With fans set to gather for their comeback show, RM reminded ARMYs to follow the rules and regulations on the day of the concert.

“I would like to say thank you so much to the police officers who are working hard for safety, as well as to the fire department, the government and local governments. Thank you!” RM added. 

Meanwhile, Jin thanked their beloved fans who have been supporting them in their journey.

“There's only one day left until our comeback. Many people helped and supported us, so [we] decided to hold a comeback show in Gwanghwamun,” Jin said in Korean as translated by Weverse in English. 

“It's been a long time since I've been able to greet you all together in a meaningful place, and I want to say thank you so much to those who helped and everyone who understood,” Jin added.

Ending his message, Jin promised a great show and reminded ARMYs to prioritize their safety.

“We'll do our best to show great performances! If you're watching on the spot, please pay attention to your safety!”

BTS is set to release "Arirang" on March 20. It is their first group album since "Proof" in 2022.
