While we wait impatiently for that Spring Day coming in 2026, let's take a look back at each BTS album, starting from the very beginning! Welcome to our weekly BTS Album Rewind!

O!RUL8,2?

BTS released O!RUL8,2? on September 11, 2013, with title track N.O. BigHit had this to say about the release:

With O!RUL8,2? (Oh! Are you late, too?), BTS offers the message that “you must find your happiness and your own life before it’s too late.”
Lyrics that brutally lay open reality as it is deliver a bold admonition to a world that inflicts despair. Children are raised as studying machines without a chance to think about the future.
A world where classmates are not friends but competitors trying to trample each other. BTS sings about the wounds and anguish that such hopeless life has left on today’s teens. (source)
