BTS Unveils Global Livestream Concert and Documentary Ahead of Major Comeback

It's hard to overlook the excitement across the world as BTS formally enters a new era. The K-pop supergroup, making its first full-group comeback in years, has announced a huge comeback that includes a global livestream concert and a feature-length documentary that will be available on Netflix. With a new album, a long world tour, and unprecedented global streaming plans, BTS is reminding fans exactly why their comeback is one of the most anticipated moments in music.

A Triumphant Return: BTS' Arirang Album and Netflix Livestream Concert

With a number of significant announcements that have driven ARMY, the band's worldwide fan base, into a frenzy, BTS is formally returning as a whole after a nearly four-year break caused by all seven members' necessary military duty. The South Korean quintet, which consists of RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, had earlier announced that their much anticipated fifth studio album, 'Arirang,' will be available on 20th March, 2026.

BTS and Netflix have teamed up to host 'BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang,' a live performance event that will be aired live from Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on 21st March, to commemorate the historic release. Fans worldwide will be able to watch this performance exclusively on Netflix, giving them a chance to see BTS play live for the first time since their break. Beginning at 8 p.m. KST (early morning in the U.S. and afternoon in Europe), the concert will include new songs from the latest album as well as possibly some well-known hits from the band's illustrious past. 

As one of the first significant international live music events to be streamed on the platform, the livestream is significant for both BTS and Netflix. This broadcast will be an unmatched opportunity for many fans who might not be able to physically attend the Arirang global tour dates to experience the thrill of BTS' comeback.

Behind the Scenes: 'BTS: The Return Documentary' on Netflix

BTS' return experience will be further expanded by Netflix with a feature-length documentary titled 'BTS: The Return,' which will debut on 27th March, just days after the livestream event. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Bao Nguyen, the documentary offers an intimate look at the band's reunion as they worked on 'Arirang' and rediscovered their creative spark following time apart. The movie is anticipated to explore BTS' transformation from up-and-coming musicians to international celebrities, as well as the members' individual and group development throughout their break.

Viewers will witness how they got together in Los Angeles to record 'Arirang,' face the difficulties of going back into the spotlight, and consider how they have changed as people and musicians. 'BTS: The Return' seeks to strengthen the bond between BTS and its global fan base by documenting these moments and capturing the emotional essence of the group's return.

By preserving these moments and encapsulating the sentimental spirit of the group's comeback, 'BTS: The Return' aims to deepen the connection between BTS and its worldwide fan base. 
This documentary will not only appeal to long-time supporters of BTS but also to those curious about the dynamics of one of the most influential musical acts in the world. Backstage footage, candid interviews, and glimpses into the band's creative process are expected to make the film a heartfelt tribute to their resilience and unity.

Global Anticipation and the 'Arirang World Tour'

The buzz over BTS' Netflix appearances is only getting started. BTS will start their 'Arirang World Tour' (2026–2027) after the concert and documentary are released. The tour, which will take place in dozens of cities in Asia, North and Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, is expected to be the band's most ambitious yet, offering their full-group concerts to fans all over the world.
