The first concert of the superband BTS after their long hiatus will be streamed on Netflix next March 21, live and globally, the platform said Tuesday, Feb. 3, which will also release a documentary on the comeback of the most famous K-pop band.
For the first time in three years and nine months “the septet makes a long-awaited return to the stage to perform live worldwide on Netflix, included in all plans,” the platform announced on its news website Tudum.
BTS chose a historic stage to present ‘Arirang’.
The concert will be held one day after the expected release of BTS’ new album ‘Arirang’.
This at the emblematic Gwanghwamun Square, in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace of the South Korean capital.
The choice of a historic enclave for the group’s first concert as a full line-up is in line with the title of the new album, ‘Arirang’.
It is an allusion to South Korea’s most representative folk song, which is considered a symbol of national identity and unity.
The concert will mark the kickoff of the world tour

During the show, BTS will perform tracks from the new album, their first since ‘Proof’ (2022), according to Netflix.
While the concert will serve as a prelude to their world tour, the biggest in the history of K-pop.
This tour will kick off on April 9 in the South Korean city of Goyang and will include stops in Latin America and Spain, among other regions.
Netflix also announced the March 27 premiere of the documentary ‘BTS: THE RETURN’.
It will focus on the group’s comeback, which will address the creative process of the new album and the reunion of the seven members after completing their mandatory military service, a period that led to the pause in their joint activities.
