BTS is making a comeback, and it's going to be huge. The K-pop sensation will perform a free concert at Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square on March 21, which will be livestreamed exclusively on Netflix to over 190 countries.
The concert, titled "BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG," will feature the group's new album, also called "ARIRANG," which will be released on March 20. This album marks their return after a four-year hiatus, during which the members completed their mandatory military service.
But that's not all - a documentary called "BTS: THE RETURN" will premiere on Netflix on March 27, showcasing the making of the "ARIRANG" album and the group's journey.
The group will also embark on the "ARIRANG World Tour" starting in April, spanning 34 cities with 79 shows across Asia, North and Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East.
BTS's economic impact is massive, generating over $3.8 billion for South Korea annually before their military service. Their label HYBE's shares rose 2.5% following the announcement
