188. 8:34-That's good. That's good.
189. 8:35Next time, I want to see your skills
190. 8:37and have some of the good food.
191. 8:39Uh, this is the new era of BTS.
192. 8:42Okay. This is...
193. 8:43[ Cheers and applause ]
194. 8:45It starts with your first
195. 8:48full-length album since 2022.
196. 8:52"Arirang."
197. 8:55-"Arirang." -"Arirang."
198. 8:56-"Arirang." -"Arirang."
199. 8:57-"Arirang." -Yeah.
200. 8:59-"Arirang." "Arirang." -Yeah.
201. 9:01-What is "Arirang"?
202. 9:04-It's a -- It's a Korean traditional song.
203. 9:06So every Korean just knows it.
204. 9:08Like, they just get to know it when they grow up.
205. 9:11-Oh, really?
206. 9:12-Yeah, it's just by mouth to mouth.
207. 9:14They just get to know it.
208. 9:15-And how did you all decide
209. 9:16that this would be the title of the album?
210. 9:18-So it's -- I think it's the song that represents,
211. 9:22uh, the Koreans the most.
212. 9:24So it includes, like, lots of emotions in it.
213. 9:27It could be joy. It could be sorrow, longings.
214. 9:30Um, sadness. Like, whatever. -Yeah.
215. 9:33-Resistance. So...
216. 9:35-There's a lot of emotions on here.
217. 9:37-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
218. 9:39So we just hope that, um,
219. 9:40our new songs could be also universal, like the "Arirang,"
220. 9:44which is the Korean traditional song.
221. 9:46And...
222. 9:47[ Cheers and applause ]
223. 9:49You just...
224. 9:51Thank you.
225. 9:53We just figured out that,
226. 9:55you know, our roots is in Korea.
227. 9:57You know, like, all in the military.
228. 10:00After all, it's like, we have to,
229. 10:01you know, come back to where we started from.
230. 10:04-Yeah, of course.
231. 10:06Can't forget your roots.
232. 10:08Never forget your roots.
233. 10:10You actually lived together as roommates in Los Angeles
234. 10:13while recording this album,
235. 10:15just like you did when you first started music together.
236. 10:17What was the best part about living together
237. 10:19while making this album?
238. 10:21-Ohh.
239. 10:24-Okay. -Eat together?
240. 10:25-Yeah. Eat together. -Just eating together.
241. 10:27Because we actually lived together for like 6, 7 years.
242. 10:31But it...
243. 10:32-Audience: Six, seven!
244. 10:34-Six, seven!
245. 10:36-I know! Six, seven!
246. 10:37-You can't say that. You can't say that.
247. 10:40-What on earth is this?
248. 10:43-I don't know. -What is this thing?
249. 10:45-Six, seven is a...
250. 10:48-Six, seven? What is this?
251. 10:50-I don't know how to desc--
252. 10:54Don't worry about -- Don't worry about six, seven.
253. 10:56Worry about --
254. 10:57-[ Laughter ] -What?
255. 10:59-Worr-- I don't know how to describe it.
256. 11:03I know what it is.
257. 11:05I know what it is, but it doesn't make --
258. 11:07It doesn't have a definition.
259. 11:08There's no explanation for six, seven.
260. 11:11And I think you won't have to worry about it
261. 11:13in a couple of months.
262. 11:14I think it's good.
263. 11:16Be honest -- out of all of you,
264. 11:18who is the messiest roommate?
265. 11:20-I think Jung Kook.
266. 11:26-I can't agree.
267. 11:35-So I told you we spent two months together.
268. 11:37And he had the biggest room.
269. 11:40Yeah, we all had our rooms, and he had the biggest room,
270. 11:42and he had like two luggages,
271. 11:45but it's opened up on the floor for two months.
272. 11:49-He never unpacked? -Yeah.
273. 11:51-So when we went to his room, we always have to, like --
274. 11:54Luggage is here. And like... "Jung Kook..."
