BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) has released a remix album featuring a fresh interpretation of their new album title track, ‘SWIM’.
The ‘KEEP SWIMMING’ remix album was released on March 27th at 1 PM (KST). This album contains a total of 9 tracks, including the title track ‘SWIM’ from their 5th full-length album ‘ARIRANG’, released on March 20th, an instrumental track, and 7 remixes arranged based on each of the seven members’ musical orientations.
RM incorporated a chill hip-hop genre into the original song, creating a softer and more comfortable ‘SWIM’. Jin infused strong energy with an alternative rock sound that combines Brit-rock and punk rock. Suga added depth to the song with a melodic techno sound, highlighted by立体的なclub sounds.
J-Hope presented an Afrobeat version that highlights an exotic groove centered on Latin-inspired guitar and piano melodies. Jimin’s slow jam R&B version simultaneously captures sensuality and emotion with the addition of soulful guitar, soft keyboard sounds, and bouncy drums.
V heightened the sophisticated feel with an electronic remix that blends intense bass and distorted textures. Jungkook amplified the original song’s unique comforting vibe with acoustic lo-fi guitar and a warm vocal tone.
The documentary film ‘BTS: THE RETURN’ will be released on Netflix at 4 PM on March 27th. This documentary captures the concerns the members experienced while working on music for their new album after approximately 3 years and 9 months, and the process of completing ‘the BTS of today’.
Meanwhile, BTS received awards at the ‘2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards’ held in Los Angeles, USA, on March 27th. J-Hope won the ‘Favorite TikTok Dance’ trophy for his solo single ‘MONA LISA’.
Furthermore, they won two awards by winning in the ‘Favorite K-pop Collab’ category with ‘Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel)’. Season 2 of the Disney+ original series ‘Is This Real?!’, starring Jimin and Jungkook, was selected as the winner in the ‘Favorite On Screen’ category. The work depicts their unpredictable friendship journey to Switzerland and Vietnam.
