BTS have released an animated trailer for their 5th full-length album “ARIRANG”.

The trailer takes creative inspiration from an article published in ‘The Washington Post’ on May 8, 1896, which reported that the Korean folk song “Arirang” was among the first Korean songs recorded on a gramophone record.

In the past, the BTS members transformed into seven young men who travelled to a foreign land to share the sounds of Korea with the world, then traversed time to spread Korea’s sounds in the present.

Meanwhile, “ARIRANG” is set for release on March 20 at 1 PM KST.
