BTS will stage a long-awaited comeback concert at a Seoul landmark
BTS's free concert at Gwanghwamun Square celebrates their Korean roots with 260,000 attendees expected and a global Netflix livestream to 190 countries.
- On Saturday, March 21, BTS will perform a free comeback concert at Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square, with 260,000 attendees expected and Netflix livestreaming the hour-long show to 190 countries.
- Following a nearly four-year hiatus for mandatory military service, the group releases its fifth studio album, 'Arirang,' which explores themes of longing and separation central to Korean identity.
- To manage the massive crowd, authorities raised the terror alert to 'caution' and deployed about 6,700 police officers and 8,200 security staff across Seoul. These measures reflect safety lessons from the 2022 Halloween crush.
- The 'BTS The City: Arirang Seoul' project features landmark light-ups, exhibitions, and pop-up retail installations through mid-April, strengthening artist-audience connections and boosting local tourism across the city.
- An 82-show world tour across 34 cities will commence April 9, with the 'BTS The City: Arirang Seoul' project expanding to other major cities globally later this year.
