When Netflix separately released a live video of "SWIM" studio, which marked the finale of the BTS documentary "BTS: The Return," fans from all over the world are responding hotly.

On the 30th, Netflix released a studio performance video of "SWIM," a song from BTS' new report "ARIRANG," on its official X (formerly Twitter) account and Netflix Korea YouTube channel. The scene was the ending clip of the documentary released on the 27th, and it caught the attention of global fandom immediately after its release when Netflix cut it and distributed it separately.

"BTS: The Return" is about the process of all BTS members reuniting in Los Angeles in August 2025 after completing their military service to make their fifth full-length album "ARIRANG". Director Bao Nguyen directed and captured the candid feelings of the members from songwriting and recording sessions. It is the first time in about three years that BTS has released an album as a whole since 2022.

The 'SWIM' clip released this time sparked an explosive reaction among global fans. "Jungkook's explosive performance was the best ever," "Taehyung's voice, ad-lib, and visuals were all perfect," and "I want to hear Jimin's low notes more." One fan wrote, "It's clear that Netflix picked out the most viral scene in the documentary."

According to the documentary, "SWIM" was not a song that was nominated for a lead single from the beginning. V said it was "the exact opposite" to the direction he originally conceived, and Jimin also confessed that he had hesitation because it was a much calmer song than expected. But Suga recognized the possibility early on. "You're making a comeback with a song like this? Wouldn't it be cool?" and RM agreed, saying, "It's time for us to create an adult atmosphere."

RM described the lyrics of "SWIM" as "a song like someone who almost feels like giving up, but not 100% or my own inner monologue." It is drawing more sympathy from fans in that it is a song that incorporates emotions accumulated during the military service.

"BTS: The Return" is currently available on Netflix, and the "SWIM" studio performance video is also available on Netflix Korea YouTube channel.
