From surprise-song performances to city-specific fan moments, BTS is giving ARMY more reasons to fall in love with the group all over again. ARMY, be honest: How many times have you watched a BTS concert clip and immediately wished you were in that crowd? 💜 BTS is back on the road with the BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG, and the excitement goes beyond spectacular staging and a setlist packed with music from the group's latest era and beloved hits. What makes the tour especially exciting for fans is the way familiar performances can become personal, unexpected, and different from one city to the next. 5 BTS ARIRANG Tour Moments ARMY Can't Stop Talking About (@army.borahae_7/Instagram) Recent tour coverage has highlighted changing song selections, local touches, and moments when fans become part of the story. Whether you've already experienced the tour live or are following every update from home, here are five things making this BTS era worth watching. 1. The Surprise-Song Slot Has ARMY Guessing Imagine hearing the opening notes of a BTS song you never expected to hear that night. Now imagine thousands of ARMY members realizing at the same time what the group is about to perform. One of the tour's most exciting details is its rotating “random song” section, which gives the members an opportunity to perform different tracks at different stops. The selections can reach into BTS' earlier releases, title tracks, and other parts of its discography. That creates a delicious kind of uncertainty for fans: the main show may follow a familiar structure, but one special section can give a particular concert its own identity. For longtime ARMY, it is also a reminder of just how much music BTS has built over the years. Every era has a song someone has been waiting to hear live. ARMY question: Which BTS B-side or older track would make you lose your mind if it appeared in the surprise-song slot? 2. The Setlist Connects BTS' New Era With Its Biggest Hits A comeback tour has a big job to do: celebrate where an artist is now without forgetting the songs that brought fans along for the journey. BTS' ARIRANG tour brings its newer material together with established fan favorites. The opening-night setlist in Goyang included “Hooligan,” “Body to Body,” “SWIM,” “MIC Drop,” “Butter,” and “Dynamite,” among other songs. That mix gives the show more than one emotional gear. Newer tracks introduce the group's current musical direction, while familiar songs give the stadium a chance to sing along to music that has soundtracked years of fandom. And let's face it: hearing a favorite BTS song through a stadium full of ARMY is a very different experience from playing it through headphones. The appeal is not simply nostalgia. It is seeing how the group's past and present can exist together in one live show. Tell us: Which BTS song would you absolutely need on the setlist to feel that the concert was complete? 3. BTS Is Bringing Korean Identity to a Global Stage One of the defining ideas behind the ARIRANG era is the connection between BTS' global reach and its Korean roots. At the group's comeback performance in Seoul, the production incorporated imagery connected to Korean heritage, setting the stage for a new chapter that remained closely tied to the group's identity. BTS wearing custom hanbok suits at the ARRANG COMEBACK LIVE in Gwanghwamun Square (BigHit Music) That connection also matters on tour. BTS can perform in front of audiences around the world while keeping Korean language, culture, and identity at the center of the experience. For international fans, the result is an opportunity to connect with the music while discovering more about the cultural references woven into the show. It is one of the reasons BTS' performances can feel bigger than a collection of hit songs: the stage becomes a place where Korean identity and global fandom meet. And for ARMY who have followed the group since its early days, seeing that identity remain part of the story can make this era especially meaningful. 4. Every City Gets a Chance to Become Part of the Story A world tour might visit the same stadium format across multiple countries, but the people in each crowd bring their own energy, language, traditions, and memories. Recent ARIRANG tour coverage has pointed to city-specific greetings, outfit details, and other local touches that help distinguish individual stops. In Lima, for example, BTS members wore outfits featuring their real names and messages connected to Hangul Day, while also addressing the crowd in Spanish. These details can become the moments fans remember long after the lights come up. A greeting in the local language. A reference that makes sense to the people in the stadium. A song choice that connects with a particular place. Small gestures can help make a massive production feel more personal. They also give fans watching from other countries something to discuss: what happened at one stop, what might happen at the next, and which local detail they would love to see at their own show. ARMY, your turn: If BTS came to your city, what local song, phrase, tradition, or special moment would you want the members to experience? 