BTS Comeback, English Title Song SWIM

Group BTS's 5th full-length album 'ARIRANG' has been released, and the music video for the title track '​SWIM' has been unveiled. The music video was filmed against the backdrop of the sea in Lisbon, Portugal, boasting overwhelming scale and visual beauty.

The video begins on a ship sailing across an endless sea, sensuously expressing the excitement, tension, and moments of challenge before a new journey. Hollywood actress Lili Reinhart made an appearance, and Tano Muino directed the video.

The BTS members shared that a point to look forward to in this album is that "you can see a subtly more mature BTS," and they expressed their anticipation for an immersive experience like watching a movie due to the video's narrative. They also shared a happy memory of a scene filmed in the rain, which turned out beautifully despite the unfavorable weather during filming.

The new album 'ARIRANG' contains BTS's identity and universal emotions that many people can relate to. The title track 'SWIM' is an alternative pop genre song that sings of an attitude of moving forward without stopping amidst the waves of life, expressing the will to move forward at one's own pace as 'love for life'.

The title track 'SWIM' is composed of entirely English lyrics, and along with its dreamy yet refreshing sound, onomatopoeic words like "Splash," "Drift," and "Drip" are added, creating a dynamic and sensual feel.
