K-pop sensation BTS has made headlines with the release of their new album titled 'ARIRANG', which drops just days before their highly anticipated concert in Seoul. This album is significant as it marks the boy band's return to the music scene after a lengthy hiatus of nearly four years, during which all seven members completed their compulsory military service.
