The wait is nearly over for ARMY worldwide. BTS is officially back, and Netflix is putting the whole world on notice with a live global event to mark the occasion.
‘BTS The Comeback Live | ARIRANG’ will stream live exclusively on Netflix on March 21, 2026, at 8 PM KST (7 AM ET / 4 AM PT), broadcasting from Seoul’s historic Gwanghwamun Square, the main gate of the iconic Gyeongbokgung Palace. The concert marks the first time all seven members, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook, have reunited on stage following the completion of their mandatory military service. Netflix has confirmed the event will be its first-ever globally livestreamed concert broadcast from Korea.
The live show arrives one day after the group drops ‘ARIRANG’ on March 20 via BigHit Music, their fifth studio album and first full-band release in over three years. The 14-track record, which takes its name from a traditional Korean folk song inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list, features lead single ‘SWIM’ and production credits from the likes of Diplo, Kevin Parker, and Mike WiLL Made-It.
The concert is directed by Hamish Hamilton, and a companion documentary, ‘BTS: The Return’, is set to follow on Netflix on March 27.
