Netizens expressed their high anticipation for BTS's upcoming album, which will feature the group's return to hip hop sounds.

On March 28, one netizen created a post on an online community forum titled, "BTS's upcoming album, hip hop tracks". 

Here, the netizen wrote, "They said a lot of [hip hop] tracks will be included. My heart is becoming emotional. How long has it been since [they released] hip hop tracks? I like all their other songs, but I love BTS's own version of hip hop tracks. I think it's not just a single album". The netizen then included a screenshot of one article about BTS which read, "During a previous interview with BBC Radio 1, SUGA dropped hints [on their upcoming album] by stating that their album will include more hip hop tracks and that their fans will not have to wait very long". 

In response, some of the netizens commented:
