The BTS featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine's May issue.

Music magazine Rolling Stone released a group cover and interview video of BTS at midnight on April 14. It is the largest project ever published simultaneously in 16 countries/regions around the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. One group and seven individual covers for each member will be issued, which is the first attempt by a K-pop artist.

The BTS in the pictorial gives off a mature and intense charisma. By matching outfits made of black and white and denim, they completed a free-spirited and rebellious atmosphere. The deeper eyes and relaxed poses of the members reveal their presence as global artists built over the past decade.

In the interview, we can see the traces of fierce agony and growth before the members are reborn as a whole after a hiatus. RM explained that the 14 tracks in the new report "ARIRANG" will be the answer to those who wonder, "What will be the BTS of 2026?" He also emphasized his constant musical attempts, saying, "If you don't challenge yourself anymore, there's no reason to continue your team."

The members showed the importance of the present return to the team and a strong bond toward each other. Jin said, "I always thought there was no reason to continue my activities if I didn't join the group," and showed strong trust in the team, and J-Hope said, "I realized again why we have to be seven in the process of making up for each other's shortcomings." Suga also showed a relaxed attitude that he wanted to take care of each other's health and enjoy his activities rather than being buried only in performance.

Jimin said, "I will further raise my capabilities to prove my value among great members and raise the team's status." Emphasizing his inner growth, V said, "During my military life, I 'build up' my body and mind again and envisioned the next step I'll take as an artist." Jungkook confessed that he was desperate to perform and dance on stage during his hiatus. He revealed that he poured his thirst for the stage into this album.

Rolling Stone organizations, personal covers and interviews will be sequentially unveiled at 7 p.m. every day from today (14th) to 20th.
