  Back during "2.0," there was chaos for like two hours as soon as the MV dropped, but not it's a bit quieter lol. I'm not being sarcastic—I just really loved "2.0" too. From "Hooligan," it feels like the only thing worth keeping is Jimin's styling (not a solo stan). Personally, I think Jungkook looked legendary in "Swim" Netflix studio live and Spotify, V in Gwanghwamun, Jin, RM, and J-Hope in the "2.0" MV, and Suga in the "Swim" pool live were the absolute best. Comments: [Pinned comment] + Since the comments are starting to turn messy, I'll step in and wrap things up. Like I wrote in the main post, I'm not a solo stan, and I really hate akgaes. "Hooligan" itself just isn't my taste—I simply don't like the MV concept or styling. It makes me wonder if that was really the best they could do. And please, don't start stirring things up with comments like "popular members this" ...

  HYBE is currently struggling with the spread of malicious fake news targeting its affiliated idol group, BTS. According to the entertainment industry on the 3rd, an image of unknown origin containing streaming data for "SWIM," the title track of BTS's 5th full-length album ARIRANG, rapidly spread across social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter). The image claimed that, as of the 1st, "Swim" had recorded 5,198 daily streams on Spotify—representing a drop of over 10 million streams compared to the previous day, or a 99.95% decrease. These figures spread beyond social media to stock discussion forums on portal sites, raising concerns among some investors about potential impacts on the company's stock price. However, the data was confirmed to be false. HYBE stated, "The image in question is not based on official aggregated data, and the figures themselves are unrealistic," adding, "After directly confirming with Spotify, we verified th...

  Original article:  Newsen Q: How do you feel about making a comeback after 3 years and 9 months?  ☉ Group: We feel excited and nervous, but above all, deeply emotional. Just being able to gather again as seven and do something together makes us happy and grateful. Since ARMYs have waited for so long, we prepares thoroughly and came back well. Being able to show you a good side of us again is incredibly moving and joyful. Since it's a group album after a long time, we were very excited, but also a bit scared. Still, with the members and ARMY by our side, we're not too worried.  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Q: What message do you most want to convey through this album?  ☉ Suga: We thought a lot about what truly represents us. Rather than something grand, we focused on "us" itself.  ☉ Jimin: We wanted to talk about continuing to move forward. There's always pressure to show something new and better, along with many concerns. Even so, we wanted to expr...

  Original article:  Naver The title track of BTS's fifth full-length comeback album ARIRANG is "SWIM," written by the group's leader, RM. BigHit Entertainment explained that the song conveys "the determination to keep moving forward without stopping amid the waves of life, and to calmly swim through the incoming currents at one's own pace."  Is it merely a coincidence—or part of a long-term vision he had a decade ago? Around 10 years ago, RM already had an idea that could be seen as the seed of "Swim" in an interview with Sports Kyunghyang. BTS appeared as exclusive interviewees in the outlet's 12th anniversary special issue dated May 16, 2017. At the time, BTS were in the midst of their second world tour, The Wings Tour . Marking roughly four years since their debut, the members were asked what they might be doing 10 years later, imagining what their lives would be like if they had not become BTS. RM, who was then promoting under the stag...

In addition to the logo, album title, tracklist, and the star-studded lineup of songwriters and producers that were previously revealed, fans have recently gained a clearer understanding of the historical concept that BTS and BigHit Music aim to convey through the animation trailer.  Along with the release of the animation trailer, fans were also surprised when a veteran producer who collaborated with BTS on the album—Picard Brothers—revealed that part of the melody from the first B-side track on ARIRANG had actually been headed through the music snippets heard in the trailer.  Alongside the animated trailer, BTS also unveiled their first group photos for the ARIRANG album. In these images, the members appear elegant and polished in tailored suits, reminiscent of the seven young men featured in the story depic...
