As a surprise for fans, the group performed their own take on Coldplay's Fix You,' a meaningful choice for the members as the song got them through tough times last year. 

Coldplay also gave their seal of approval and wrote "Beautiful" in Korean, showing their support for the BTS rendition. Chris Martin wrote the song for his then-wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, after the loss of her father. 

In true BTS concert tradition, the members all said a few words before launching into the closing tracks. BTS leader RM shared how grateful they are for a chance to perform their songs on the MTV Unplugged stage. "We hope many of you are comforted in your rooms and houses. Thank you for tuning in with us!"

BTS ended their historic MTV Unplugged performance with their Grammy-nominated hit 'Dynamite' and Billboard Hot 100 number 1 single, 'Life Goes On,' accompanied by their live band, Ghost.
