Boy band BTS lit up the night sky over New York with a drone light show on Wednesday to mark its long-awaited comeback and the release of its fifth full-length album, “Arirang.”

According to music industry sources, drones formed words and images, including “BTS” and the logo of its upcoming album “Arirang,” the album's campaign phrase, “What is your love song?” and the number “7” for the group's members, in a 15-minute display over the Brooklyn Bridge.

BTS is set to release the new album, its first as a group in three years and nine months, on Friday and perform at central Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square the next day.

The group is scheduled to travel to the United States next week to perform at “Spotify x BTS: Swimside” in New York on Monday, followed by appearances on NBC's “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” (2014–) next Wednesday and March 26.
