Most artists wait until long past their heyday to release best-of collections, but then again, BTS aren’t like most artists.

Most of the songs—their biggest smashes to date, re-recorded in Japanese—will sound familiar to the BTS ARMY, but there are some lesser-heard gems, such as the moody ballad “Film out”, a collaboration between Jungkook and Iyori Shimizu for the Japanese TV thriller Signal: Long-Term Unsolved Case Investigation Team.
