BTS’ highly-anticipated comeback performance is coming to Netflix.
On Monday (Feb. 2), Netflix announced that BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG will stream live on March 21 at 8 p.m. KST and 7 a.m. EST.
The live event will take place at the historic Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, South Korea and feature RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook performing their first comeback performance from their new album ARIRANG.
As part of the same announcement, Netflix revealed a second exclusive release, BTS: THE RETURN, a feature-length documentary film debuting March 27.
Directed by Bao Nguyen and produced by This Machine and HYBE, BTS: THE RETURN follows the K-pop icons as they reunite after completing South Korea's mandatory military service to create ARIRANG. The film documents their return to a shared creative space, their reflections on fame and time apart, and the process of making what the film frames as a landmark album.
Last month, Live Nation announced that all 41 North American, European, and UK stadium dates on the ARIRANG World Tour sold out with nearly 2.4 million tickets.
The tour will begin on April 9 2026 at South Korea’s Goyang Stadium. From there, the ARIRANG tour will continue through Japan, North America, Europe, and the UK.
Plans for an 80-plus show global tour are underway, per Live Nation, with shows in Latin America, Asia, and Oceania scheduled in the fall through early 2027.
The tour, featuring a 360-degree in-the-round stage, marks BTS's first headline performances together since the 2021 to 2022 'Permission To Dance On Stage' tour.
BTS’ new album, Arirang, arrives on March 20.
