OMG, ARMYs, you ready for this?! BTS is literally about to drop their 5th full album, ‘ARIRANG’, and it’s already a whole mood! This album is packed with 14 tracks, diving deep into their team identity, longing, and deep love – totally “the current BTS” vibes.
The hype is REAL. ‘ARIRANG’ just hit over 3 MILLION pre-saves on Spotify! Like, seriously?! It zoomed past 1M in 2 days and 2M in 4 days, and it’s still climbing! 👀 Everyone’s wondering if our Kings can snatch the all-time Spotify pre-save record from Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ (which is around 6M, no biggie). They’ve already been dominating the ‘Countdown Charts Global’ for two weeks straight, proving the global interest is OFF THE CHARTS.
And it’s not just Spotify! Weverse memberships literally TRIPLED after the album and world tour announcement. Plus, classics like ‘Yet To Come’ and ‘Love Maze’ are getting major love, snagging ‘Platinum’ and ‘Gold’ certs in Japan! The whole world is re-discovering BTS’s iconic messages as they get ready for their full group comeback after 3 years and 9 months – we’ve been manifesting this!
Mark your calendars, besties! ‘ARIRANG’ drops March 20th at 1 PM KST. And get this: on March 21st, they’re having the ‘BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG’ at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul! This is HUGE – they’re the FIRST artist ever to perform a solo show there, setting a major cultural milestone. AND GUESS WHAT? You can catch all the action LIVE on Netflix in over 190 countries! Slay, Kings, SLAY!
