BTS will hold a free concert at Gwanghwamun Plaza at 8 p.m. on March 21 to celebrate the release of their fifth studio album, “ARIRANG.” Approximately 15,000 fans are expected to attend in person, with Netflix broadcasting the event live to 190 countries.

General ticket sales will begin at 8 p.m. on February 23 through NOL Ticket, and anyone can purchase tickets without any restrictions. Detailed information about the ticket sale will be released at 12 p.m. on February 20 via Weverse and NOL Ticket. A separate event has also been prepared for ARMY fans, offering tickets through a lottery to members of Weverse who purchased “ARIRANG” during the designated period.

The concert stage is designed in a T-shape with an extended runway. It is divided into a standing area and designated seating areas, all positioned to offer a panoramic view of Gwanghwamun. On the day of the concert, the venue is expected to accommodate around 15,000 to 20,000 people in total, including those in the standing and seated sections.

This is the first time Netflix has broadcast a single artist’s concert live to 190 countries, thanks to this collaboration. ARMY members worldwide will be able to watch BTS’s Comeback stage in real time via the internet. Big Hit Music, the agency behind BTS, stated, “Since this is a free concert, it will provide citizens with an opportunity to naturally experience music and culture in their daily lives.”

BTS will resume full-group activities for the first time in 3 years and 9 months since releasing their compilation album “Proof” in June 2022. “ARIRANG” is set to be officially released on March 20 and will feature 14 tracks. From the release date of the new album until April 12, various offline events titled “BTS The City ARIRANG Seoul” will take place across Seoul. These events offer fans the chance to directly experience culture and music themed around “ARIRANG.”

On March 27, the documentary film “BTS: The Return,” which covers the production process of BTS’s new album, will be released on Netflix. Fans will be able to watch behind-the-scenes footage of the full-group album’s creation through this film.
