The wait is over. BTS returns this March with a global live performance from Seoul and a raw documentary following their journey back to the stage
The long-awaited second chapter of BTS has finally arrived. In a move that has sent the global Army into a predictable frenzy, Netflix and Hybe have announced a monumental partnership to broadcast the group’s return to the world stage. Titled BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang, the event will stream exclusively on Netflix on March 21 at 7pm (PHT)—a date that is surely already being circled in purple ink across the globe.
Broadcast from the historic Gwanghwamun in Seoul, the performance serves as the grand unveiling for the band’s fifth studio album, Arirang. For the first time since the members completed their mandatory military service, RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook will stand together as a full septet. The album is a reflective exploration of the group’s identity and roots, serving as the foundation for a massive world tour set to span 82 shows across 34 regions through 2027.
