On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, BTS officially unveiled the full tracklist for their highly anticipated fifth Korean studio album (tenth overall), ARIRANG, set to drop in just over two weeks on Friday, March 20, 2026.
This marks the group’s first full-group album in nearly four years—since the 2022 anthology Proof—following the members’ completion of mandatory military service and a period of individual solo activities. The 14-track LP draws deep inspiration from the iconic Korean folk song “Arirang,” weaving themes of cultural roots, identity, longing, resilience, and heartfelt connection. Notably, “SWIM” serves as the album’s lead single.
