BTS released their Japanese studio album Face Yourself in 2018.
The album arrived on April 4, 2018, through Big Hit, Universal Music Japan, Def Jam Recordings, and Virgin Records. It is BTS’s third Japanese studio album and fifth studio album overall, placing it between Love Yourself: Her and Love Yourself: Tear in the group’s broader release chronology.
Face Yourself combines Japanese versions of songs from Wings and Love Yourself: Her with three original Japanese-language tracks: “Don’t Leave Me,” “Let Go,” and “Crystal Snow.” “Don’t Leave Me” also served as the opening theme for the Japanese television drama Signal.
Readers sometimes confuse the album’s release year with its later international editions or with the Korean albums released during the same period. The original Japanese release date was April 4, 2018, and the album became BTS’s first Japanese release to receive Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
