BigHit Music announced Tuesday that a limited-edition picture disc vinyl of ARIRANG - BTS's fifth studio album, released March 20 - will drop on June 12, one day before the group's 13th debut anniversary. The release is titled ARIRANG (613 Limited Edition Picture Disc Vinyl), and it includes two bonus tracks not available on the original album: "Voice Message: Love Song" and "NORMAL (Korean Ver.)."

The full tracklist is 16 tracks. The original 14-track album runs in sequence - "Body to Body," "Hooligan," "Aliens," "FYA," "2.0," "No. 29," "SWIM," "Merry Go Round," "NORMAL," "Like Animals," "they don't know 'bout us," "One More Night," "Please," "Into the Sun" - followed by the two bonus additions.

"Voice Message: Love Song" is a voicemail-style track built around the album's central question - "What is your love song?" - with all seven members contributing recorded answers. BigHit described it as expanding on the emotional core of ARIRANG through unfiltered conversation rather than produced performance. The Korea Times noted that for a group operating under the sustained pressure of global celebrity, the bonus tracks appear designed to offer "a more vulnerable, intimate conversation" with fans. "NORMAL (Korean Ver.)" is a Korean-language version of the album track "NORMAL," which appeared in English on the original release.

The physical contents: a 12-inch double-sided picture disc, a printed PVC outer sleeve, a Preview Reel, a Polaroid Card Set (8 cards), and a Polaroid Card Envelope. Product code: BHE0862.

Pre-orders are open now through the official BTS US store at shop.bts-official.us and through global retailers including Weverse Shop. The vinyl ships June 12 - the same day as the first Busan ARIRANG World Tour concert and the official release of the "Come Over" lyric video, both part of the 2026 BTS FESTA schedule.

The vinyl format is a deliberate choice on BigHit's part. Streaming remains the primary consumption format for ARIRANG - "SWIM" entered the Hot 100 and the album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 in March - but the 613 edition is positioned as a collectible anniversary object rather than a chart play. The two bonus tracks will not be released separately on streaming platforms at launch, which means the vinyl is the only way to hear them on the anniversary date itself.

June 12 is shaping up as the densest single day of the FESTA calendar: the Busan concert opens, "Come Over" drops officially, and now the vinyl ships. The 13th anniversary is June 13.
