Comeback is upon us! Here are the things we know:
- ARIRANG
- What is your love song?
- This
- …
Not a lot… Let’s fill in some of the blanks!
Imagine you were in charge of the concept for the largest comeback BTS has had to date. Taking into consideration the things we know, design your own ARIRANG concept!
How would you weave the theme of ARIRANG into the tapestry of the comeback? What sort of concept photos would you take? What would the fits look like? What other promo would you do? What sort of sets would you design for the tour or performances? Without knowing anything about the music, what sort of MV do you imagine?
Use images, words, fan art, anything to describe how you would design the ARIRANG concept. Choose one part or take on the whole thing! Be serious or silly! The only rules are no exclusive content (we don’t want to get dinged by BH) and no AI.
Share your ideas in the comments below! If you want to include multiple images, use imgur and add the links in your post to keep things neat.
NOTE: This is not a place to share theories, just something fun to celebrate comeback!

There have been several mentions of going back to their roots and one of the album version is called Rooted in Korea. I think a cool concept would be for them to somehow highlight their own roots. Maybe photoshoots in their hometowns or locations that have a special connection to them or to BTS. I could also see this being more about their Korean heritage which would offer a lot of opportunity to play off of symbolism and nostalgia. Maybe Korea through the decades? Or key events?
Since ARIRANG was chosen as the title and theme, I would love to see a continuation of the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s “Hanbok Wave” project into the costumes for a music video and/or one of the performances of the tour if one of the tracks warrants it.
