BTS Sets First Record by a Foreign Artist at Japan's Oricon

According to Japan's Oricon on the 12th, BTS's 5th studio album 'ARIRANG' has achieved a cumulative 1 million points on the latest 'Combined Album Ranking'.

The 'Combined Album Ranking' is a chart that compiles various music consumption figures, including not only CD sales but also digital music downloads and streaming.

With this record, BTS has become the third album in total to surpass 1 million points, following the Japanese best album 'BTS, THE BEST' and the 4th Japanese studio album 'MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 ~ THE JOURNEY ~'.

It is especially significant that BTS is the only overseas artist to have achieved this record.

I am truly proud of the fact that the album continues to exert influence, receiving steady love not only in Korea but also in Japan.

It is a meaningful achievement that once again confirms the unceasing record of 'Arirang' and the global popularity of BTS.
