The wait is finally over. After nearly four years, the kings of K-pop are returning to the stage as a full group. To celebrate the release of their fifth studio album, ARIRANG, BTS is hosting a historic, free-to-attend live performance in the heart of Seoul.

Whether you’re heading to Gwanghwamun Square or tuning in from your couch, here is your ultimate guide to the event.

1. Event Schedule & Location

The concert is set against the stunning backdrop of Korea’s most iconic landmark.

  • Date & Time: Saturday, March 21, 2026, at 8:00 PM (KST)

  • Location: Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul (175 Sejong-daero, Jongno-gu).

  • The Concept: The performance is titled "ARIRANG," reflecting the group's Korean roots and identity. Rumor has it the members will start inside Gyeongbokgung Palace and walk through the main gate onto the square—a literal "Path of a King."

2. How to Attend in Person

While the concert is free, it is highly regulated for safety.

  • Reserved Zones: Entry to the main viewing areas (Standing A/C and Seated B) was managed via a lottery on Weverse and NOL World. If you have a confirmed reservation, make sure to bring your physical ID.

  • Public Viewing: For those without tickets, the Seoul Metropolitan Government is setting up large LED screens at Seoul Plaza (in front of City Hall) to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of fans expected to descend on downtown Seoul.

  • Travel Tip: Local authorities expect over 260,000 people. Expect road closures and potential subway bypasses at Gwanghwamun (Line 5) and Gyeongbokgung (Line 3) stations. Arrive early!

Can't make it to Korea? No problem. This event is being broadcast to over 190 countries.

  • Platform: Netflix (Exclusive Global Livestream)

  • Price: Included with your standard Netflix subscription.

  • Special Feature: The concert is directed by Hamish Hamilton (famous for Super Bowl Halftime shows), promising a cinematic experience like no other.