5. The ARMY Connection Is Still the Heart of the Experience The staging, choreography, visuals, and production all matter. But a BTS concert would not feel the same without the people singing, cheering, waving their ARMY Bombs, and sharing the experience with thousands of other fans. The group's Busan concerts in June 2026 offered a particularly emotional example. The two-show run coincided with BTS' 13th debut anniversary weekend, and coverage described the concerts as a homecoming that brought the members and their fans together after the group's long break from group touring. BTS ARIRANG World Tour Busan stop in June 2026 (BigHit Music) That is the emotional thread running through this tour: BTS is performing new music and revisiting familiar hits, but ARMY is also celebrating the journey that made those songs meaningful in the first place. For some fans, the moment they remember most might be a favorite member's smile. For others, it might be hearing an entire stadium sing the same lyrics or finally seeing a song performed live after years of waiting. Those experiences are personal, and no two fans will tell the story in exactly the same way. That is part of what makes following the tour so compelling—even if you are watching from thousands of miles away. So, ARMY, Which BTS ARIRANG Tour Moment Would Mean the Most to You? The ARIRANG tour is giving fans plenty to talk about, from the evolving song selections and connections to Korean culture to the local touches that make each stop feel distinctive. But the best concert moment is always going to be personal. Maybe you are waiting to hear your favorite B-side. Maybe you want to experience the new era's live performances. Or maybe you simply want to stand in a crowd of people who understand exactly why BTS means so much to you. Now we want to hear from you, ARMY! 💜 👇 Answer in the comments: Which BTS song would make you scream if it appeared on the setlist? Which member are you most excited to see perform live? What would make your dream BTS concert unforgettable? Share this with your fellow ARMY, compare your dream setlists, and keep following Dojeon Media for more BTS news, tour updates, and K-pop stories. Because the concert may end, but the ARMY memories are just getting started. 💜 #BTSUpdates #ARIRANGWorldTour

SEVENTEEN is set to make history by being the first K-pop act to perform at Glastonbury Festival UK this summer! Our Dojeon Media's very own, Lewis, is from the UK and he takes you on a musical journey to one of the UK's biggest music festivals! Read on for all the exciting details! So if you didn't already know, I am from Bristol in the UK, and Glastonbury is less than one hour's drive from my home. Each year tickets for the festival sell out almost instantly, and in the past few years, tickets have become harder and harder to get your hands on! When I heard the news that 2024 will see the debut of a K-pop band at the festival I was excited as it shows that they are incorporating acts from non-Western countries. Although when I heard the lineup was the band SEVENTEEN I would have to say that I became a bit skeptical, as I am not too sure how well they will be received compared to other K-pop acts. That being said, the Glastonbury stage is famous throughout the world and is an AMAZING platform for artists, especially since SEVENTEEN will be performing on the world-famous Pyramid Stage! Among the other world-famous artists appearing on the Pyramid Stage will be Dua Lipa, Coldplay, SZA, and Shania Twain. In the past, Elton John, Beyoncé, and Dolly Parton have also performed on the Pyramid Stage! Glastonbury is a five-day festival that is set to take place between June 26 -30, 2024, and it will be held at the Eavis Worth Farm in Pilton, South West England. Now Glastonbury is known as the "Grandaddy of UK music festivals", and since its humble routes were similar to that of a hippie festival when it started out, it now welcomes 210,000 crowdgoers, and before the lineup was even announced the tickets were sold out for the 2024 show. Isn't that crazy?! With all of the concertgoers, there are thousands of tents on site. Of course, this is the way to do a proper festival in the UK and by camping you do really get the true experience! You can opt for the Glamping pitches where tents are provided for a fee, however, most people bring their own and sadly do leave them there afterward, so there is a big clean-up event. For me attending a festival is all about the experience. When I attended, I used the glamping facility for cleaner toilets and a pre-set-up tent, which allowed me to enjoy the festival more. Sadly, as I am in Korea now I won't be attending this year's festival, though I will be watching the highlights afterward! I strongly believe that this famous UK festival will help SEVENTEEN become more successful in the UK and Europe as it will propel them into UK households as most UK citizens watch Glastonbury as it is streamed on various TV networks including the BBC! Let us know in the comments below if you have tickets to Glastonbury 2024! Make sure to tag us on your socials when sharing your SEVENTEEN pics!

