BTS V's 'Into the Sun' Featured in French President's G7 Summit Video

BTS V's song 'Into the Sun', which he participated in writing and composing, appeared in a G7 Summit video posted on the French President's official SNS. BTS's song played as background music during the scene where the Korean President enters the meeting hall.

'Into the Sun' Played During Korean President's Entrance

French President Emmanuel Macron posted a video related to the G7 Summit held in Evian, France, on the 16th (local time) to his official SNS. The video captures the leaders of G7 member states and invited nations appearing one after another, and BTS's 'Into the Sun' was used as background music during the segment where the Korean President enters.

This year's G7 Summit was held in Evian, France, from June 15 to 17. The official guide from the French President's office specifies that Korea participated as a partner country along with Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, and others. This means a song by Korea's representative pop group was placed alongside the official promotional video featuring the Korean leader.

The Reappearance of the Final Track from 'ARIRANG'

'Into the Sun' is a track included in BTS's studio album 'ARIRANG', which was released on March 20, 2026. The song is listed as a track on the 'ARIRANG' album on music release platforms.

BIGHIT MUSIC announced through a Weverse notice the correction of credits for some tracks in 'ARIRANG', mentioning track 14, 'Into the Sun'. It is known that V participated in the song's production and it was included in the album following the members' recommendations.

Immediately after its release, this song drew attention as the track that concludes the album. While it was not a song at the center of major promotion from the start like a title track, it was called upon again months later as the background music for an international summit video.

BTS Music Featured in Official SNS Video

When discussing the global influence of K-pop, chart rankings or concert scales are often mentioned first. In this case, 'Into the Sun' was used as the official video background music to create the atmosphere of the scene.

Of course, there is no need to immediately inflate this as a decisive moment for diplomatic achievements or national branding. However, it is clear that a song by BTS was featured on the French President's official SNS, coinciding with the scene of the Korean President's attendance at the G7. For fans, it remains a moment where a B-side track involving V has been rediscovered.
