The group BTS is making a comeback, using Gyeongbokgung Palace and Gwanghwamun as their stage.

On March 5, BTS released the trailer and poster for “BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG” via their official social media channels. The video begins with the cheers of their fandom, ARMY, echoing from past concerts and conveys the sincere feelings the members have for their fans.

In the released video, leader RM appears against the backdrop of Gyeongbokgung Palace, transitioning from day to night, with a narration saying, “We promised our fans that we'd be back.”

The phrases “THE WORLD'S BIGGEST BAND IS BACK” and “WITNESS THE HOMECOMING” then appear on the screen.

Through the video, the members expressed, “We really felt that something changed for each of us,” and added, “We believe that the seven of us can continue to walk this path and swim forward together,” revealing their strong determination for this new journey.

BTS will simultaneously release their 5th full-length album “ARIRANG” worldwide on March 20. The following day, March 21 at 8 p.m., they will hold their comeback live event around Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul.

This performance will be directed by world-renowned director Hamish Hamilton, who has previously produced events such as the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony and the Super Bowl Halftime Show in the United States. To accommodate global fans who cannot attend in person, Netflix will livestream the event in real time.

The title track of the new album “ARIRANG,” called “SWIM,” delivers a message about persevering through the waves of life without stopping. The determination to calmly overcome the incoming currents at one's own pace is expressed as a love for life, and RM was responsible for most of the lyrics.
