BTS's Arirang, conquering even Japan's Oricon

I am so proud to hear the news that BTS has achieved a combined 1 million album points on the Japanese Oricon chart. It feels even more amazing that they are the first overseas artists to set such a monumental record in the Japanese music market, a feat that is difficult even for local artists to achieve. In particular, just seeing the fact that this is their third time reaching 1 million points makes me realize once again just how consistently loved BTS's music is in Japan.

I think it is truly meaningful that this record was achieved through their 5th studio album, "Arirang," which captures Korean beauty and sentiment. It makes me feel proud and touched to know that an album containing Korean music and emotions is receiving deep love from Japanese fans across borders. It is truly amazing that, beyond simply being popular overseas, BTS's unique music and message are being naturally conveyed to local fans.