South Korea's tourism industry braces for BTS' reunion gold rush in June. We talk about the potential ability for ARMY to transform South Korea's tourism and its economy and all the BTS goodies it will bring! Image: BTS 2025. Photo: jettriwood.pages.dev Word on the street in South Korea is that BTS , the K-pop titans, might just reunite in June, sending waves of excitement through the nation. Even though their agency, Big Hit Music , hasn't officially confirmed the reunion, the ARMY – BTS's devoted fanbase – and travel gurus are already forecasting a major boost in tourism, not just in Seoul, but across the country. ARMY! You already know this, but for anyone just tuning in, BTS are seriously global icons. They've smashed records everywhere – Billboard, YouTube, you name it! It's not just the music, though; they've spoken at the UN, teamed up with huge brands, and they've changed pop culture in a way we haven't seen in ages. So, the idea of them possibly getting back together in June, right when everyone's traveling? It's huge! People are already buzzing about how it could be a massive win for South Korea, from local shops to the government. Get ready! For ARMY: Navigating Military Service and Dreaming of June Okay, ARMY, you know the drill. Here in South Korea, it's a given that our guys have to do their military service – around 18 to 21 months, depending on which branch they're in. Jin , our eldest, started things off back in December 2022. Then Hobi joined in April 2023. The other members are going when it's right for them. It's tough not having them together as a group, but they've been amazing, giving us their solo work and keeping in touch online. That whisper about a possible June reunion has got us all thinking... could some of them maybe tweak their schedules to be together for something special? We're keeping our fingers crossed! More Than Fans: ARMY's Potential to Transform South Korean Tourism ARMY, let's talk about our  power! Did you know that BTS pumps about five trillion  won (that's almost five billion  US dollars!) into the South Korean economy every single year ? Seriously! It's not just album sales and sold-out stadiums – though we definitely take care of those 😉 – it's everything! Think about the hotels we book, the stores we hit for merch, even the Korean beauty products we buy. We're not just numbers; we're a force fueled by our love for the guys! Image: South Korea features BTS members in their recent tourism promotional video series. | Twitter If you've ever scrolled through ARMY Twitter (and who hasn't?), you know we don't just casually like a post. We plan trips, organize epic fan gatherings, and some of us even learn Korean just to connect with their music and culture on a deeper level! Because of our incredible passion, South Korea has become the  place to be for ARMY. We want to see everything – their favorite hangouts, filming locations, and snag those limited-edition goodies. There's something so special about being in the place where it all started, right? It makes us feel even closer, like we're part of their story. We're not just buying souvenirs; we're chasing experiences that link us to the heart of BTS's world. It's about belonging, it's about our identity as ARMY, and it's about sharing that love right here in their homeland. Fingers Crossed! Government and Businesses Gear Up for a BTS Reunion Tourism Wave Image: BTS members eating together 2020 - Photo: Koreaboo.com You know those places our boys have talked about, ARMY? Like the amazing food stalls at Gwangjang Market or those cozy little cafes in Seoul ? Well, they're not just expecting the usual crowd of tourists; they're bracing themselves for a massive wave of ARMY descending! And the big stores? They're already filling their shelves with all the BTS goodies we could ever want. Some of the local coffee shops are even planning fan gatherings, dreaming of welcoming us, even if we're flying in from the other side of the world! It's like everyone's getting ready to give us the warmest welcome possible. The Ripple Effect: BTS's Enduring Cultural Legacy (and Our Part in It!) Think about it, ARMY! Beyond all the buzz about the economy, a fantastic BTS reunion would really show the world just how powerful our pop culture is in shaping how everyone sees South Korea. Over the past ten years, our country has become a leader in trends – K-pop, K-dramas, and all things beauty are loved everywhere! And with BTS leading the way, South Korean culture is more respected than ever. A reunion now could solidify their place as the  top cultural ambassadors for South Korea for so many years to come. Let's keep supporting them and showing the world the incredible influence of our culture! Are you joining the ARMY in counting down the days until BTS reunites? Or perhaps planning a trip to Korea to celebrate? Share your reunion excitement with us! #BTSisComingBack #Koreatravel #BTSreunion #VisitKorea #ARMYwelcomesBTS

Fan Review CARATS (the official fandom of SEVENTEEN) are already starting to get on the hype globally

Already stars-in-the-making, new girl group NewJeans has been trending online because of their brand deal with global company Coca-Cola! Their new hit single "Zero" was released on Monday, April 3, and has garnered over 3.8 million views in just over 15 hours! Let's break down why this collaboration is a success! You can't go wrong partnering up with one of the biggest up-and-coming girl groups with one of the world's biggest brands singing, "코카콜라 맛있다 코카콜라 맛있다!" (Coca-Cola is delicious Coca-Cola is Delicious!) Add a bubbly beat and boom, you have a recipe for success! Coca-Cola has been one of the best companies in terms of marketing people's feelings while consuming its product. This music video is a prime example of what marketing genius Coca-Cola has become! The girls of NewJeans are singing about a boy (or perhaps wanting some Coke Zero? We're not sure, you be the judge!). But regardless, wanting more of "it" and spend more time with "it" throughout the song, until they finally have "it" and enjoy themselves at the beach. "See you looking at it, catch it. Here's your Cola." With amazing visuals straight out of a NewJeans music video, the Coca-Cola studio really did an amazing job of combing both the swag of NewJeans with their product throughout the music video. At times, it seemed like a long version of a Coca-Cola advertisement, especially when the girls were on the beach. The way they were holding their bottles/cans of Coke really did seem that way! Fans are already obsessed with the song and are putting it on repeat all week! So what did you think about the music video? Did it make you want to go out and buy more Coca-Cola Zero? Let us know your thoughts! #newjeans #NewJeans_Zero #NewJeansxCocaCola
