260305 | [AWARD] BTS won the “Grand Prize” in the “K-POP Idol Category” at the K-Brand Index Star Awards 2026 held by the Asia Brand Research Institute. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
| [Financial Review = Reporter Jeonghee Choi] BTS, whose members have all completed their military service and resumed activities as a full group, has proven itself to be the king of K-POP according to big data analysis results. The Asia Brand Research Institute, a big data evaluation agency, announced on the 5th that BTS was selected as the winner of the K-POP idol category of the ‘2026 K-Brand Index Star Awards’. The 2026 K-Brand Index Star Awards K-POP Idol category is the result of analyzing 12,621,778,969 online big data items from January 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026, targeting the top 30 search volumes on portal sites. This year’s awards rankings were calculated by combining the results of existing big data analysis with the official voting results conducted through the fandom voting platform ‘Stardom’. BTS took first place in the K-POP Idol category of the 2026 K-Brand Index Star Awards, while Stray Kids (2nd), Seventeen (3rd), Zerobase One (4th), Playbe (5th), Blackpink (6th), Espa (7th), Rise (8th), Ive (9th), and ATEEZ (10th) were named in the TOP 10. Han Jeong-geun, CEO of the Asia Brand Research Institute, explained, “This 2026 K-Brand Index Star Awards K-POP Group category is a massive report card on Hallyu culture, compiled with 12.6 billion big data and fandom votes. BTS, who took first place (Grand Prize), has once again impressed upon us that they are not just top artists but ‘irreplaceable symbols of K-pop’ with their overwhelming global dominance that makes even the variable of a long hiatus seem insignificant.” (http://www.financialreview.co.kr) |

| Happy birthday, @agustd! I hope all of ARMY is Shining with SUGA in celebration. Here are two of my favorite photos from SUGA’s solo appearance on the Tonight Show during his interview and the Imposter Challenge. I liked that both of these photos show SUGA smiling as he looked out. In the first photo, Jimmy mentions SUGA’s documentary, Road to D-Day that was released on Netflix, asking him if he was used to the cameras being around for such a production. SUGA laughs and remarks that he’s done many documentaries, and that he doesn’t feel uncomfortable around cameras. Then he points out that there are many cameras in front of him in that moment. The moment of this photo occurs at exactly the 6:00 mark in the full interview on YouTube. I hope SUGA and all the boys are getting some rest before their world tour. And that ARMY is also getting some rest ahead of the excitement of the new reunion. Happy birthday, SUGA. |

| “Hello Army, it’s #RM. It’s been a long time. On 5th studio album, Arirang, is about the universal emotions that we all share like love, joy, longing and the courage to keep going. The lead Single “SWIM”, counters on the resolve to keep moving forward through the waves of life. The love in this track goes beyond romantic feelings. It’s about “love for live” in its true sense by choosing to move at one’s own pace rather than resisting the current. I hope this song reaches everyone who is doing their best in their own place. I missed you so much, ARMY. See you soon” | “Hello, this is #SUGA. ARMY, are you ready to dive into “SWIM”, the lead single of our 5th studio album? We really put a lot of work into the sound of this one. By blending powerful drums and lo-fi synths and warm electric guitar, we added a special touch. We wanted the music itself to embody the resolve of navigating through the waves of live, so we worked really hard to deliver that though sound. I personally think the groove of this track is a kick. Once it’s out, I hope you can feel that strength in the rhythm, naturally moving you forward. Thank you for waiting for us, ARMY” | “Hi ARMY, it’s j-hope! You’ve been waiting for our new album ARIRANG, right? We’ve been working just as hard to get it ready for you. Our lead single, “SWIM”, is about having that resolve to keep moving forward, even through the rough tides of life. Even when things seem scary, we wanted to cheer you on every step of the way. Because we’ve got to keep moving forward, right? We poured all our positive energy and our promise to stay with you into every single line. I hope our sincerity reaches your hearts. Let’s keep “SWIM”ming together, okay? We’ll always be by your side. Thank you, ARMY!” |

Our lead single, “SWIM” is an upbeat alternative pop track that carries the message we wanted to share within its energetic sound. The vibrancy of old-school drums blends with warm electric guitar, so you can feel the strength the moment you hear it. If you listen closely to the lyrics, you’ll find much deeper meaning: the will to keep moving forward and the love for life. We worked hard to blend this message and the sound together. While the process wasn’t always easy, finding that balance with the members was a precious and happy experience for me. I hope you love it just as much! See you soon, ARMY!” | Hello, ARMY! This is V, Sometimes, life can feel like a wave. That is just too big & heavy, it can be scary & there are times when your heart feels heavy too.

