BTS releases ‘Come Over’ on streaming platforms ahead of 13th anniversary celebrations | Korean News

BTS released “Come Over”, the centrepiece of the group’s 2026 FESTA, on global streaming platforms on Friday at 1 p.m. KST, as a gift to their fans. For those unfamiliar with the tradition: BTS FESTA is an annual event held every year in June to commemorate the group’s debut. It functions as a gift to fans, featuring special content such as new photos, behind-the-scenes videos, unreleased songs, and performance clips, culminating around June 13, the group’s official debut date. The story behind “Come Over” starts in April, during BTS comeback album release. The track was first released on April 3, appearing as the fifteenth track on the Deluxe Vinyl version of ARIRANG, BTS’s fifth studio album. That meant only fans who had purchased the physical vinyl format could hear it, leaving the majority of the global fanbase locked out. Once those vinyl copies landed, snippets spread online within hours, and the fandom’s reaction was instant and overwhelming. The demand for a streaming release was immediate. As a result, the band released the song on all …

BTS makes Billboard history: ARIRANG is now the longest-running No. 1 group album in over a decade | Korean News

3 min readHyderabadApr 15, 2026 02:46 PM IST When BTS dropped ARIRANG after nearly four years away, the numbers were always going to be big. What nobody quite expected was that they would keep coming. Three consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 is a number that sounds normal on paper, but in today’s music landscape, where streaming surges fade fast and chart momentum is hard to hold, it means a great deal more than that. The last group album to pull this off was Mumford and Sons’ Babel in 2013, which went on to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Now that belongs to ARIRANG. How it got here ARIRANG opened with 641,000 equivalent album units in the United States during its debut tracking week, making it the largest opening week of 2026 so far. In its second week, the album earned 187,000 equivalent album units, a 71% decline from debut, but still enough to hold No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Also Read: Exclusive | ‘Shah Rukh Khan …

BTS goes back to its roots in Hooligan MV, their third visual from comeback album ARIRANG | Korean News

4 min readHyderabadApr 8, 2026 02:46 PM IST BTS released the music video for “Hooligan,” a fan-favorite B-side from their new album “ARIRANG” on Wednesday. The drop came without much runway, especially by K-pop standards. Earlier in the day, the group’s official accounts swapped their profile photo for an image of three black balaclavas, sending fans into a spiral of speculation online. A rebellious, high-energy track, “Hooligan” is co-written by RM, j-hope, and Suga, and showcases a very different side of the group from their dreamy, chart-topping title track “SWIM.” Where “SWIM” leaned into something more tender and polished, “Hooligan” does the opposite: it is blunt, kinetic, and deliberately rough around the edges. About Hooligan music video RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook appear in edgy, all-black fits in the new visual. It opens in a parking garage, a nod to their 2017 video for “Not Today,” and features masked dancers and a girl with a sword.As a part of the “Hooligan” music video, BTS starts from a parking lot and then …

ARIRANG explained: How BTS used a 130-year-old Korean folk song and a Hollywood star to signal their emotional return | Korean News

ARIRANG explained: How BTS used a 130-year-old Korean folk song and a Hollywood star to signal their emotional return | Korean News

BTS’s album ARIRANG is built around a single, grounding idea: identity. Rather than chasing a new sound or reinventing themselves, the members turned inward and asked what best represents who they are right now. That reflection brought them back to where they started, South Korea, and to one of its most enduring folk songs. “Arirang” is a traditional Korean folk song that has been passed down for generations. It carries themes of separation, longing, and the quiet resilience that comes with both. It also holds historical weight as one of the earliest Korean songs ever recorded in the United States, documented in 1896 by Korean men alongside American ethnologist Alice Fletcher. BTS drew from this song not as a stylistic choice, but as a genuine expression of where they come from and what they’ve carried with them. The goal of the album, in their own framing, is to take emotions rooted in Korean cultural memory and expand them into something universal. Longing, distance, reunion, resilience aren’t specific to one culture; they’re human. ARIRANG is BTS’s …
