Aaaaaaah so fitting
ARIRANNGGGGGG
[via South of Seoul ](https://blog.southofseoul.net/what-is-meaning-arirang/)website
***The first meaning of “Arirang” is simple, it’s a song.*** *In fact, it’s the most popular traditional folk song in Korea. However, when talking about “Arirang” Koreans will tell you that it’s not just a popular song. Instead, hearing and singing the song reaches the soul of Korea or* [*‘Han’*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_(cultural)) *(wiki). The song and the emotions you feel listening to the song encapsulate the spirit, history, and emotions of the Korean people.*
I encourage everyone to read through more about this, I know I’ll be diving in!!
edit: the album versions are making me tear up ‘rooted in korea’, ‘rooted in music’, ‘living legends’. I’m so proud of them. I’m so proud to be ARMY.
Finally the album name reveal!! I already love it so much 🤩
OMG
How beautiful!!!! Arirang is so fitting for BTS and their journey as artists, too.
Rooted in Korea version
Rooted in Music version
When they said they were going back to basics, I didn’t expect them to *really* go back to basics. This is their identity and their history not just as idols, but as Koreans.
I read before that Spring Day resonates so much with Koreans because it has Han, the same element that the song Arirang contains. Spring Day evokes the same emotions as Arirang: sorrow, longing, love, and hope. It’s resilience and overcoming hardships. It’s BTS in a nutshell.
I can’t wait to hear what they want to say in this album.
Let’s gooooo
lol I was just watching their Arirang performance a few weeks ago
I am crying. It’s all white!! They really are keeping everything under wraps. 🤣🤣
ARIRANG!!! A NEW ERA IS HERE ❤️💜
Seven vinyls!!!! I love vinyls!
Oh my godddd I love them so fucking much 😭😭😭😭
Choosing the very Korean title of “ARIRANG” for their comeback album that the whoooole world will be tuned in for 😭
The TWO versions being “Rooted in music” and “Rooted in Korean”…oh tannies, I’m so so proud to be a fan allll the time!
I hope that one person I saw wishing for “not all the songs to be in English” feels reassured by this lol
OMG ARIRANG!! THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES™!!!
It looks like each member is going to have their own vinyl edition???? My brain is melting…
K-ARMY – can someone plz explain if there is cultural significance to the album name Arirang? I see this name – oh there is a TV channel in SK with this name?
Ahhh, the name is so fitting 🥹
IT’S CALLED ARIRANG ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Getting flashbacks to everyone asking JK to sing Arirang in his lives pre military, and him going ‘why Arirang?’
omg guys the name is SOOO GOOD!!! What do you mean, ARIRANG!?!? I love it so much!!
also the versions being called rooted in korea, rooted in music, pls this is like the most perfect name for their comeback album😭😭
I want them to sing Arirang at their concert….
ARIRANG 😭😭 I love it, I love them, I love everything in this moment
ARIRANG! The Korean flag theories for the circle symbols might be true after all, if not close? How beautiful 🥹
I’m in tears! Arirang is such a fitting name for their comeback album! 🥹
I just know this album is going to be one for the books!💜
please give us an official version of the Arirang cover they did at one of the year end award shows way back when!!

Absolutely unexpected album name but I love it! And can’t wait, this seems to truly be something we haven’t heard before from them!
Also, who was it that Yoongi promised to make a folk Korean song with, Namjoon? 😀
The album being titled Arirang truly brought tears to my eyes! These Korean legends 💜💜
VINYL!!!! HOW DO I CHOOSE BETWEEN NINE VINYLS????!?!?!?
well, this is definitely NOT an English album with a title like this. 🤣
this is exciting
This is so beautiful on so many levels, absolutely cannot wait to see the concept art!!!!
Guys, I’m ill and seeing the album name turned my excited scream into a violent coughing fit. Worth it. 😭😭
What a poetic, fitting name. Maybe we can expect some of the music to have a traditional folk sound influence? I mean I hope so, I’m a sucker for that kind of sh*t!!
Just like BTS to come back with an album titled “Arirang” and have versions “rooted in music” and “rooted in Korea” after facing all those western allegation rumors…they’re rly keeping the design under wraps tho. You’re gonna have to reveal it sooner or later bighit!!
Okay, if they don’t put their own version of Arirang on the album, I’ll be sad
Hi r/bangtan! This is so exciting. Just wanted to remind everyone of the conversation over on our [Purple Planet Project thread about sustainably participating in the comeback and tour](https://www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/s/Cf9T2XUKdt). It is okay to buy as many versions as you want, and it is extremely okay to get none too! We just want to be conscious of not being wasteful so do spare a thought around this before you decide to make your purchase!! Happy comeback ARMY! Fighting!!
seeing this on spotify after so long 😭