Don’t compare yourself to others it’s okay to keep moving forward at your own pace, we will be right there, swimming right next to you. I hope this song feels like a warm hug for you” |

260316 | [Article] Why Seoul is ‘Red’ Instead of ‘Purple’ on the Day of the BTS Concert
| With BTS set to return as a complete group for the first time in about four years, their comeback concert is scheduled to take place in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, on the 21st, and the entire city of Seoul is expected to be bathed in the red light that is BTS’s new theme. On the 16th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it has prepared a variety of welcoming programs in collaboration with HYBE for the global fans, “ARMY,” visiting Seoul for the concert. The most eye-catching feature is the change in landscape lighting at major Seoul landmarks. For two hours starting at 7:30 PM on the comeback day, the 20th, and the concert day, the 21st, 15 of Seoul’s landmarks—including Sebitseom, Cheonggyecheon Stream, Seoul Botanic Garden, Namsan N Seoul Tower, and Lotte World Tower—will simultaneously light up in red. Combining LED lighting, music, and a fountain over 1 kilometer long, the event is expected to provide a spectacular sight for citizens and tourists at Banpo Hangang Park. From the 6th to the 19th of next month, a 500-meter section of Cheonggyecheon Stream between Ogansugyo Bridge and Beodeuldari Bridge will be decorated as the ‘Arirang Lightwalk’ ( BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SEOUL Cheonggyecheon Walking Path), featuring symbols of BTS, promising to offer fans a special walking experience. A ‘K-pop Walking Tour Course’ will also be established, connecting BTS music video filming locations with the HYVE (agency) headquarters. It will operate with three courses: ‘Comfort of the Han River,’ ‘Song of Cheonggye,’ and ‘Arirang of the Plaza.’ Guided tours accompanied by cultural tourism commentators will also be held twice a day, at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Reservations can be made on the Walking Tour Guide website. Regarding the reason for choosing red instead of purple, a Seoul city official explained, “Since the color of their new album ‘Arirang’ is red, we decided to use red lighting (at the request of the organizer, HYBE),” adding, “It will look as if the entire city has become a giant concert stage.” Special events will continue not only at the lighting venues but also along the Han River and throughout the city center. |

260321 |WWD Instagram Inside the making of BTS’ Comeback show costumes with designer Jay Songzio (1)
| @bts.bighitofficial’s long-awaited reunion wasn’t just a performance — it was a cultural moment. For their “Arirang” comeback, the group stepped out in custom @songzio_official looks that fused traditional Korean dress with avant-garde, armor-inspired design, turning each member into a modern-day protagonist. | “I tried to build a story where these members become some sort of heroes, some sort of warriors who are fighting in these turbulent times and then leading to a brighter future,” Songzio told WWD. From fluid hanbok silhouettes to sculptural “Lyrical Armor,” the stage became a visual narrative of identity, emotion, and heritage — proving once again that BTS doesn’t just return, they redefine the moment. | Read more on the making of the show’s costumes at WWD.com — #linkinbio Report: @rhondarichford Photos: Courtesy of Songzio |

260325 |[Article] INSIDE BTS’ SECRET PERFORMANCE AT NYC’S GUGGENHEIM FOR ‘TONIGHT SHOW’ (1)
| The Guggenheim in New York City is one of the most famous art museums in the world, and on the morning of Wednesday (March 25), BTS descended on the landmark to add a little performance art to its galleries ahead of the band’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon appearance. Billboard was on the scene as RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook sang and danced to two tracks from their new album, ARIRANG, which dropped earlier in March. One of them was “SWIM,” the project’s lead single, while the other was “2.0.” | There were about 150 fans invited to the top-secret performance, and no phones were allowed. The septet performed the two tracks in the Guggenheim’s striking multi-story round in the main lobby — and while RM was able to dance for “SWIM,” he sat on a stool during “2.0” as he recovers from the ankle injury he suffered shortly prior to BTS’ March 21 comeback show in Seoul. As previously announced, the Bangtan Boys will appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night for their first full-group late-night interview since reuniting. One of BTS’ Guggenheim performances from Wednesday morning will air during the episode, while the second will be shown to Fallon viewers on Thursday (March 26) | The Guggenheim showcase and Fallon interview come as BTS has been promoting ARIRANG — the group’s first full-length since 2020’s Billboard 200-topper Be — in New York City. A few days prior, the members answered ARMY questions and performed for an immersive Spotify fan event. Check out BTS’ interview and the first of the band’s two Guggenheim performances when Fallon airs at 11:35 p.m. on NBC. |

