BTS - ARIRANG (613 Limited Edition) [Picture Disc]

BTS come back together on ARIRANG, their fifth studio album, pressed here as a limited edition picture disc that is made to be looked at as much as played.

Released in 2026, it is the group's first studio album since BE and their first full statement after all seven members completed military service. The title nods to Arirang, the traditional Korean folk song about love, longing and separation, and the record carries that weight with a light touch. This is an album about where BTS came from, made by a group that spent years being pulled in every direction at once.

Longtime producer Pdogg anchors the credits alongside Diplo, Ryan Tedder, Mike Will Made-It and Kevin Parker, and the range shows. Body to Body opens with a confident strut, and Hooligan leans into the hard-hitting, trap-flavored hip-hop that drives the first half. Swim, the lead single, sits at the hinge of the record, where things turn warmer and more emotional, and Merry Go Round lets melody and groove take over from muscle.

Lyrically, the songs circle identity, fame, burnout and reunion without losing their sense of play. There is swagger here, but there is also relief.

For ARMY, this picture disc is a keepsake from a long-awaited homecoming, and proof that seven voices still sound like one group.
