The single CD "Butter," released in July 2021 by BTS (BTS·RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook), exceeded 4 million cumulative points in Japan's Oricon "Weekly Sum Single Ranking" (counting period: February 2-6). This ranking is calculated by combining streaming figures and the number of digital downloads. BTS became the first overseas singer to surpass 4 million cumulative points and the second artist of all time.

Oricon paid attention to the song of the same name on the single CD and the streaming performance of "Permission to Dance". At the time of the announcement, "Butter" entered the "Oricon Weekly Streaming Rankings" at the top of the "Oricon Weekly Streaming Rankings" for eight consecutive weeks and recently surpassed 600 million cumulative plays. "Permission to Dance" also topped the same chart for eight consecutive weeks and is currently on the verge of 500 million streams. Both songs are the team's mega-hit songs, and they are still loved about four years and seven months after their release. This shows the power and influence of BTS's music.

At the same time, "#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in JAPAN," which contains Jin's live performance at the Japanese fan concert, topped the "Oricon weekly Blu-ray ranking" (counting period: January 26 to February 1) and the "Weekly Music DVD and Blu-ray ranking." Japanese performances were sensational when they were held, and the Chiba and Osaka events held in July last year were sold out in the previous round. In particular, the Osaka Kyocera Dome performance was "perfectly sold out" to the top eight floors and the viewing limit seats. In addition, Japan's five major sports newspapers (Sports Nippon, Daily Sports, Daily Sports, Sports Hochi, and Sankei Sports) made headlines for the performance on the front page over both days.

Meanwhile, BTS will release its fifth full-length album "ARIRANG" (Arirang) at 1 p.m. on March 20. This new report contains a total of 14 songs that show the team's identity and "BTS of the moment." Following the release of the album, they will hold "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" (BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE ｜ ARIRANG) at Gwanghwamun Square on the 21st. It will be broadcast live on Netflix.
