HYBE teamed up with Netflix to livestream their comeback concert from the historic Gwanghwamun in Seoul, celebrating the release of their highly anticipated new album, ARIRANG.

The free concert will stream live exclusively on Netflix on March 21, 2026, at 8 PM KST (4 AM PST / 7 AM EST).

BTS – composed of members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook – reunite on the global stage together in public.

Their fifth studio album, ARIRANG, releases the day before on March 20, and is “a deeply reflective body of work that explores their identity and roots.”

After the album release and this comeback concert, the band will embark on a massive World Tour across 34 regions and 82 shows (and counting) across Asia, North and Latin America, the Middle East, and beyond.

Hopefully, Netflix will understand the power of BTS when it comes to the livestream concert.

During their free concert for Yet To Come in Busan, which was livestreamed on Weverse, the feed would be cut off from the site due to it being overloaded. There were several fans ironically (and hilariously) sharing links to the free concert.

Netflix will also be releasing a documentary of the group: BTS: THE RETURN.

From acclaimed director Bao Nguyen (The Stringer, The Greatest Night in Pop) and renowned producers, This Machine (Martha, Karol G) and HYBE, the documentary will showcase the making of their newest comeback album, giving viewers unprecedented access to the group, following BTS as they reunite to create new music that reflect their journey that transformed seven Korean members into global icons. The documentary will premiere on Netflix on March 27.

Since their debut in 2013, BTS have become global icons. After completing their mandatory military service, the septet traveled to Los Angeles to make music together.

With most of the members now entering their 30s and having built a name for themselves, BTS begin to question how to begin again, how to honor the past without being bound by it, and how to move forward together. According to the press release, “BTS: THE RETURN is a story only BTS can tell: a portrait of resilience, brotherhood, and reinvention.”
