Group BTS (BTS) is back in full after about three years and nine months. With the title song 'Swim', they calmly expressed their will not to stop even in the waves of life.

BTS released its fifth full-length album "ARIRANG" on various music sites at 1 p.m. on the 20th. "Arirang" encompasses the identity of the BTS and universal emotions that many people can relate to.

In addition to the title song "SWIM", "Body to Body", "Hooligan", "Alien", "FYA", "2.0", and "Number". A total of 14 songs were included, including 29' (No. 29), Merry Go Round, NORMAL, Like Animals, Day Don't Know About Us, One More Night, Please, and Into the Sun.

The title song "SWIM" is an upbeat alternative pop genre that sings about the attitude of continuing in the waves of life without stopping. He released his will to swim calmly at his own pace with "love for life." RM took charge of the overall lyrics, adding authenticity to the song's message.

The song feels a refined depth rather than a colorful variation. Instead of a stimulating killing part, it focuses on the flow and emotional line of the entire song, leaving a deep aftertaste. While keeping each member's tone and narrative alive, it naturally led to a single flow and built a high-quality narrative.

The music video expanded the message visually. Against the backdrop of a huge ship sailing through endless seas, even in moments of sway and frustration, the BTS emerged as an anchor, a directional measurement, and a helper to lead the ship. Rather than presenting a direct solution, they silently support them and harden the center of the narrative.

In this way, the seven members sensibly portray the excitement, tension, and challenge of the moment ahead of a new journey in their own way. It also served as a driving force to swim together and eventually move forward, conveying BTS's own comfort.

RM said about this album, "It is an album with the sincerity of all the members based on our identity and the roots of K-pop. "As we meet you after a long time, we have expressed our longing for the past, good music, and our desire to be with us that have changed," he explained.

Jimin then said about the title song "Swim," "Even if there are endless worries, we will not stop and go through it together, and we expressed our will to move forward with the fans we met again." V also said, "It's the best love song to ARMY (fandom name) for waiting for us consistently. We put our hearts full," he said.

BTS returned as a whole three years and nine months after its anthology album "Proof," which was released in June 2022. Standing in the global music market with "the most Korean appearance," they heralded a huge prelude to a new chapter.

BTS will hold a free performance "BTS Comeback Live: Arirang" at Gwanghwamun Square at 8 p.m. on the 21st, the day after its comeback. Against the backdrop of the statue of Admiral Yi Sun-shin and Gyeongbokgung Palace, it will prove on stage that 'the most Korean is the most global'.
