ARIRANG: Europe’s Purple Summer takes readers across the European chapter of the BTS ARIRANG World Tour 2026, exploring the cities, stadiums, and passionate ARMY communities that welcomed BTS. From the excitement of concert days to the vibrant atmosphere surrounding each destination, this volume captures the spirit of a tour that brought together fans from different nations, cultures, and generations.
