“Sesame Street” Cast Shocks ARMYs By Covering BTS

The Sesame Street cast shocked ARMYs by covering BTS recently.

Classic American educational children’s television series Sesame Street‘s cast, including beloved character Elmorecently guested on Fox‘s The Masked Singer. Season 9, Episode 5, which aired on March 15, was “Sesame Street Night.”

The Masked Singer is the American version of the popular South Korean singing competition program King of Masked Singerwhich strips celebrities’ of their fame, so they are only judged on their talent. BTS’s Jungkook actually competed on the show before.

You’re probably thinking it’s a bit strange that Sesame Street characters would appear on such a show, but The Muppets‘ Kermit the Frog was a past contestant…

In the recent episode, viewers were shocked when Elmo appeared, playing the piano and singing BTS’s hit song “Dynamite.” He was joined by co-stars Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and Count von Countalong with The Masked Singer‘s panelists Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy, and Robin Thicke.

The only thing better than cookies is having @MeCookieMonster on #TheMaskedSinger TONIGHT! 🍪 @sesamestreet Night on #TheMaskedSinger starts at 8/7c, next day on @hulu. 👏 pic.twitter.com/A9yY1u8bSi

ARMYs were pleasantly surprised. They never expected their different worlds to collide like this.

If someone told me that Elmo would be playing the piano to a BTS song while the rest of the sesame street characters sang along back in like 2018 2019 I’d laugh like it’s a joke CAUSE DAMN
