James Corden has supported BTS from the get go with multiple appearance on his show, The Late Late Show.
So it’s only right that he’s been adopted into the BTS family.
‘Papa Mochi’ has been trending worldwide after the band labelled Corden as such, becoming Jimin’s dad.
Yep, Carpool Karaoke is the gift that keeps on giving.
The boys’ long-awaited Carpool Karaoke segment finally arrived on Tuesday night’s edition of The Late Late Show, with RM, Jimin, Suga, V, Jin, J-Hope and Jungkook squeezing into a people carrier to sing some of their biggest tracks with James.
And in between singing, the band had the most fun with the Gavin and Stacey star – particularly Jimin, who established quite the bond with the 41-year-old.
ARMYs will know that Jimin is nicknamed Mochi thanks to his little cheeks making him resemble the Japanese rice cake of the same name, and James had to quiz him on the cute moniker.
He asked: ‘Jimin, I heard you’re Mochi, right?’
Jimin cracked up as RM explained why he was called that – with James then pointing at the singer and branding him ‘Mochi’, much to the amusement of the others.
After RM asked: ‘Why is this so funny?’, Jimin proclaimed to James: ‘You’re Papa Mochi’, with Corden replying: ‘You’re Baby Mochi. You’re my son! I’m so proud of you Baby Mochi!’
And the joke just kept delivering the goods, with James calling Jimin ‘my little Mochi’ and Jimin exclaiming: ‘Papa, I’m hungry Papa!’
The LOLs even transferred to the official The Late Late Show Twitter account, with it being renamed The Late Late Show with PAPA MOCHI.
Brilliant.
James seriously committed to his new role in the band, even joining in on an intense choreography session run by his ‘son’.
And it’s no surprise that Twitter trends were dominated by all things Carpool Karaoke following the show.
