The phrase 'WHAT IS YOUR LOVE SONG?' has appeared on the exterior of buildings near Seongsu Station as well as in Times Square and various locations across New York. This campaign is linked to the promotion of BTS's upcoming regular fifth album, ‘ARIRANG’, highlighted by an installation of roses at an event held in Seoul's COEX. As attendees picked roses from the wall, the phrase and BTS logo behind them were revealed.
