BTS just gave ARMYs another reason to lose sleep (in the best way possible). During a celebratory livestream on April 1, 2026, RM casually dropped a bombshell — ARIRANG isn’t done yet. A hidden 15th track is coming, and it’s produced by none other than SUGA.
What Is the BTS ARIRANG Hidden Track?
ARIRANG, BTS’s latest studio album, surprised everyone when eagle-eyed fans noticed Apple Music’s track listing hinted at a 15th song. The members kept it under wraps until RM finally spilled during a livestream celebrating their back-to-back Billboard No. 1s — SWIM topped the Hot 100, and ARIRANG hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with over 500K in physical sales.

The Story Behind the Song
This isn’t just any bonus track — it comes with a touching backstory. SUGA reportedly fought for nearly two weeks to get this song included on the album. The track is described as an emotional, sad piece that was left out of the main release, reportedly leaving SUGA visibly upset. The rest of the members confirmed he was “crying about it not being released” — which honestly just makes us want to hear it even more.
When RM revealed the track during the livestream, Jimin hilariously pretended to grab his collar, shocked he gave it away. That moment alone broke the internet.
What Else Did BTS Announce?
Beyond the hidden track, BTS revealed that a new music video for their song 2.0 was dropping that very night, reportedly inspired by Park Chan Wook’s cult classic Oldboy. The group also teased fans attending the Goyang concert on April 9 could be the first in the world to hear the hidden track live.
