The release is part of the 2024 FESTA, an annual festival hosted by BTS to celebrate its debut anniversary, which falls on June 13, with its fans.
The septet previously unveiled group songs "So 4 More" in 2014 and "Take Two" in 2023 to celebrate the anniversary.
This year's festival began Sunday and is to run through next Thursday as many fans await the return of band members currently serving in the military.
Programs include a free online event, "Bang Bang Con," featuring some of the group's iconic concerts, on Saturday and an offline event at the Seoul Sports Complex in southern Seoul, the festival's main venue.
Jin, the first BTS member to join the military, will be discharged Wednesday and meet BTS fans in person in Thursday's event.
In South Korea, all able-bodied men are required to serve between 18 and 21 months in the military.
