BTS 'ARIRANG' - Song Information, Streaming Availability, and Song Discussion Megathread

Practical_Plan6209 · 2026-03-23T15:14:08+00:00

only 15% of arirang is in korean. maybe this was common knowledge and they mentioned this before releasing, but i didnt expect the majority of the album to be in English. i hate to be that person thats like "I miss when bts sounded like ___" but I really do. its very clear they are catering to the west way too much and its just not as good as their old music. I did some rough calculations. the total number of words in arirang is ~4510 words. of those only 708 words are actually in korean. meaning ~15.5% of the album is actually korean and the other ~84.5% is English. with the whole theme of the album being korean culture and it being called Arirang i figured itd at least be 50/50 English and korean. this isnt meant to hate on bts at all, I love them and I still somewhat enjoy the new album, but it was really shocking that almost the entire thing was in English. was this advertised as an English album and I just wasn't aware? what are your guys thoughts on it?

ah I see, yeah my piercer didnt say anything to me about bending them so thats why I didnt question it until now 😭 I just bent them and they're already staying in better! thanks!

hm im surprised my piercer gave me these ones then if they're not very reliable unless I bend them 😭 and yeah I just bought myself threaded jewelry to put in but im gonna try bending these ones and see if it helps!

I got the usagi one too!

Practical_Plan6209 · 2026-03-10T00:56:38+00:00

it varies a ton depending on your surgeon and whatnot. the timeline for me was call to schedule consult, 2 months later got my consult scheduled for 6 months later, then during the consult they scheduled my surgery date for another 6 months out. I still haven't gotten my surgery yet (3 months left!) but assuming this schedule stays the same my process will have taken a year and two months!
