BTS have shared their 'SWIM' video, taken from their just dropped new album, 'ARIRANG'

Returning after a six-year hiatus during which all seven members completed mandatory South Korean military service, BTS have dropped their fifth full-length studio album 'ARIRANG'. Alongside the release, the group have unveiled the official music video for album track 'SWIM'.

Directed by Tanu Muiño, the visual features actress Lili Reinhart and depicts RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook aboard a sailing ship in a high-seas setting. The 14-track album features contributions from Diplo, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, Mike WiLL Made-It and Ryan Tedder.

A free concert at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul is planned for 21st March, where an estimated 260,000 people are expected to watch. It will be the septet's first live performance together since their October 2022 show in Busan, which formed part of South Korea's World Expo hosting bid.

BTS are also scheduled to appear on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon next week. An in-studio interview and first performance will air on 25th March, followed by a second performance the next evening.
