Join the community for a full comeback experience packed with music, love, energy, and nonstop vibes. This event is open to all ages, all fandoms, and everyone is welcome to join the celebration.

The Meaning of Arirang

"Arirang" is a traditional Korean love song that speaks of connection, longing, and resilience. It represents the heart calling out. This event asks every fan: What is your love song? Whether it is the track that made you stan, the one that healed you, or the one you scream in the car, this day is about celebrating BTS, ARMY, and the global K-Pop community that has grown through music and love.
