BTS presented a setlist that encompassed songs from the new album ‘Arirang’ and the group’s representative hits.

According to their agency, Big Hit Music, all 15 scheduled performances sold out. The immense demand led to the addition of one extra show in three different cities, which also quickly sold out. During these concerts, BTS performed a setlist featuring songs from their new album "Arirang" alongside their most popular hits, with fans enthusiastically singing along in Korean.

The success of the "Arirang" tour was further highlighted by Billboard, which ranked it as the No. 1 "Top Tour" for April. The music publication reported that BTS generated $76.2 million (approximately 114.8 billion won) in revenue from just eight performances in April, selling 417,000 tickets during that period.
