Group BTS member RM recently shared an update. On January 18, RM posted two photos on his Instagram story. The photos showed RM visiting a restaurant. Notably, the plate in front of RM featured the logo of BTS's new album, drawing attention.

BigHit Music, BTS's agency, announced the release of BTS's new album 'ARIRANG' on January 16 and revealed the album logo. On the same day, BTS disclosed through a Weverse live broadcast that Jungkook participated in designing the logo. The revealed logo features three red circles arranged to symbolize the initial consonants 'ᄋ, ᄅ, ᄅ' of 'Arirang.'

However, some netizens claimed on online platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and other social media that the logo is evidence of a romantic relationship between Jungkook and Winter. They argued that the three circles in the logo resemble the drawing of 'three puppies,' which is suspected to be a couple tattoo of the two. These claims include the assertion that Jungkook secretly expressed his affection through the album design.

As these claims spread, most fans reacted by calling them "absurd speculation." Fans criticized the act of linking a public creative work based on a traditional Korean folk song to unverified personal rumors. They emphasized respect for BTS's music-related creations and urged caution against unfounded assumptions about their private lives.

BTS is scheduled to make a comeback on March 20 with their fifth full-length album 'Arirang (ARIRANG).' RM explained the album title during a Weverse live broadcast, saying, "I thought it would be good to include something that symbolizes Korea," which led to the keyword Arirang. RM recently deleted almost all posts on social media, leaving only three, sparking various interpretations among fans.

BTS's new album 'Arirang' is themed around a traditional Korean folk song, interpreted as emphasizing the group's identity and cultural roots. BTS has a global fanbase, and their music possesses a unique charm that encompasses both Korean tradition and modernity.

BTS influences not only music but also fashion and culture in various fields. They are expected to contribute to promoting Korean traditional culture worldwide through their new album. RM's remarks further clarify this direction.

As BTS's comeback approaches, fans' attention is focused, and anticipation is growing regarding how their music and message will unfold. BTS has made innovative attempts with every new album release, and their creativity and originality are expected to shine in this album as well.

Fans express their excitement for BTS's new album and are paying close attention to how the group reinterprets Korean traditional culture in a modern way. BTS plans to continue communicating with fans through various musical experiments.
