Day 4,700 Since Debut — ARIRANG North America Tour Confirmed at 31 Shows / 12 Cities; 'SWIM' Reaches New Airplay Peak

April 26, 2026 marks exactly 4,700 days since BTS's June 13, 2013 debut — coinciding with Tampa Night 2 of the ARIRANG World Tour. Coverage published on April 26 by Korea Herald, Korea Times, STARNEWS Korea, and IBTimes AU confirms the full North American tour scope: 31 concerts across 12 cities including El Paso, Mexico City, New York, and additional dates added in Tampa, Stanford (CA), and Las Vegas due to overwhelming demand. Economic impact for the Tampa region is projected at $800M–$900M. Simultaneously, Soompi and Billboard report 'SWIM' climbs to a new peak of No. 13 on Billboard Pop Radio Airplay — BTS's highest-ever position on that survey and the highest by any Korean act in history. ARIRANG becomes the first album by a Korean artist to spend four consecutive weeks in the top 3 of the Billboard 200.
