Global K-pop group BTS has officially announced their long-awaited return, marking their first full-group activities after completing mandatory military service. Netflix will stream the comeback events worldwide through a major partnership with HYBE.
Netflix confirmed a live concert titled “BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG”, scheduled for March 21, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. KST. The performance will take place at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, with Gyeongbokgung Palace as the backdrop.
This concert will be BTS’ first full-group live performance in nearly four years. It also marks Netflix’s first global live broadcast from South Korea. The group will perform classic hits and debut songs from their upcoming fifth studio album, ARIRANG, which releases on March 20, 2026, one day before the show.
The livestream will be available exclusively on Netflix and included with all subscription plans, reaching viewers in more than 190 countries.
Netflix will also release a feature-length documentary titled “BTS: THE RETURN” on March 27, 2026. Directed by Bao Nguyen, the film offers behind-the-scenes access to BTS as they reunite, record their new album, and prepare for their comeback. The documentary follows the journey of all seven members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—as they begin a new chapter together.
The announcement has generated massive excitement among ARMY, BTS’ global fanbase. Teasers and promotional content are already trending across social media platforms.
This Netflix collaboration signals the beginning of BTS’s 2026 activities, with expectations high for a world tour later in the year. More details will be shared through Netflix and official BTS channels in the coming weeks.
