Since BTS announced their new album ARIRANG, scheduled to be released on March 20, the group has quickly become the focus of online discussions.
All updates of BTS related to the comeback, from initial suggestions to official teasers, are closely followed by fans.
Recently, BIGHIT MUSIC revealed a teaser image believed to be the album cover, immediately causing controversy. The photo is in a faded tone, in which the shadows of all seven BTS members in vests only appear faintly, almost blending into the background.
Many fans believe that this is a deliberate choice, aimed at creating mystery and may be a stepping stone for revealing the full album cover in the near future.
However, the reaction from a part of netizens is less positive. On the X platform, many opinions criticized the teaser for lacking visual highlights, especially when compared to the album covers that once made a strong impression on BTS before.
Despite receiving many mixed opinions, this teaser still contributes to keeping ARIRANG in the center of attention on social networks.
Whether these controversies will subside when the album cover is officially released is still uncertain, but at the present time, this is one of the most discussed promotional images in BTS's career.
