ojeh death: Today's Sheinelle Jones speaks out for first time after husband's death
Sheinelle Jones has publicly acknowledged the death of her husband Uche Ojeh, who passed away aged 45 after battling glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. The Today cohost shared a message on Instagram thanking supporters after her colleagues broke the news on the 23 May edition of the NBC morning programme. 'Thank you, for all of your love and support,' Jones wrote alongside a clip of the emotional on-air tribute. Savannah Guthrie announced the death, describing Ojeh as 'an incredible person' and 'Sheinelle's perfect partner in life.' The couple shared three children: Kayin, 15, and 12-year-old twins Clara and Uche Jr. 'There are no words for the pain we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children,' Guthrie said. Colleague Craig Melvin described Ojeh as a dedicated father, saying, 'He was that dad that was on the sidelines at every soccer game. He loved those kids more than anything else in this world and was just so proud.' Ojeh, a private consultant, was known for his quiet presence and sharp sense of humour. Al Roker called him 'a humble man' and 'wickedly funny' during Friday's broadcast. Dylan Dreyer, another Today cohost and close friend of Jones, addressed her months-long absence earlier in May, telling E! News that Jones was 'hanging in there' and receiving daily support from her colleagues. 'We're there to support her, and we'll welcome her back with open arms,' Dreyer said. Jones met Ojeh while giving him a campus tour at Northwestern University at age 19. Their decades-long relationship was marked by deep faith, family commitment, and resilience. In a 2021 post, Jones highlighted his devotion to their Nigerian heritage and his role in their children's upbringing. 'He was always there—helping the kids with homework, music or soccer,' she wrote at the time. 'I am truly thankful to be on this journey with such a beautiful human being.' During the tribute, Guthrie noted that both Sheinelle and Uche were 'warriors' in facing his illness. 'His joyful spirit and quiet strength complemented Sheinelle in every way,' she said. No further details have been released regarding memorial arrangements.
