BTS marks comeback with drone light show over New York's Brooklyn Bridge

SEOUL, March 19 (Yonhap) -- K-pop supergroup BTS lit up the night sky over New York with a drone light show Wednesday (U.S. time) to mark its long-awaited comeback and the release of its fifth studio album, "Arirang."

According to music industry sources, drones formed images, including "BTS" and the logo of its upcoming album "Arirang," the album's campaign phrase, "What is your love song?" and the number "7" for the group's members, in a 15-minute display over the Brooklyn Bridge.

BTS is set to release the new album, its first as a full group in three years and nine months, on Friday and stage a free outdoor concert at Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square the next day to mark the release.

The group is scheduled to travel to the United States next week to perform at "Spotify x BTS: Swimside" in New York on Monday, followed by appearances on NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on March 25 and 26.
