BTS Returns with Their First Performance in 3 Years — Streaming Live on Netflix
The global K-pop group BTS is finally returning to the stage. After almost three years away from performing together, the seven members will reunite for a special live show that will stream worldwide on Netflix.
Fans around the world have been waiting for this moment. The group’s comeback performance will take place on March 21 in Seoul, South Korea. It will be broadcast live on Netflix, allowing viewers from many countries to watch the event at the same time.
BTS reunites for a special performance
During the live show, the members — RM, Jin, SUGA, J‑Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook — will perform together as a full group again. The performance will be held at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, a famous public space located in front of the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace.
This will be the first time in several years that all seven members perform on stage together. The event is expected to attract huge global attention from their loyal fan base, known as ARMY.
During the show, BTS will perform songs from their upcoming fifth studio album, ARIRANG, along with some other music. Fans are especially excited because this will be the first live performance of songs from the new album.
New album releasing before the performance
The group’s fifth studio album, ARIRANG, will be released on March 20 — just one day before the live concert. This means fans will hear the songs for the first time and then watch the band perform them live the very next day.
The album includes several tracks, such as:
-
“Body to Body”
-
“Hooligan”
-
“Aliens”
-
“FYA”
-
“2.0.”
-
“No. 29”
-
“SWIM” (Lead Single)
-
“Merry Go Round”
-
“NORMAL”
-
“Like Animals”
-
“they don’t know ’bout us”
-
“One More Night”
-
“Please”
-
“Into the Sun”
The lead single from the album is “SWIM,” which many fans believe will be one of the biggest songs of the comeback.
A new world tour after the comeback show
After the live event on Netflix, BTS will start the ARIRANG World Tour. The tour will travel to 34 regions around the world and include a total of 82 shows.
This tour will mark the group’s major return to global touring after several years. BTS concerts are known for their large production, strong performances, and passionate audiences.
Fans across Asia, Europe, North America, and other regions are expected to attend the shows.
Why BTS took a break
BTS paused their group activities because of South Korea’s mandatory military service rules. In South Korea, most male citizens must serve in the military for about 18 months.
In December 2022, the members of BTS began fulfilling this requirement. Because the members enlisted at different times, the group could not perform together during that period.
While some members were serving, others released solo music projects and worked on personal activities.
The members completed their military service at different times:
-
Jin and J-Hope finished their service in 2024.
-
RM, V, Jimin, and Jung Kook completed their service in early June 2025.
-
SUGA was the final member to be discharged on June 21, 2025.
With all members now finished with their service, the group is ready to return to music and performances together.
A new BTS documentary
Fans will also get a deeper look at the group through a new documentary film titled BTS: THE RETURN.
The film is directed by Bao Nguyen and produced by the music company HYBE. The documentary will be released on Netflix on March 27, just a few days after the comeback performance.
The movie follows BTS as they reunite and create their new album, ARIRANG. It shows behind-the-scenes moments of the group working together again after spending time apart.
Viewers will see how the members return to the studio, share ideas, and reconnect as artists and friends.
Inside the story of their return
The documentary also explores how the members changed during their time apart. After completing military service and focusing on individual projects, the group meets again to make music together.
The film shows their journey as they reflect on their past success and think about the future of the group.
Fans will see personal conversations, creative challenges, and emotional moments as BTS works on their new music.
The documentary aims to give audiences a closer and more personal look at the artists behind the global fame.
A global phenomenon
Since their debut in 2013, BTS has become one of the most successful music groups in the world. Their music, performances, and social messages have attracted millions of fans across the globe.
The group has broken numerous records in music, touring, and streaming. Their fan community, known as ARMY, is famous for its strong organization and global influence.
Beyond music, BTS and their fans have also supported charitable causes and social campaigns.
A new chapter for BTS
The upcoming comeback performance and album mark an important new chapter for the group.
After years of solo work, military service, and personal growth, the seven members are coming together again to create music as a team.
With a new album, a global tour, and a documentary on the way, BTS is preparing for a major return to the international stage.
Fans around the world will finally see the group perform together again when BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG streams live on Netflix on March 21.
