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

Published by Parlour 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 goes noir in ‘2.0’ music video, paying tribute to South Korean film Oldboy | Korean News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readHyderabadUpdated: Apr 2, 2026 04:08 PM IST BTS are not the kind of group to put out filler content between promotions. Just twelve days after dropping their fifth studio album ARIRANG, they released the official music video for “2.0,” and it has given fans and critics plenty to talk about. The video is a deliberate homage to Park Chan-wook’s 2003 Korean thriller Oldboy, one of the most celebrated films to ever come out of South Korea. The reference is impossible to miss. The music video opens inside a cramped elevator. When the doors pull apart, all seven members step out into a narrow hallway wearing tailored suits, facing a crowd of rough-looking strangers. The whole setup mirrors the iconic corridor sequence from the film, though BTS swap out the violence for synchronized choreography. Their dancing, not their fists, clears the hallway. It is a knowing piece of self-awareness from a group that understands exactly what they represent. RM appears at the end of the teaser wearing a wig and oversized sunglasses, lowering a …

BTS Drop ‘2.0’ teaser from ARIRANG; RM’s mafia boss avatar sends internet into frenzy | Korean News

3 min readHyderabadApr 1, 2026 03:43 PM IST Just days after releasing their highly anticipated album ARIRANG, BTS has unveiled a teaser for the music video of one of its tracks, “2.0” – and it has already sent the internet into a frenzy. Released at midnight KST on April 1, the teaser offers a glimpse into “2.0,” one of the B-sides from the group’s record-breaking new album ARIRANG. The track is produced by Mike WiLL Made-It and Pluss, with lyrics penned by RM, j-hope, V, Jungkook, and Suga. The 29-second clip opens with an elevator display at the first floor, where a group of men are seen arguing in a dimly lit hallway. As the elevator ascends to the second floor and the doors slide open, the BTS members appear in suits, styled like mobsters, and the scene shifts entirely. A hush falls over the crowd as they catch sight of the well-dressed figures inside. The camera then settles on RM, rocking a slick 1970s hairstyle and aviators, holding the frame with a quiet, intimidating …

BTS THE RETURN review: Seven men wrestle with fame, fear, and a heavy crown | Korean News

BTS THE RETURN review: Seven men wrestle with fame, fear, and a heavy crown | Korean News

Published by Parlour News

Four years is a long time in any industry. In pop music, it is practically a lifetime. Trends shift, audiences move on, and the artistes who were once unavoidable become questions rather than certainties. When BTS stepped away in late 2022 to fulfill South Korea’s mandatory military service, nobody knew exactly what they would be walking back into. BTS: THE RETURN does not pretend otherwise. The documentary sits inside that uncertainty and watches seven people try to find their footing again, and that honesty is what separates it from the kind of polished, carefully managed content their name usually produces. What sets this documentary apart from most is its refusal to ease you in gently. BTS: THE RETURN drops you straight into a Los Angeles recording studio in the summer of 2025, where seven men who clearly care deeply about each other are also, quite plainly, trying to rediscover their creative footing after years of being apart. Bao Nguyen’s camera does not arrive to applaud them. It arrives to watch them, and that single distinction …

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

Published by Parlour 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 …
