From “BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN JAPAN,” where BTS (BTS) and ARMY (the name of the fans) in Japan reunited for the first time in about seven years, the performance of the first day at Tokyo Dome held on Friday, April 17 is included.

The bonus video includes “BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' TOKYO DOME BEHIND SKETCH,” which closely follows the backstage from the day before the Tokyo Dome performance through the first day of the performance. From the rehearsal on the previous day, to the members’ time in the dressing room on the day of the performance, the soundcheck event, and backstage during the actual performance, you can enjoy about 84 minutes of footage filled with the seven members’ natural expressions and their serious faces as they devote themselves to the stage.

Some K-pop artists, including IVE, KiiiKiii, FIFTY FIFTY, and Park Hyo-shin, submitted songs for the Grammy’s new Best Asian Pop Music Performance category, along with Japanese and other Asian acts. But BTS, Stray Kids, and other major-label artists declined, amid debate over whether the category helps or isolates Asian music.
According to Spotify, BTS’s 5th full album ARIRANG passed 5 billion cumulative streams as of the 14th, the most among 2026 releases. Every one of its 14 tracks topped 200 million streams, and the title track SWIM neared 1 billion. The album also set Billboard 200 records, including three straight weeks at No. 1.
Park Sae-mi suddenly announced that she will get married this week, posting wedding photos on SNS. She expressed affection for her groom-to-be, florist Kim Joon-young, and apologized for not being able to notify everyone personally. The couple, who met through a trainer, reportedly dated for about two years.
The Recording Academy has decided to keep the controversial Best Asian Pop Music Performance category for the 2027 Grammys. CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said the decision followed weeks of talks with Asian music leaders and creators, including critics and supporters, and that the Academy believes it is the right choice for the music industry.
