After watching their Rolling Stone interview and hearing RM say that they want to keep pushing themselves musically and sonically, I was reminded of the way @SleepDeez described ARIRANG. This is BTS in 2026. Meet them where they’re at.

Dear Biggest Fanbase in the world, stream ARIRANG.

CNN ON how BTS changes economies👀👀👀 “Tens of millions of BTS fans worldwide, known as ARMY, are gearing up for the band’s return by spending on album-related merch—like new light sticks and HYBE-branded items—plus major travel expenses. Analysts project the group’s 34-city international tour could generate huge economic impact in South Korea, with some fans traveling multiple times in a short span to attend the shows. #bts”

K media said : BTS has been nominated in three categories at the American Music Awards, including the top honor, Artist of the Year. According to the list of nominees announced on April 14, BTS received nominations for Artist of the Year, Best Male K-Pop Artist, and Song of the Summer. With this, BTS will compete for Artist of the Year against nine major pop stars, including Bad Bunny, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga. BTS previously made history in 2021 as the first Korean act to win Artist of the Year. The American Music Awards is one of the major U.S. pop music award shows, often considered alongside the Billboard Music Awards and the Grammy Awards as one of the three biggest music awards ceremonies in the United States. The American Music Awards will be held on May 25 (local time) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

KTLA TV News in Los Angeles doing an entire segment on this BTS trend!

This CB is wild. We have radio (more than we've ever had), 3 weeks at #1 on the 200s, 3 weeks in the top 5 on the 100s, killing the global charts, and now we have US media fighting antis on BTS's behalf. We're living in WILD WILD times ARMY.

AMAs nominations are based SOLELY on US metrics (sales, streaming, concert data...etc). The cut off is 3/21/25 to 3/26/26 so all US streaming & sale activities BTS' discography did + the first week of ARIRANG release was enough to earn them AOTY nom. No favoritism involved.

From The Yard to the world stage 🌍🎶 Long before global fandoms and viral choreography, Howard University was already shaping cultural exchange. In 1896, Korean students brought the sounds of “Arirang” to campus… a moment that would echo across history. Today, that same spirit shows up in K-Pop’s global rise, where Black music, style, and performance continue to influence the sound and movement of a worldwide phenomenon. This is more than a moment… it’s a reminder that culture travels, connects, and evolves. And at Howard, it always has.
