Fox is premiering its brand new show The Masked Singer Wednesday night (Jan. 2) at 9 p.m. ET, and some popular South Korean boy bands want viewers to tune in to the American remake of the hit show King of Mask Singer.
Soon before the show premiered, its official Twitter account shared three videos featuring BTS, Wanna One and WINNER. In each video, the acts cheered on the show’s success, and had a bit to say.
The first video uploaded featured BTS, with RM taking the lead. After the Billboard 200-chart topping act introduced themselves and congratulated the debut of the show, the rapper-songwriter introduced the program and expressed his hope that it will do well. “It’s really the hottest program in Korea,” he said. “I hope that many amazing singers are going to be on the stage. It’s really fun to guess who is in the mask.” He also said that BTS wants to “be there someday too.”

King of Mask Singer premiered in South Korea in 2015 and has been one of the most popular shows in the country ever since. It has been remade several times, and The Masked Singer is reportedly inspired by the Thai version, The Mask Singer.
