The songs “2.0” and “Hooligan” are from BTS’s 14-track album Arirang, which was released on March 20. After a four-year break, it is their much awaited comeback. Since then, the record has been incredibly popular among fans all around the world. Niana and AC are two examples of those who have embraced its music with great enthusiasm through their dance covers.
