BTS's V, who served as the main composer and lyricist for 'Into the Sun,' drew attention as the track was used as background music in an official SNS video of the French President.

French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed heads of state from various countries attending the G7 summit held in Evian, France, on June 16 (local time). The G7 summit is a forum where major advanced nations gather annually to discuss key global issues such as the economy, security, and diplomacy; Korea attended as an invited country. In the video posted by Ma Keu-rong (President), 'Into the Sun,' a track from BTS's album 'Arirang,' played as President Lee Jae-myung made his entrance.

'Into the Sun' was completed based on a melody V spontaneously sang after being inspired by a theme he heard while on his way back from exercising. Although V wrote both the lyrics and music, he initially opposed including the song on the album, stating, "I should be judged objectively on whether it fits the album..there are many good songs written by the other members, so I wondered if this song really needed to be included." However, after strong recommendations from the other members, the track was ultimately included on the album.

The song also received praise from overseas media. The 'New York Times' described it as "a soothing track that feels like it casts a spell," while 'Rolling Stone' explained, "It is an ecstatic song where falsetto harmonies blend with a slow, shimmering tempo, giving the impression of witnessing infinite possibilities unfolding before BTS." 'BBC' reviewed it as "experimental and fun, adding an intimate and mysterious atmosphere through digital effects."

The 'Into the Sun' dance moves that V created spontaneously on the first day of the Goyang concert sparked a challenge among fans. Billboard conducted a survey among fans on the release date of the 'Arirang' album asking, "What is your favorite track from the 'Arirang' album?" The song ranked first with 28.43% of the votes.
