BTS "There's no time like now for change"...Netflix documentary 'BTS: The Return' to be released on the 27th

The group BTS has revealed their honest thoughts on musical changes ahead of the release of their fifth studio album 'Arirang' (ARIRANG).

In the trailer for the documentary 〈BTS: The Return〉 (BTS: THE RETURN) released on Netflix on the morning of the 17th, BTS stated, "Trends change, and we can't keep doing the same thing," adding, "If we want to make a change, now is the time."

The trailer includes scenes from their recent world tour, enlistment site, and new song production in Los Angeles, USA. The members described themselves as "still country boys from Korea" and reflected on the team's identity and starting point ahead of their comeback. This aligns with the thematic consciousness of their new album, which looks back at the team's roots.

The trailer also features the members enjoying ordinary daily life, naturally introducing the emotions and daily experiences of 'the current BTS'. As the folk song 'Arirang', which is also the album title, plays in the background, the members expressed, "We think we have come back to where we should naturally return," and raised expectations for their comeback activities with the message, "Could this be a scene that only we can direct?" Additionally, there are scenes of all seven members gathering in one space for idea meetings and engaging in recording and filming.

〈BTS: The Return〉 will be released on Netflix on the 27th. Directed by Bao Nguyen, who was nominated in three categories at the Grammy Awards for 'Best Music Film' and the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards for the documentary 〈The Greatest Night in Pop〉.
