BTS Returns: A Global Comeback Event You Can’t Miss

Attention ARMY! BTS is officially back, and they’re doing it in spectacular fashion. BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG will stream live exclusively on Netflix on March 21, 2026, at 8 PM KST (4 AM PST / 7 AM EST), broadcasting from the historic Gwanghwamun in Seoul. This monumental event celebrates the release of their highly anticipated fifth studio album, ARIRANG, a deeply personal record exploring the band’s identity and roots.

For the first time since completing South Korea’s mandatory military service, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook reunite on the global stage. Netflix has partnered with HYBE to deliver this unprecedented worldwide comeback, giving fans an intimate front-row experience of BTS’ legendary performances and the dynamic energy that has made them global icons.

The live show promises an unforgettable experience, but BTS isn’t stopping there. On March 27, 2026, Netflix will premiere BTS: THE RETURN, a feature-length documentary directed by Bao Nguyen that chronicles the making of ARIRANG and BTS’ reunion. The film offers a behind-the-scenes look at the group’s creative journey, exploring how seven members, reunited in Los Angeles, navigate life, friendship, and artistry after years apart. Through laughter, doubt, and rediscovery, BTS creates new music that reflects who they are now, delivering a landmark album that honors their past while moving boldly forward.

BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG also marks a historic moment for Netflix, becoming the first-ever live event from Korea to stream globally. This follows Netflix’s growing lineup of live events, including WWE, NFL, boxing, and more, and sets the stage for upcoming broadcasts like MLB games, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and The Actor Awards.
