In this corner, the BTS members talked about various topics such as how RM learned English, members’ nicknames, and relationships among the members. Having appeared in James Corden’s show multiple times in the past, the boys were extremely comfortable and also exchanged light jokes with James.
James also earned a new nickname as Papa Mochi. This is in reference to BTS member Jimin’s nickname Mochi.

The show producers also did a clever job by including subtitles for the side conversations as the viewers can get to see that BTS members are effortlessly funny. The oldest members Jin and Suga were the absolute funniest, as what they were speaking seemed like fake subs, but it was actually not.
