Creative Weekend à la BTS ARIRANG
A Quick Guide for ARMY
With ARIRANG taking over New York for concert weekend, the BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Stamp Rally is a fun way to explore the city and enjoy some arting time. As a BTS ARMY living in New York, I’m especially excited to have all these activities happening right here in my home state. The rally features ARIRANG themed stops across NYC and New Jersey, giving fans a chance to enjoy local spots with a BTS twist. I’m taking my sketchbook with me as I visit each mission location, drawing and recording this once in a lifetime moment.

Support BTS on Spotify
If you like having music on during art sessions like me or need inspiration while creating, there are plenty of BTS playlists to keep you company. They’re perfect for sketching, painting, or just getting into a creative flow.
I hope this info helps as a starting point while you plan for the stamp rally. Are you excited as I am? I can’t wait to see BTS perform at MetLife for the first time and sing ARIRANG alongside ARMY. I keep wondering what surprise song they’ll choose. I’m manifesting Best of Me, Pied Piper, Tomorrow, and 21st Century Girl. Let me know yours in the comments.
PS: Any artists here planning to art journal during the events?
