South Korea and Netflix are a dream team. For several years now, the streaming service has regularly released films and series from the Asian country with great success. The most successful Netflix series of all time? “Squid Game” from Korea. And the most successful film? “KPop Demon Hunters”—strictly speaking, a U.S. production that revolves around Korean pop music. Now, fans of the genre can look forward to a special double feature with BTS on Netflix.
Netflix to Stream BTS Concert Live
Netflix is collaborating with BTS management Hybe for the event and will broadcast the live stream of a new BTS concert. The boy band is South Korea’s biggest musical export in recent years, with their passionate fan base known as the “Army.”
Due to mandatory military service, BTS took a group hiatus in recent years while several members pursued successful solo projects. The full group’s return is announced for 2026, after all seven members have completed their military service. In line with this, Netflix will globally stream a performance titled “BTS the Comeback Live | Arirang” on March 21, 2026. In Germany, it will start at 12 p.m. on the streaming service.
BTS will perform at Gwanghwamun Square in the heart of Seoul—one of the country’s most iconic locations. The concert is designed as a global livestream event and is expected to reach millions both on-site and worldwide.
A special highlight for fans is the choice of concert format: With “Arirang,” BTS delves not only musically but also conceptually into Korean cultural history. The title refers to one of the country’s best-known folk songs, symbolizing identity, unity, and emotion—themes that have always shaped BTS. The combination of traditional symbolism, global live stream, and iconic locations like Gwanghwamun also highlights how strongly K-Pop is staged internationally as South Korea’s cultural flagship.
BTS Documentary Also Announced on Netflix
Just a week later, on March 27, the documentary “BTS: The Return” will be released on Netflix. Fans will get insights into how RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, V, Jimin, and Jung Kook work together on new music in Los Angeles after their hiatus. The album “Arirang” will be released on March 20 and is the first joint project since “Proof” in 2022.
The comeback is accompanied by a large-scale world tour with more than 80 planned shows in over 30 cities worldwide. In Germany, BTS will perform on July 11 and 12 in Munich. The enormous demand is already evident: Many dates are considered sold out shortly after sales began.
