BTS Set Sail in Second Teaser For ‘ARIRANG’ Track ‘Swim’: Watch

The long wait is almost over. On Wednesday morning (March 18) BTS threw more fuel on the hype fire for their eagerly anticipated comeback album, ARIRANG, with the second official teaser for the track “Swim.”

The 25-second video finds members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook setting sail on the high seas on a massive schooner, the S.S. Arirang, naturally, as the moody, synth-spiked track from the album plays in the background. With the bright sun illuminating the sails, the brief clip ends with a glimpse of the K-pop superstar septet — dressed in all navy blue suits with two rows of shiny buttons on their jackets — standing in a line near the bow of the ship, positioned just above the vessel’s name.

The brief snippet of the song comes after the first “Swim” teaser dropped a day earlier. In that even shorter video, a woman runs through an empty naval museum before stopping at a display model of a three-masted ship, ending, like the second teaser, with the song’s title in white cursive letters floating above a shot of ocean waves.

BTS’ 10th studio album is due out on Friday (March 20) and will mark the band’s first release in three years following a break to allow the members to complete their compulsory South Korean military service. The next day, BTS will perform at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul in a show titled BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang, which will air on Netflix. Next week, the group will also do a two-night stand on The Tonight Show, sitting for an interview on March 25 and performing a song, then returning the next day to perform another song from the LP.
