Korean boyband BTS is set to make a grand return with Arirang, which drops tomorrow.
Consisting of members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and
Jung Kook, the new release will be the group’s first in over three years. The
members were on a hiatus to complete their military service.
The title references the namesake Korean folk song, which
translates to ‘my beloved one’.
Earlier this year, the band went live on Weverse to give
their dedicated fanbase more details about the album. They revealed that they
put a lot of emotion into writing 100 songs, 14 of which were shortlisted.
“Arirang feels like our roots. From that way, Arirang was
what tied it all together really well,” J-hope said.
Meanwhile, RM highlighted that they missed performing, and
their fans.
A concert film entitled BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang will
be streamed exclusively on Netflix on Saturday.It will be followed by BTS: The
Return – a documentary on the making of the album on March 27.
