This marks BTS\u2019s first album since their hiatus, which was due to the members’ mandatory military service. <\/p>\n The title Arirang (\uc544\ub9ac\ub791) refers to Korea\u2019s most famous folk song, often considered the unofficial national anthem, symbolizing cultural identity. The word has no literal translation, as it is either a proper noun or an abstract expression, often interpreted as \u201cmy beloved\u201d or \u201cbeautiful pass.\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, the music video was shot with the collaboration of Ukrainian cinematographer Nikita Kuzmenko. <\/p>\n This is not Tanu Mui\u00f1o\u2019s first collaboration with international artists.<\/p>\n Her portfolio includes<\/a> music videos for stars such as Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, Cardi B, Harry Styles, The Weeknd, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, Foals, and many others. <\/p>\n In 2025, Mui\u00f1o was named<\/a> the Best Director of the Year at the Hollywood Music Video Awards for her video for Lady Gaga’s “Disease,” which also won the award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.<\/p>\n
