K-pop group BTS performs new music in first show since group's four-year hiatus

Following the release of their album 'ARIRANG,' BTS performed a free concert in Seoul on Saturday, March 21, 2026, which is considered an unofficial anthem in both South and North Korea.
The group returned after a four-year pause during which all members completed South Korea's mandatory military service requiring 18 to 21 months under conscription.
Roughly 4 million copies of the album sold in its first day, and the free concert drew crowds of up to 250,000, including more than 20,000 ticketholders, according to The Associated Press.
Documenting their comeback journey, Netflix will premiere a documentary film, "BTS: THE RETURN," on March 27, after streaming the Seoul performance live.
BTS will launch their largest world tour in April, featuring 79 shows across more than 34 regions, with the schedule stretching into 2027 and more shows expected.
