Boy group BTS (BTS) has finally met ARMY (fandom name) as a whole.
At 8 p.m. on the 21st, BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) held a performance "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" at Gwanghwamun Square to commemorate the release of its fifth studio album "ARIRANG".
On this day, BTS performed three of the songs in "Arirang" as the opening stage, followed by a digital single "Butter" released in May 2021 and "MIC DROP" released in September 2017.
Later, Jungkook said, "Don't catch a cold. I guess it's been a while. I don't think I'll ever forget tonight. I think there was pressure and fear about our comeback, but I'm just happy to be in front of you. It's just good," he said, expressing his feelings about standing in Gwanghwamun Square.
V said, "I still can't believe we're back as a group". Jimin said, "Isn't it too cold?" Are you all right? I thought the weather would be warmer, but it's colder than I thought. We need to do well. I think we can also perform happily because we can capture your happiness in our eyes," he said with a smile.
BTS released its fifth full-length album "Arirang," which contains a total of 14 songs, including the title song "SWIM," on various online music sites at 1 p.m. on the 20th.
Arirang topped the daily chart of Hanteo with 3.98 million copies sold on the first day of its release. The figure exceeds the team's all-time initial record of 3.37 million copies in one day.
