Arirang marks the group’s first release since 2020’s Map of the Soul: 7, and it arrives on March 3. In addition to the livestreamed concerts, they’ll also release a live comeback performance and documentary. According to BTS, the album title derives from a traditional Korean folk song.
“Drawing on the emotional depth of ‘Arirang’— its sense of yearning, longing, and the ebb and flow of life, the band ultimately chose the title for its strong resonance with their current journey,” they explained in a press release. “The new release explores universal emotions of longing and love and will resonate with the worldwide audience as a timeless legacy across generations and cultures.”
