BTS confirms the hidden ARIRANG track
BTS revealed on April 1, 2026, that ARIRANG, their latest album, will include a hidden track released with the Deluxe LP version on April 3, 2026. The news came during a livestream at HYBE, where the members celebrated ARIRANG reaching #1 on the Billboard 200 and the main single, SWIM, hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their fans (also known as ARMY) had already suspected there was an additional song because the earlier track listing on Apple Music suggested the album might have had 15 songs. However, the 15th track was later removed, and BTS remained silent about this hidden song until now.
RM hints at a possible live performance
During the livestream, RM said the hidden track would arrive with the deluxe album version and added that people going to the Goyang concert next week might get to hear it there. In addition, the comment surprised the other members and created a funny moment between them. It also gave fans a strong hint that this track could debut with a live performance very soon, right as BTS begins their tour in Goyang on April 9, 2026.

“There’s a hidden track in the deluxe LP coming out on the 3rd (of April),” RM explained to the viewers and BTS members. He later revealed, “For the people coming to the Goyang concert next week, you might get to hear it.”
SUGA appears closely linked to the song
The members also suggested the hidden song is closely tied to SUGA, as he is said to have produced the track. The group expressed that he spent about two weeks discussing it and felt strongly about its release, but that was later not featured on the main album. As fans wait for this hidden gem, BTS also shared a new music video for 2.0 on April 1, 2026. This continues the massive promotion campaign from BTS and their latest successful comeback era with ARIRANG.
