BTS ARIH Walmart is now part of the U.S. K-food conversation. ARIH, a new Western-Korean fusion food and beverage brand developed by Paldo and hy in collaboration with BTS, has launched in the United States through Walmart stores and Walmart.com. The brand was unveiled on April 13, 2026, and U.S. sales began on April 24, 2026, with HYH handling distribution in the American market.
BTS ARIH Walmart Launch: What ARIH Is
ARIH is a new global food and beverage brand connected to Korean food culture and developed with BTS participation. In Korean, the brand is also referred to as Ari, while the English name is presented as ARIH.
The available launch details say BTS members took part from the planning stage. Their opinions were reflected in the brand name, flavors, and package design. That does not tell us every detail of the development process, but it does show that ARIH is being introduced as a collaboration involving Paldo, hy, and BTS rather than as a simple product endorsement.
For U.S. shoppers, the most important detail is access. ARIH products are being sold exclusively at Walmart stores across the United States and on Walmart.com. That gives the brand a broad retail entry point from the beginning of its U.S. rollout.
The launch also fits into a wider push for K-food outside Korea. ARIH is being positioned as a global brand, with the United States named as the first major market in the available launch information. A Korea launch was also described as planned for the end of the following month after the U.S. debut.
What Products Are in the BTS ARIH Walmart Lineup?
The first ARIH lineup includes both noodles and beverages. The confirmed product categories are Modern Noodle, postbiotic energy drinks, and Dual Biotic Soda.
Modern Noodle comes from Paldo and is described as a stir-fried ramyeon line. The available information identifies it as a noodle product, but it does not provide a full item-by-item flavor list here. Because of that, the most accurate way to describe it is as ARIH’s stir-fried ramyeon category.
The beverage products come from hy. The confirmed drink categories are postbiotic energy drinks and Dual Biotic Soda. The available details do not include full nutrition facts, caffeine content, ingredient lists, or individual flavor names, so shoppers should check the product packaging or Walmart listings for those specifics.
There are slightly different product-count details in the available launch information. One account describes seven Modern Noodle varieties, seven postbiotic energy drinks, and seven Dual Biotic Soda products for the U.S. market. Another describes a total of 28 products, including ramen and beverages. Since a complete product list is not provided here, the safest summary is that ARIH is launching with a broad mix of noodle and drink products led by those three confirmed categories.
That range matters because ARIH is not being presented only as a ramen brand or only as a drink brand. It is entering Walmart as a food and beverage brand, giving shoppers more than one way to try the collaboration.
Why BTS ARIH Walmart Matters for K-Food Fans
For fans of BTS and Korean food, the appeal is straightforward. BTS helped shape a new Korean fusion brand, and that brand is now available through a major U.S. retailer. The products are not limited to a specialty channel in the launch details; they are tied directly to Walmart stores and Walmart.com.
That availability could make ARIH easier for many U.S. shoppers to discover. Korean ramyeon and Korean-style drinks already have audiences, but access can depend on where a person lives and which stores are nearby. A Walmart launch gives ARIH a clear mainstream retail path in the United States from day one.
It is also worth keeping expectations precise. The available information confirms the brand collaboration, the product categories, Walmart availability, the U.S. launch date, and the planned Korea launch timing. It does not confirm every flavor, price, store-by-store inventory status, or detailed nutrition profile. Anyone planning to buy ARIH should check local Walmart availability or the Walmart website for the most current product listings.
ARIH’s launch brings together several clear facts: Paldo and hy created a Western-Korean fusion food and beverage brand with BTS, the first lineup includes noodles and drinks, and U.S. sales began through Walmart stores and Walmart.com on April 24, 2026. For anyone curious about BTS-linked K-food, ARIH is one of the most notable new Walmart arrivals to watch.
