BTS\u2019 latest album tracklist is finally out. One of the most anticipated releases of the year, \u2018ARIRANG\u2019, will be released in March 2026. However, the tracklist hasn\u2019t pleased everyone. A certain number of netizens have voiced strong disapproval of the production credits in the songs. Read more about who these social media users have taken issue with and why they are so against them.<\/p>\n

BTS\u2019 Arirang Tracklist Featuring Diplo and Ryan Tedder Has Divided Netizens<\/p>\n

BIGHIT MUSIC dropped the names of the songs on March 3, 2026, with no preamble. ARMY, the Korean group\u2019s fanclub was sent into a major frenzy over the songs. The full album has a whopping 14 numbers, all of which feature credits by at least one member. Notably, while there are no featured artists, \u2018ARIRANG\u2019 has prolific songwriters and producers across South Korea and the United States.<\/p>\n

Most fans reacted with excitement and enthusiasm about the unveiled tracklist. However, not everyone was happy with it. A few were disappointed with the \u2018Dynamite\u2019 group for working with dubious producers, namely Diplo and Ryan Tedder.<\/p>\n

Fans Upset That BTS\u2019 ARIRANG Has Dodgy Producers<\/p>\n

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) to make their displeasure known, netizens called out the band for working with problematic people. They spoke about how Diplo is allegedly a se*ual and physical abuser who has bragged about doing so. Many even called out the hypocrisy of ARMYs who were willing to overlook these allegations because it is a BTS album. Another called the producer \u201cdisgusting\u201d.<\/p>\n

Well done armys, a z!onist and an alleged s3x off3nder and an abvser is bragging about his involvement and he knows yall will never care and will give him the biggest h!ts of his career. https:\/\/t.co\/0ileeWCvoc<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/N826CfC2WL<\/a><\/p>\n

Apart from Diplo, Ryan Tedder of One Republic was also a controversial choice, according to more social media users. Calling him out for supposedly being a zionist, they said fans were not talking about this enough. Other users mentioned how the producer has supposedly been \u201cblocking\u201d netizens who have publicly denounced him.<\/p>\n
