Hello ARMY! Today, I want to share something that’s been difficult for me to talk about. I’ve been struggling with chronic pain for over a year since an injury. I’ve tried many different treatments, but it’s still been a long and difficult journey, both physically and emotionally. I’m still doing my best to recover, one day at a time. I hope to be back here with you guys soon. 💜

Strength. Courage. Wisdom. BTS.

I think “ARIRANG” is one of their best albums so far, and every single song shines.

아미로서 내 이야기 조금 해볼게. I became ARMY in 2015, and I started Twitter in late 2017. I noticed that many international ARMY wanted to understand BTS more deeply — the news, the Korean lyrics, and the little thoughts or everyday moments the members shared in Korean during lives. So from time to time, I started posting translations. I never expected so many people to respond. So many ARMY supported me, and it made me genuinely happy. There were many similar accounts back then, and we all supported each other too. I had another full-time job, so trying to balance everything was not always easy. But the happiness was always greater than the difficulties, and that’s why I kept going. As time passed, it became about more than translations. There was a language only ARMY understood, even without words. I loved that. And whenever there was something we could do together—if it meant helping BTS shine brighter and reach further—we did everything we could online. Through that process, ARMY became closer. There were funny days, frustrating days, and deeply emotional days. We laughed together, got angry together, and cried together. Back then, I even translated the smallest K-media articles. But now… you know. The whole world’s media is watching BTS. Sometimes I stop and think about how far we’ve come. It still feels unreal. 사랑해, BTS. 사랑해, 아미.

K media said : BTS has been nominated in three categories at the American Music Awards, including the top honor, Artist of the Year. According to the list of nominees announced on April 14, BTS received nominations for Artist of the Year, Best Male K-Pop Artist, and Song of the Summer. With this, BTS will compete for Artist of the Year against nine major pop stars, including Bad Bunny, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga. BTS previously made history in 2021 as the first Korean act to win Artist of the Year. The American Music Awards is one of the major U.S. pop music award shows, often considered alongside the Billboard Music Awards and the Grammy Awards as one of the three biggest music awards ceremonies in the United States. The American Music Awards will be held on May 25 (local time) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Why? Do I look like a fan of an artist whose album ARIRANG just made K-pop history by going No.1 on the Billboard 200 for three consecutive weeks, becoming the first group album to do so since Babel by Mumford & Sons in 2012, remaining the only Korean act ever to achieve that milestone, earning 124,000 units this week including 71,000 pure sales, posting 532,000 first-week pure sales - the biggest weekly sales for a group album in more than a decade - and casually treating the Billboard 200 like a long-term residence? Yes, a fan of BTS, aka ARMY

K media asked : What are the highlights of this tour? RM : The moment I’m most excited about is when everyone can jump and enjoy themselves together on stage. I hope the entire venue feels like one huge club. There’s even a song we made with that feeling in mind, and I think I’ll be really happy when that moment actually comes to life. Jin : It’s a 360-degree stage, so we’ll be using every direction as if it were the front. It feels like something we’re trying again for the first time in a while since the 2019 fan meeting. Since the stage rotates and we move around too, I think it’ll be a fun and unique experience. (laughs) Suga : The moment I’m most looking forward to is when we first meet the audience. There are a lot of show-like elements in this performance, so I think it’ll be very enjoyable to watch. j-hope : Because it’s a 360-degree stage, each song will feel different in terms of atmosphere. I think that’s the biggest highlight of this world tour. It also feels like watching a full-scale show, and the way it incorporates Korean aesthetics is especially interesting. Jimin : What I’m most excited about is meeting ARMY who have been waiting for us for so long. In the past, many of our performances were focused on large-scale stages, which made it harder to try different types of staging. But this time, we put more effort into the visual aspects so the audience can enjoy it with their eyes as well. V : The songs, setlist, production, and overall composition are all very solid. It’s a performance we’re confident in and proud to show. Jungkook : Since it’s a 360-degree performance, I do have some concerns. I worry about making mistakes, but at the same time, being surrounded by the audience makes it more fun and special. There will be so many things to see, so I hope you look forward to it.

Why? Do I look like a fan of an artist whose album ARIRANG made K-pop history by securing No.1 on the Billboard 200 for two consecutive weeks, outperforming releases such as BULLY by Kanye West and HADES by Melanie Martinez? Yes. I am indeed a fan of BTS- also known as ARMY.

K media said BTS will unveil a surprise new track. On April 3, BTS will release the Deluxe Vinyl edition of their 5th full-length album ARIRANG. This vinyl includes the original 14 tracks along with an additional surprise song, “Come Over,” bringing the total to 15 tracks. Notably, this new song is available exclusively on the Deluxe Vinyl, adding to its special value. “Come Over” was produced by Suga, further elevating its quality, with RM and J-Hope also credited on the track. Blending a stadium anthem with pop elements, the song features spacious synthesizers and resonant vocals that create a grand, immersive sound. A heavy beat—evoking the stomping and clapping of a packed stadium—combines with a gently flowing guitar melody to enhance its atmosphere. The lyrics—“When a night that feels empty comes / I call out to you again / Yeah I’m lost, can I come over”—express the feeling of searching for “you” even in moments of being lost. This honest confession, of knocking on a door after wandering and asking to be accepted, ultimately connects to BTS’s heartfelt message toward ARMY, the fans who have always stood by their side.
