Story highlights

Amid their ongoing tour, BTS dropped the music video of Merry Go Round. The song is part of their latest released album, Arirang. 

South Korean boy band BTS are busy touring the world for their ongoing tour after they released their album Arirang in March this year. Amid this, the septet gave a major treat to their fans by dropping a black-and-white music video for their track Merry Go Round from their latest album. This music video reinterprets the ‘merry-go-round’ that appeared in the 2017 Spring Day music video.

Netizens' reaction to Merry Go Round music video

The music video of Merry Go Round was produced through a special collaboration with a global audio and music streaming platform, Spotify, and can only be viewed on that platform. The music video slowly unfolds as BTS members who were living their own lives pass through each other's time and come together in one place.
