Netflix will livestream BTS’ first concert after hiatus

Netflix will stream a BTS live concert next month, showcasing the phenomenally popular K-pop group’s first new songs since their hiatus and kicking off their upcoming ARIRANG world tour. If that wasn’t enough to get fans excited already, there’s a behind-the-scenes documentary they can look forward to as well.

BTS RETURN LIVE | ARIRANG will premiere on March 21 at 7 a.m. ET / 4 a.m. PT on Netflix, live from Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul. The concert will see all seven members of BTS perform a selection of songs from their extensive catalog, as well as several from their upcoming album. ARIRANG. BTS’s fifth studio album, ARIRANG, is scheduled for March 20 – the day before the concert. As such, the Netflix stream will be the first live performance of these songs by BTS.

Netflix also announced the new documentary BTS: THE RETURNwhich will be presented a week after the live concert. Although this is far from BTS’ first concert film or documentary, BTS: THE RETURN stands out by following the K-pop group as they come together to record ARIRANG after a long hiatus of almost four years.

BTS went on hiatus in December 2022, with members signing up to complete their mandatory service in the South Korean military. The last member to be removed was SUGA in June 2025, allowing BTS to resume activities together. While some BTS members released solo projects during the group’s hiatus, ARIRANG marks their highly anticipated return as a full band.

BTS RETURN LIVE | ARIRANG And BTS: THE RETURN will premiere March 21 and 27 on Netflix.
