BTS WORLD Original Soundtrack

Released in June 2019 alongside the BTS WORLD mobile game, this soundtrack casts the player as the group's manager and gives each song to a different sub-unit. Only four tracks carry BTS vocals, and their Korean centers on fear, self-belief, and the feeling that meeting someone was fate. The vocabulary here covers everyday verbs learners use constantly — 찾다, 믿다, 기다리다, 괜찮다 — plus the emotional nouns 운명, 꿈, and 미래 that hold the songs together.
