BTS In Dubai Or Portugal? OT7 Turns Playful With Dumbstruck ARMYs At Incheon Airport - 'Action Packed' ARIRANG MV Coming?

BTS is possibly in Dubai to shoot a music video for their upcoming new album ARIRANG. I'm not saying this, ARMYs are. Giving their massive fandom a meltdown, the entire band of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook were spotted at the Incheon airport on Monday, to catch a late flight. After close calculations, fans were convinced the septet was flying to Dubai, United Arab Emirates to attend an "overseas schedule." However, that wasn't all which they guessed. Many claimed that BTS would be filming something for ARIRANG at the Dubai Autodrome, popular as a filming location for its car racing tracks. BTS is gearing up to make its big comeback with their brand new and fifth album ARIRANG followed by an extensive world tour spanning 2026-2027.

BTS leaves for overseas schedule

On February 2, BTS arrived at the Incheon airport. From OT7's group posing for the shutterbugs, to V aka Kim Taehyung and Jungkook playfully grabbing a reporter's camera to shoot themselves, to Jimin's soft blonde and Jin's odd-man-out airport look, the seven walking down the airport alley was everything ARMYs have been waiting for so many years. Jungkook reportedly said, "Good to see you. We’re heading out for an important shoot…"

MV at Dubai Autodrome?

However, when the names of Dubai and Autodrome surfaced, fans knew something action-packed was coming for them in ARIRANG. Many even posted their excitement on X (formerly Twitter). A fan wrote, "yall we're definitely getting bts song or mv with car racer concept. i am not joking." A second fan said, "So, BTS travelled to Dubai. Dubai has the best F1 circuit course track to film cinematic movements. BTS x Netflix announcement Live concert. Netflix has an arrangement with F1 and its drivers. Nam got his license. BTS x F1 soon? Arirang speed racing MV? Just thoughts"

BTS leaves ARMYs shocked

While co-flyers flooded social media with their rendezvous and bumping into BTS members, some even claimed apart from bying chocolates at the Dubai airport, the band did not have a long touch-down, and hopped on another connecting flight to Portugal. "Dubai was just a layover en route to Lisbon, Portugal. So probably not the autodrome," an ARMY contradicted.

Guesses about ARIRANG music video

A fan went to the degree of calculating how the particular video might have a time jump between modern and historic time, given how ARIRANG's core soul is to keep everything around Korean culture. "Streets saying BTS went to film car racing scene in dubai autodrome what if the MV is devided in two part modern and historical (the album has rooted in kr and modern kr vr) WHAT IF there's transitions in MV where they go riding horses to racing car(they're hinting abt horse too)" an X post read. A reply said, "Speechless. Riding horse in hanbok or Joseon Dynasty transition to modern race! Want to cry" Another one guessed, "So namjoon got his driving licence for thisssss oh god we're so blind man"

Suga's Instagram post hints at more possibilities

Though assumptions are plenty, some couldn't stop from drawing a parallel between their travel and Suga's social media return after four months where he supposedly posed outside a truck used in productions. Fans were quick to claim that even that was connected with the possible MV as the text on the truck translated to "filming."
