BTS comeback show and documentary to be on Netflix
February 3, 2026 09:38 pm
K-Pop superband BTS have announced a Netflix stream of their first performance since their comeback.
The concert will be broadcast on 21 March live from Gwanghwamun Square, one of Seoul’s most symbolic landmarks.
The event will celebrate the release of their highly anticipated fifth studio album, ARIRANG, which is set for release on 20 March.
Netflix said the performance would be followed by “an intimate documentary film” called BTS: The Return on 27 March, offering fans “a rare behind-the-scenes look” at the group’s highly-anticipated return after the members completed their military service.
Netflix’s partnership with the group’s record label, Hybe, has come on the heels of the announcement of BTS’s new album and a world tour, which will span 34 cities across 82 dates.
It will see members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook reunite on the global stage for the first time.
The Grammy-nominated group have not played outside the US and South Korea since 2019.
The members released solo albums and had individual tours and performances after they went on hiatus in 2022.
They returned to group activities last June after all members had completed the military service that is mandatory in South Korea.
“With an unprecedented live global stream, a documentary film, and a sweeping world tour spanning multiple continents, BTS’ comeback emerges as a defining cultural moment,” Netflix said.
Their world tour will hit London for two nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 6 and 7 July.
As millions of fans across the globe - collectively known as ARMY - await their comeback, Netflix said the documentary would show BTS confronting “quieter questions” such as “how to begin again” and “how to move forward together”.
“Through moments of doubt, laughter, and rediscovery, they create new music that reflects who they are now - culminating in what will become a landmark album of its time,” Netflix added.
