Globally acclaimed K-pop sensation BTS has released a captivating animated trailer for their upcoming fifth studio album 'Arirang'. The album, inspired by the eponymous 600-year-old Korean folk song, marks their comeback after a four-year hiatus due to mandatory military service.
The trailer takes viewers back to 1896, showcasing the story of seven young Koreans, known historically as the 'Howard Seven', who documented the first audio recording of the folk song in Washington, D.C. This narrative blends past and present, culminating in a modern concert scene featuring BTS.
BigHit Music, BTS's agency, emphasized the creative interpretation of history to introduce global audiences to 'Arirang's cultural and emotional importance. The eagerly anticipated album will be released on March 20, followed by a major live performance in Seoul, streamed globally via Netflix.
