On February 3, Netflix and HYBE announced that "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" will be exclusively streamed live on Netflix at 8 p.m. on March 21. This marks the first time an artist will hold a solo performance at Gwanghwamun Square.

BTS's fifth full-length album, "ARIRANG," reflects on the group's origins and identity. Following the album release, BTS plans to embark on a large-scale world tour, performing 82 concerts in 34 regions across Asia, North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East.

Netflix emphasized that this live broadcast is its first-ever live event streamed from Korea to a global audience, highlighting the expansion of its live programming. The company expects this event to follow in the footsteps of its previous live event lineup, including "Skyscraper Live," "NFL Christmas Game Day," and "Paul vs Tyson." In the future, Netflix plans to offer a diverse lineup of live events to its members, including MLB, the FIFA Women's World Cup, and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Netflix will also release a feature-length documentary, "BTS: The Return," on March 27, which captures the album production process. Directed by Bao Nguyen and produced by This Machine, the documentary spotlights BTS's journey as they return with a new album after three years and nine months. It showcases the process of BTS members, who have gained global popularity since their 2013 debut, coming together in Los Angeles to create music.
