BTS Likely to Skip Two Fan-Favorite Songs on ARIRANG World Tour
BTS is coming back with a new album and world tour after a long break.
They have a lot of excited fans, but they probably won't sing two of their favorite songs, Home and Love Maze.
This is because the person who helped make those songs did something very bad.
The group's company decided not to use his songs anymore.
The new album and tour are going to be really big, with millions of people already buying tickets and the album.
It's going to be one of the biggest music events ever, even though some fans might be sad about not hearing these two songs.
BTS is set to release their fifth studio album, ARIRANG, on March 20, 2026, and start their world tour on April 9, 2026.
Fans speculate that BTS will not perform Home and Love Maze during the ARIRANG World Tour due to a controversy involving composer Bobby Jung.
Bobby Jung was sentenced to one year in prison for illegally filming a woman without her consent in 2022.
HYBE, BTS's label, has distanced itself from Jung's work, removing his songs from past releases and likely excluding them from live performances.
The ARIRANG album has already surpassed 4 million pre-orders, and the world tour has sold out shows in 41 cities across North America, Europe, and the UK.