| Today, BTS: The Return finds its way into the world and here are some of my favorite scenes from the film. Making this film was an incredible privilege. To witness BTS in this chapter – after time apart, in a season of return, reflection, and renewal – felt like standing near something both intimate and immense. What stayed with me most was the chance to see not only the iconography of BTS, but the humanity within it: the thoughtfulness, vulnerability, brotherhood, and quiet courage it takes to begin again. My deepest thanks to the members of BTS for their trust and openness. Thank you for letting us into a moment that felt suspended between memory and possibility, and for allowing us to bear witness. Thank you to HYBE and Big Hit Music for your belief, partnership, and creative trust. Thank you to Netflix for helping bring this film to audiences around the world. Thank you to my extraordinary crew, collaborators, and producing team. Every film is made through a thousand acts of care, and I was lucky to make this one alongside people of real talent, dedication, and heart. And thank you to ARMY. Your devotion, patience, and love are part of the story itself. I hope this film offers something in return – a reflection of this moment, and a reminder of the bond that makes BTS what it is. Honored to share BTS: The Return today. Now streaming on Netflix. |

| For @bts.bighitofficial’s Tonight Show takeover appearance, the group did a “fan surprise” with Jimmy. A few very select fans were invited to be part of an experience. The ruse was that they were told that they were going to sing karaoke along to BTS songs from the new album, ARIRANG. They entered a special booth that the show constructed in a studio, which featured a microphone, headphones, and a screen showing the song lyrics. The booth was decorated with BTS albums as well. As the music started and the fans sang along, there was another set piece of a completely different room in the studio that was moved into place, so that the singing booth’s door would now open into this new room. As the participants sang along to the tracks, BTS and Jimmy were just outside, watching on a monitor. This photo is a still of the group enjoying the karaoke. I love that you can see everyone smiling and enjoying the performances. During the singalong, BTS and Jimmy entered the new room to surprise the guests. I invited a friend who loves BTS to be part of this experience. She was in the very last group shown in the full bit. She’s a legend now. I had only told her that she’d be singing karaoke, so she was completely surprised when she opened the door to see BTS and Jimmy playing Twister in an entirely new room. RM even tried to comfort her in her shock, it was very touching and sweet to see the members care for their fans like that. |

| What. A. Week. From LA to Seoul to NYC and back to LA, it’s been a whirlwind taking BTS: The Return out into the world and getting to share it with audiences in such meaningful ways. I’m still taking it all in. So much gratitude to our partners and supporters at HYBE, Netflix, This Machine, and EAST Films for helping bring this film to life and carry it across the finish line. Special thanks to @genesishousenyc for hosting us in NYC, and to @taaforg for hosting us in LA. And most of all, thank you to everyone who has watched the film and reached out with such thoughtful, generous responses. We really tried to make something honest, emotional, and meaningful, and it’s been incredibly moving to feel that connection coming back. A week I won’t forget. |

| BTS Are Back on Top With Record-Breaking First-Week ‘Arirang’ SalesThe supergroup’s comeback album Arirang, their first full-length LP in six years, moved 641,000 total copies, including 532,000 in pure album sales By Larisha Paul March 29, 2026BTS Are Back on Top With Record-Breaking First-Week ‘Arirang’ SalesBTS are back in a big way. The supergroup’s comeback album Arirang, their first full-length LP in six years, brought in record-breaking first week sales. Arirang sold 641,000 total copies in its first week of release — the most by a group since Billboard started tracking streaming numbers in 2014 — including 532,000 in pure album sales. That latter figure is the biggest by a group in over a decade, Billboard reports; it’s the most pure album sales by a group since One Direction’s Midnight Memories in 2013. Within 24 hours of arrival, Arirang racked up the most single-day streams for an album released this year on Spotify. BTS also brought in their all-time biggest streaming day on Apple Music. The numbers show that the record was worth the wait. BTS spent the past few years on hiatus as RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook completed their mandatory military service in South Korea and explored solo projects. “During the time away, ironically, the world got to know these seven men better than ever as individuals. They all got to display sides they’d never gotten to show in public before,” Rob Sheffield wrote in Rolling Stone‘s review of Arirang. “All seven spent the interregnum learning how to go somewhere new on their own. But now, they finally get to take everything they learned, everything they explored, and bring it all back to the group where it began. That’s the power of Arirang — seven different voices, but united again and stronger than ever.” The 14-track album brought BTS together with an inspired slate of collaborators, from Ryan Tedder and Tyler Johnson to Teezo Touchdown, JPEGMafia, Flume, Diplo, Mike Will Made-It, and more. In a new documentary, the band revealed that Jin is absent from the songwriting credits on the record because of prior tour obligations that kept him from the bulk of their writing sessions. “They made a really nice album while I was on tour,” he said. “Coming in late and not really knowing where everyone’s at is scary, because I have to figure out where I fit into all of this. But having spent the last 12 years together, I’ve kind of known what to do without being told.” They all share the victory of their return. |
