BTS's 'ARIRANG' Album: A Mixed Bag

The latest album from BTS has sparked a lively debate among fans, with opinions ranging from enthusiasm to disappointment.

After a long wait, BTS dropped 'ARIRANG' on March 20, and fans promptly shared their thoughts in a poll. The results revealed a wide range of reactions, from detailed criticisms to glowing praise, demonstrating that fans are sharply divided over the album's merits.

A small but notable group of fans, accounting for 6% of the vote, expressed technical dissatisfaction with the album, citing issues with production, mixing, and vocal effects. Another 6% of fans reported having mixed feelings, although this group had a slight edge with four more votes.

A larger group of fans, making up 8% of the total, gave the album a lukewarm reception due to the lyrics, wishing for more Korean lyrics or improved English ones.

These fans specifically stated that they would appreciate 'ARIRANG' more if it featured more Korean lyrics or better English ones, highlighting the importance of language in their enjoyment of the music.

15% of voters found 'ARIRANG' to be merely okay, feeling that it failed to live up to the standards set by BTS's previous albums, such as 'Dark & Wild'. This perspective underscores the sense of unfulfilled expectations surrounding the album's release.

Some fans have drawn comparisons between 'ARIRANG' and 'Dark & Wild', suggesting that the new album marks a significant departure from BTS's earlier work. This shift has left some fans underwhelmed, given the group's strong track record and the intense anticipation leading up to 'ARIRANG's' release.

At the more critical end of the spectrum, 22% of voters expressed outright disappointment with 'ARIRANG', stating that it was not worth the wait and that they did not enjoy it at all.

In contrast, the largest group of fans, comprising 34% of the total, enthusiastically declared that 'ARIRANG' was worth the wait, loving every aspect of the album.
