[talk] BTS Painted Holi Purple: Every Surprise They Dropped This Week

ARMY had quite the colourful Holi this year — because BTS made sure the celebrations came with a full gift bag of surprises.

The Tracklist Drop

On March 3, BTS revealed the official 14-track tracklist and producer credits for ARIRANG, with "Swim" confirmed as the lead single and "Into the Sun" closing out the album.

 

The lineup features global heavyweights including Diplo, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, Mike WiLL Made-It, El Guincho, and Ryan Tedder.

 

The tracklist cards? Handwritten by the members themselves. Yes, really.

The Google Scavenger Hunt

BTS teamed up with Google to launch a mobile-only scavenger hunt — kick it off by typing "BTS" in the search bar, where a message-in-a-bottle icon appears.

 

Solving trivia quests unlocks 14 collectible cards featuring the ARIRANG tracklist in the members' own handwriting.

 

New quest rounds drop on March 9 and March 16, with the fandom already collectively solving over 5.8 million quests.

 

 

The Netflix Trailer

 

Netflix dropped the official trailer for BTS The Comeback Live | ARIRANG, set to stream live from Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on March 21 — featuring the group's first live performances of songs from the new album.

 

The teaser opens with fan reactions to the 2022 hiatus announcement, scored by an orchestral version of "Mikrokosmos," with RM declaring: "Seven together, we can do anything."

 

A documentary film, BTS: The Return, directed by Bao Nguyen, follows on Netflix on March 27.

 

Holi 2026 just hit different. 💜
