BTS‘ album release is right around the corner, and everyone is celebrating, including Target.
Arirang is the boy group’s 10th studio album and their first release post-hiatus, which began in 2022. That’s a whopping four years without any activity as a group, thanks to South Korea’s mandatory military service. The album is set to release on March 20 and features 14 tracks, including “Swim,” which appears to be the title track, along with “Body to Body,” “Hooligan,” “Aliens,” “FYA,” “2.0,” “No. 29,” “Into The Sun” and “Please,” among others. Now that they’ve returned, Target has teamed up with the K-pop act to drop Arirang merchandise alongside the boy group’s official lightstick. You can browse through the Target collection here.
K-pop fans know that official lightsticks are hard to find and buy, and they were even harder to buy back in the early days of K-pop. Thankfully, Target is making buying a BTS lightstick, otherwise known as an ARMY Bomb, easier and more accessible than ever before. If you didn’t know, lightsticks are usually light-up wands that correspond with a specific K-pop group. Every group from Aespa and KATSEYE to Stray Kids has one, often featuring a specific color or motif associated with the group. BTS’ ARMY Bomb has, as you’d expect, a clear bomb-shaped head and BTS’ logo on the inside.
