BTS's power proven once again with 4.71 million copies

I am truly proud to hear the news that BTS’s 5th studio album, ARIRANG, ranked first in album sales for the first half of the year, surpassing 4.71 million copies. Seeing them continue to receive steady love and set amazing records since their release, I could once again feel the immense influence unique to BTS. I believe this achievement is an even more meaningful milestone because it is the result of the passionate love gathered from fans around the world, going beyond mere sales figures.

ARIRANG has captivated the hearts of many listeners with its harmonious blend of outstanding musicality, high-quality stage production, and the members' deepened emotions and performances. It is also impressive that the entire album is loved, with all content—from the released music video and various photos to the concert stages—receiving high interest. The fact that the entire album, rather than just a single song, has been loved for such a long time seems to demonstrate the true power of a legendary artist.
