Netflix is venturing into the BTS realm with a long-awaited comeback of the K-pop supergroup in March. The group is releasing their first album in years, "Arirang," after a hiatus to fulfill their mandatory military service in Korea. On Monday, Netflix announced "BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang," a special live stream performance of the seven-member group, which will premiere on the platform on March 21. This live stream—the first global performance of the album, released on March 20—will be broadcast live from Gwanghwamun, a renowned Seoul landmark offering breathtaking views of the city's iconic Gyeongbokgung palace.
Following the live stream, Netflix will premiere "BTS: The Return," an "intimate documentary film chronicling the making of the band's new album." It will premiere a week after the live stream on March 27 on the streaming platform.
The seven-member K-pop supergroup is also gearing up for their first full-scale, all-group tour in years. The tour, spanning 2026 and 2027, will hit Asia, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Australia, making it one of the most extensive tours in the group's career.
The tour will commence with three nights in Goyang, South Korea, before heading to Tokyo for two nights. BTS is then set to embark on a journey across the U.S., with stops in Tampa and other cities throughout the country. The group is anticipated to make 79 stops in total.
After their supersized sold-out 2021 "Permission to Dance on Stage" engagements in Los Angeles, BTS is returning to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on September 1-2 and September 5-6. The tour will feature a 360-degree, in-the-round stage design, providing an immersive experience for the audience.
