"Oh diba na-meet ko na si Papa ko. I am your son, Baby Mochi's, wife," Muñoz said after meeting Corden.

The TV host earned the nickname "Papa Mochi" during a Carpool Karaoke episode with K-pop boyband BTS in February 2020.

Jimin, who is given the nickname "Mochi" by fans or BTS ARMY, dubbed Corden "Papa Mochi" when he appeared on the show.

The following year, the talk show host received backlash from BTS fans when he called them "15-year-old girls" in a monologue. Shortly afterward, members of the fanbase revoked the "Papa Mochi" nickname.

However, BTS told Corden that he could still use the nickname in a November 2021 interview on The Late Late Show. The host also said that he is a big fan of the K-pop group.
