BTS - ARIRANG Sound Wave POB

ARIRANG – Soundwave POB is an official preorder benefit (POB) merchandise item released through Soundwave in connection with BTS’s 2026 album era ARIRANG. Distributed as a retailer exclusive bonus alongside album purchases, the item features all seven BTS members: RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook, and was issued in member specific versions as part of the promotional rollout for the comeback period. The release is part of a wider set of ARIRANG era preorder benefits across multiple retail platforms.

The POB is designed as a collectible photocard style item, typically featuring selfie format images or exclusive concept photos not included in standard album packaging. Its design follows the ARIRANG era visual identity, emphasizing themed styling, coordinated concepts, and retailer specific exclusivity. As a Soundwave exclusive, it was distributed only through qualifying album purchases during the preorder period, making it a limited availability collectible within the broader BTS merchandise lineup.

The ARIRANG – Soundwave POB received strong attention from collectors due to its limited distribution and member version structure. ARMY trading communities quickly engaged in buying, selling, and exchange activity centered on bias versions and complete sets. The item became one of several highly sought after retailer exclusives from the ARIRANG era, reflecting the continued demand for BTS preorder benefit photocards and the competitive nature of K pop collectible markets.
