Global music phenomenon BTS has unveiled comprehensive plans for their monumental return to the music scene, marking their first collective activities since completing mandatory military service. The groundbreaking announcement includes a Netflix live stream event, an intimate documentary film, and an extensive world tour spanning 34 cities across 82 dates.
The comeback initiative launches with the release of their fifth studio album ‘ARIRANG’ on March 20th, followed by a historic live-streamed concert from Seoul’s iconic Gwanghwamun Square on March 21st. This performance will represent the septet’s first public appearance as a complete unit since their hiatus began in 2022.
Netflix, in partnership with Hybe Corporation, will broadcast the landmark event globally while simultaneously preparing ‘BTS: The Return’ documentary scheduled for March 27th release. The film promises unprecedented access to the group’s journey through military service completion and their creative process in developing new music that reflects their artistic evolution.
The world tour, their first global circuit since 2019, will include two nights at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 6th and 7th. This marks a significant moment for the Grammy-nominated ensemble, who haven’t performed outside the United States and South Korea in over five years.
Netflix representatives characterized the multifaceted comeback as “a defining cultural moment” that transcends musical performance, offering fans insight into the group’s personal and artistic transformation during their period of mandatory service.
