The K-pop supergroup returned to the global stage with a dynamic and engaging showcase of their new album ‘Arirang' on a Netflix live event, broadcast live from Seoul landmark Gwanghwamun.
Arirang', the group's first full-group performance in three years, set a new record, making BTS the first K-pop group to host an exclusive live performance at the historic Gwanghwamun Square.
Local reports estimate that roughly 40,000 people gathered across central Seoul to watch K-pop band BTS reunite.
The South Korean band broke into American pop culture by hitting the talk shows, performing on “Saturday Night Live” and appearing at the White House.
The performance was filmed live in the South Korean capital on Saturday.
The K-pop superstar will have to limit movement during Saturday's global livestream from Seoul, which marks BTS' first full-group performance in nearly four years and a major test of Netflix's live ambitions.
