Kpop Boyband BTS to Visit 34 Cities in a Year for Comeback World Tour 'ARIRANG'
BTS ends a nearly four-year hiatus with their fifth studio album featuring 14 tracks, including lead single 'Swim,' and a live show expected to draw 260,000 fans, agency said.
- Last Friday, BTS returned as a full group, ending a three years and nine months hiatus with 'Arirang' at 1 p.m., BigHit Music said.
- After completing mandatory military service, the seven members held songwriting sessions in Los Angeles last summer to prepare for BTS' comeback album.
- Produced with star collaborators, the 14-track album features lead single 'Swim', an upbeat alternative pop song co-written by RM, with contributions from Diplo, Ryan Tedder and El Guincho.
- That comeback show will be streamed globally on Netflix, attracting 260,000 fans, and the group will perform at 'Spotify x BTS: Swimside' in New York on Monday and appear on NBC's The Tonight Show on March 25 and 26.
- BigHit Music framed the album as capturing BTS' Korea-rooted identity and 'the longing and deep love that lie within their hearts', while 'Arirang' references Korean cultural heritage through its folk song title.
