On Friday, BTS will release one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year: Arirang. The album comes after all seven members completed their mandatory military service in South Korea and follows MAP OF THE SOUL: 7, which was released in 2020.
The name, Arirang, references a traditional Korean folk song that “has long been associated with emotions of connection, distance, and reunion,” per a press release for the album.
Arirang will also be followed later this year with a massive world tour. The tour kicks off in South Korea on April 9 and runs until March, 2027. The North American and European shows are already sold out, but you can still buy tickets using our guide here.
Arirang will be released on all major streaming services in the U.S. at midnight ET on Friday, March 20. However, dedicated ARMY can also purchase one of 16 versions of Arirang, including CD and deluxe vinyl editions from major retailers.
