As seven artists from South Korea, they felt it was fitting to choose a title that honors their roots.</p><p>“The keyword ‘Arirang’ came up. Honestly, the meaning is different for each person, because there are many ways you can interpret Arirang’s lyrics. I think it’s about sadness, longing, and love,&quot; he said at that time.</p><p>j-hope added that the title reflects both the group’s history and their longing to perform together again. “[Arirang] feels like our roots. From that way, Arirang was what tied it all together really well,” he said</p>
