BTS to release limited-edition vinyl of Arirang album with bonus tracks to mark 13th anniversary

SINGAPORE – ARMYs can keep swimming to a special vinyl edition of BTS’ latest album Arirang ahead of the group’s 13th anniversary. The K-pop boy band’s agency BigHit Music said on June 1 that the vinyl will be released on June 12, one day before BTS celebrate the 13th anniversary of their debut. The new edition includes the 14 tracks from Arirang, along with voice messages featuring conversations among the seven members centred around the question “What is your love song?”. It will also include a Korean version of Normal, the ninth track in Arirang. The release date may vary by country and region because of the extended production time required for vinyl records, BigHit Music said. Pre-orders opened at 11am Korean time on June 2. BTS are currently on their Arirang world tour and are set to perform in Singapore at the National Stadium on Dec 17, 19, 20 and 22.
