K-pop superstars BTS are set to release a special vinyl edition of their latest album, 'Arirang,' on June 12, just one day before the group's 13th anniversary. The limited edition release is generating significant buzz among fans worldwide.

According to their agency, BigHit Music, the vinyl will contain all 14 tracks from the original 'Arirang' album. Additionally, it will include two exclusive bonus tracks: 'Voice Message: Love Song' and the Korean version of 'Normal.' This brings the total tracklist to 16 songs, offering fans a comprehensive collection.

The demand for the special vinyl has been exceptionally high. Pre-orders, which opened on Tuesday morning, saw allocations sell out within an hour across Korean, Japanese, U.S., and global sales platforms. This rapid sell-out underscores BTS's enduring global popularity and the strong anticipation for new releases.

The release coincides with BTS's ongoing comeback activities following the completion of mandatory military service by all seven members. The group is currently embarking on their 'Arirang' world tour, with scheduled performances in Singapore later this year.
