BTS Drops ‘Hooligan’ Video Ahead of ARIRANG Tour Kickoff

The darker, reference‑packed clip pushes the comeback’s momentum into the tour launch.

Overview

  • BTS released the “Hooligan” music video Tuesday, marking the third visual from their ARIRANG album.
  • The clip builds a stark, dystopian world with masked choreography, a parking‑garage opener that nods to “Not Today,” and a swordswoman cameo.
  • The release lands two days before the ARIRANG World Tour opens at Goyang Stadium in South Korea on Thursday.
  • Co-written by RM, j-hope, and SUGA, the track gained early lift through dance challenges that positioned it like a co-lead single.
  • ARIRANG holds No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and “Hooligan” appears on the Hot 100, signaling strong demand as shows begin.
