As BTS prepares for a massive comeback album and tour, the group revealed the the first trailer of Netflix’s upcoming livestream event in celebration of their return.
Members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, V, Jimin, and Jung Kook feature in the teaser for BTS the Comeback Live | Arirang, which will be broadcast from Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, on March 21. The performance will showcase the first live debut of songs from their upcoming fifth album, Arirang, which is set to drop the day before.
The video begins with fan reactions to the news that BTS would be taking a hiatus as all seven members of the K-Pop group fulfilled their mandatory military duties in South Korea. (Jin was the first to enlist in 2022 with Suga being the last member to be discharged back in July.) As shots of crowds chanting “BTS” roll, Jung Kook says, “So emotional. I really miss them.” In another clip, RM declares, “Seven together, we can do anything.”
Earlier this week, BTS unveiled the 14-song track list for their album, which features “Swim” as the title track and “Into the Sun” to close out the record. The LP was produced and written by some of the biggest names in music, including the likes of Mike WiLL Made-It, Flume, Diplo, El Guincho, JPEGMAFIA, and Ryan Tedder.
Netflix is also scheduled to premiere BTS: The Return, a documentary directed by Bao Nguyen exploring the making of the band’s new album that will drop on March 27 on the streaming platform. BTS will mark their comeback with a world tour, kicking off in Goyang, South Korea, on April 9, and arriving in Tampa, Florida, in late April before concluding the U.S. leg of their trek in September in California.
