A remix that lets you experience BTS's "SWIM" in a different way has been released.
BTS released the remix album KEEP SWIMMING at 1 p.m. on the 27th. This record includes the title track "SWIM" from the regular 5th album "Arirang" (ARIRANG), which was released on the 20th, and an instrumental track, as well as seven remixes arranged based on each of the seven members' musical directions, for a total of 9 tracks.
RM completed a calmer, more relaxed version of "SWIM" by blending the original with the chill hip hop genre. Jin infused strong energy with an alternative rock version that combines Brit-rock and punk rock. Suga added depth to the song with melodic techno that features three-dimensional club sounds.
J-Hope presented an Afrobeat version that emphasizes an exotic groove centered on guitar and piano lines with a Latin sensibility. Jimin's slow jam R&B version added soulful guitar, smooth keyboard sounds, and bouncy drums to bring out both sensuality and emotion.
V raised the sophistication with an electronic remix that blends intense bass and altered textures. Jungkook amplified the original's uniquely comforting sensibility with acoustic lofi guitar and a warm vocal.
The documentary film BTS: THE RETURN will be released on Netflix at 4 p.m. on the 27th. The documentary captures the worries they experienced while working on music and the process of completing "the current BTS" as they release new music for the first time in about 3 years and 9 months.
Meanwhile, BTS announced awards news at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026 held in Los Angeles, U.S., on the 27th. J-Hope won the trophy in the Favorite TikTok Dance category with his solo single "MONA LISA." He also won in the Favorite K-pop Collab category with "Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel)," making him a two-time winner. The Disney+ original series "Is this right?!" season 2, starring Jimin and Jungkook, was selected as the winner in the Favorite On Screen category. The work depicts the two's unpredictable friendship trip to Switzerland and Vietnam.
