ARIRANG "Since 1896"

"They promised the melody would return. They just didn't know it would take a century and another life."

In 1896, under the name BANG 7, seven young musicians captured the soul of a fading Joseon with their haunting, revolutionary sound. Bound by music and devotion to their fans, they vowed to release one final album an unspoken promise sealed with the bittersweet folk song "Arirang." But the sea swallowed them first. A catastrophic shipwreck erased their dreams, their songs, and their future.

Now, in the 21st century, someone is completing their dreams of crossing the language barriers and show korean music to the world.

BTS - seven global superstars unaware of the past lives woven into their bones. They don't remember the ink-stained hanboks, the humid night of the promise, or the cold waves that tore them apart. But something lingers: an unfinished melody haunting their dreams, a yearning they can't name.

As echoes of 1896 begin to surface through mysterious journals, lost sheet music, and a symbol only they once knew, the line between destiny and coincidence blurs. Can they keep their century-old promise before history repeats itself? And what happens when seven souls fall in love with the same fandom again?

ARIRANG "since 1896" is a heart-wrenching fan fiction of reincarnation, forgotten vows, and music that defies time itself.
