Netflix Releases Trailer for BTS Comeback Concert Special

As if anticipation could bulid up any higher than it already is, a trailer for the Netflix concert special "BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang" has arrived.

Starting with a flashback to the day BTS announced they would be taking a break from group activities for each member to complete their mandatory military service and focus on solo projects.

The K-pop supergroup, comprised of members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, can be heard saying in Korean “So emotional,” “I really miss them” and “Let’s get back out there!”, followed by footage of hordes of their lightstick-wielding fans.

“We promised our fans that we’d be back,” RM says next — and they’re coming back in a huge way.

Streaming live from Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, South Korea, on March 21, "BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang" will broadcast the first full BTS group concert since 2022. 

Following the arrival of their comeback album Arirang on March 20, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook will hit the stage together for the blockbuster show the next night.

In the trailer — soundtracked by a sweeping, orchestral version of the BTS song “Mikrokosmos” from 2019’s Map of the Soul: Persona — each member gets a solo showcase, with two individual shots and their names displayed in bold, white typeface.

“Witness the homecoming,” reads a message across the screen.

The live concert special will be directed by Hamish Hamilton — who most recently helmed the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show and the 2026 Grammys — and executive produced by HYBE, BIGHIT MUSIC, Guy Carrington, Garrett English and Kevin Hermanson, with production company Done + Dusted. 

Fans can tune in live to Netflix at 8 p.m. KST on Saturday, March 21, which is an early 7 a.m. ET and 4 a.m. PT for American ARMY.

The March 21 comeback concert precedes the BTS World Tour Arirang, which kicks off April 9 in Goyang, South Korea, with three dates, and wraps next year in Manila, Philippines. U.S. fans will have a chance to see some of the international shows before BTS arrive Stateside on April 25, with a live airing of their April 11 concert in Goyang being broadcast in movie theaters, as well as the April 18 concert in Tokyo. Watch the full trailer below.
