American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth and K-pop sensation BTS shared the stage with two performances at the 2018 MBC Plus X Genie Music Awards on Tuesday.
Held at the Namdong Gymnasium in Incheon, Puth kicked off the performance by singing his 2015 Grammy-nominated hit “See You Again.”
It was followed by a duet between BTS’ youngest member Jungkook and Puth singing the latter’s song “We Don’t Talk Anymore.”
