BTS held its first full-group concert since completing mandatory military service at Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square on March 21, 2026. The one-hour show followed the release of its fifth studio album 'Arirang' and drew tens of thousands of fans, streamed live on Netflix worldwide. Members shared candid emotions about their hiatus and return.
BTS's fifth studio album 'Arirang', released March 20, topped Melon's Top 100 with lead track 'Swim' and sold over 4 million copies on day one. As the group prepares for their first full-group concert since military service at Gwanghwamun Square on March 21—announced last month with elaborate procession and production details—leader RM will limit choreography due to an ankle ligament injury from rehearsals. The free one-hour show admits 22,000 ticket holders but expects 260,000 in the area, with live Netflix streaming and bolstered security.
