[📰 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒] #BTS about "ARIRANG"'s title track "SWIM" #RM: As it is the title track, we spent the longest time deliberating on it. We tried for a whole month to create a song that surpasses 'SWIM,' but it wasn't easy. When I first heard the song, I felt it had a clean and smooth charm, much like Pyongyang cold noodles. The more I listened to it, the more I felt a desire to "swim along with it." #Jin: Rather than a song that immediately grabs your attention from the start, it was a song with a power that remains unforgettable the more you listen to it. In particular, the rhythmic point that appears in the middle of the song (sounds like "ddong-tta-da-dang") is memorable. When listening to that part, I lose track of time. #Jhope: We strived to create a performance where the song is clearly audible even while watching the stage. There are details such as movements that express waves or points where we quietly sink as if diving. At first, I was worried that it might feel "boring" amidst songs with strong impacts, but as I listened more, I found myself naturally blending into the sound and feeling comfortable. It also matched the theme we wanted to convey the best, so we chose it as the title track. #V: Amidst the songs with strong sounds, "SWIM" felt the most understated. At first, I didn't think it was a stimulating song, but the more I listened to it, the more I felt that it was something I could cherish and listen to for a long time. #Jungkook: The more I listened to it, the more I felt, "This is the right fit." The lyrics capture moments that showcase "the current BTS," and the performance features new points different from our previous work, so I hope you will pay attention to them. Group: Just a song like life. We hope it is a song for everyone who simply swims day by day, splashing and breathing in and out. It is a song that gets warmer the more you listen to it, so we hope it becomes a source of strength for everyone as they go through their own lives. Also, just like 'Arirang,' which was passed from mouth to mouth and remained by people's side for a long time, we hope 'SWIM' will remain in the hearts of many for a long time.
