BTS was recently added as a part of the performance list of the 36th Golden Disk Awards 2022, officially returning on national television in South Korea as their first 2022 appearance.

It was December 28, Tuesday, when the award show announced that the "Dynamite" singers will have BTS as a part of their performance lineup this year after the group missed multiple end-of-the-year shows in December.

The septet will be joining fellow artists aespa, Enhypen, The Boyz, Brave Girls, Tomorrow X Together, Seventeen, Jeon Somi and more, as a part of the night's set.

What's The Catch?

The Grammy-nominated artists may be announced as performers for the show, but sadly, they are still on their extended rest. BTS successfully ended their "BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - LA" concert held in SoFi Stadium, making some of the members still in quarantine.

RM, Suga, Jin, j-hope, V, Jimin, and Jungkook went back home separately after the concert as some decided to extend their stay in the US and spend the holidays.

They may not be able to attend the event, but still, they will be revealing exclusive footage from their Los Angeles concert for the first time on TV.

BTS has given fans impressive performances for GDA for the past years. Recalling their stage in 2021, they performed their Billboard Hot 100 hit "Dynamite" and two more songs, "Black Swan" and "ON," from their fourth studio album, "Map of the Soul: 7."

Recent Happenings With BTS

In recent news, BigHit Music announced that three group members got contracted by COVID-19 after their return from the States, despite completing their second vaccination. The company initially announced a day before Christmas, SUGA, being the final member who went back home, got tested positive yet asymptomatic.

The next day, another statement was released claiming that Jin and RM were also diagnosed with COVID-19. The "Bicycle" rapper went through PCR testing as he was about to be released from his quarantine. The results came out positive, also not experiencing any particular symptoms.

Jin, who returned earlier than the rest of the members, tested negative after returning home and before his release from self-quarantine. The "Super Tuna" singer experienced "feeling flu-like symptoms" on the same day the announcement was made, leading him to another PCR test, which came out positive.

Numerous fans got worried after the update. While they wish for their speedy recovery, the idols still managed to leave messages through their fan community, with SUGA saying, "I'm really fine, don't worry too much!"

This was followed by a comment from RM, too, adding, "Me too, I'm also very okay ^^^^."
