BTS's urban festival 'BTS THE CITY ARIRANG - LONDON' (hereinafter 'The City London') unveiled expected images of the London Eye and the area along the River Thames ahead of its opening across London on July 4 (local time), raising expectations. The plan involves dyeing iconic landmarks representing the United Kingdom in the red hue symbolizing BTS's fifth full-length album 'Arirang' (ARIRANG).

The Ferris wheel 'London Eye' will be illuminated in red during peak nighttime hours of the festival. On the 'River Thames', a large floating boat approximately 32 meters long carrying a sculpture of the 'Arirang' logo will sail, positioned as a key visual element of the festival alongside the surrounding night view.

The media hub 'Outernet' is also included as an event venue. At 'Now Building', the core facility of this space which recorded the highest number of visitors in London in its opening year of 2023, music videos from BTS's new album will be broadcast. The method utilizes a 360-degree screen extending from floor to ceiling and 16K LED displays with a height of four stories.

The Korean Cultural Centre in the UK will operate an 'Iconic Looks' exhibition showcasing costumes worn by the members during their 2019 Wembley Stadium concert, as well as a 'Connect Lounge' offering hanbok experiences. An '8-Stamp Rally' connecting the concert venue, London Eye, Outernet, and F&B festival will also be held.

Meanwhile, BTS's fifth full-length album 'Arirang' reached No. 7 on the main album chart 'Billboard 200' for the week of July 4, remaining in the 'Top 10' for a cumulative 12 weeks. The title track 'SWIM' ranked No. 63 on the main song chart 'Hot 100', entering the main chart for 14 consecutive weeks.
