The group BTS is breaking a 3-year, 9-month silence with a distinctly Korean sensibility.

They will release their fifth full-length album, ‘ARIRANG(Arirang)’, on March 20.

BigHit Music announced on the 16th via Weverse that BTS will release its fifth full-length album, ‘ARIRANG(Arirang)’, on March 20.

This album puts forward the representative Korean folk song ‘Arirang’ as its title, emphasizing its roots and identity. The new record, which contains 14 tracks, sincerely captures universal emotions such as the longing and deep love felt by the members.

Along with this, BTS will begin a world tour of 79 shows, the largest in K-pop history, starting at Goyang Sports Complex on April 9. In particular, they will be the first Korean act to enter numerous stadiums in the United States, including El Paso and Baltimore, and will meet audiences with a 360-degree stage production.
