Korean superstars BTS have announced a brand new Japanese single "Lights".
"Lights" will arrive with a Japanese version of "Boy With Luv", and "IDOL".
According to a press release, ""Lights" conveys the message of hope that one can connect with the others through sounds and see each other’s lights whenever they close their eyes."
