According to the statement made on behalf of the K-Pop band BTS, a new English single will be released on August 24.
The seven-member South Korean boy band stated during a broadcast on Korean broadcasting app V Live:
“We have prepared a new single for ARMY, set for August 21. We are preparing an album for the second half of this year but decided to first release a single because we wanted to reach our fans as soon as possible. Due to COVID-19, people around the world have been going through tough times and we wanted to share some positive energy with our fans.”
The well-known K-Pop supergroup, the best-selling artist in South Korean history, added:
“We also needed a breakthrough during these unforeseen times, so we worked on this new song. This is a new challenge for us as well. When we first heard and recorded the song, we were energized and our spirits were lifted up. We can’t wait to share this song with you all and enjoy it together.”
They also announced that the title of the single is ‘Dynamite’ and a limited edition line of vinyl and cassettes featuring single is out.
As might be remembered, BTS had released their fourth Korean language album ‘Map of the Soul:7’ in February.
Here is the Tweet that the title and the release date were announced through.
