BTS, whose return painted Gwanghwamun Square in violet light—an epic homecoming

BTS—global superstars (RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook)—took over Gwanghwamun Square, the very heart of South Korea, perfectly. On the 21st, the group thrilled music fans worldwide with a huge free show, “BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG” (BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE｜ARIRANG), celebrating the release of its 5th studio album “ARIRANG.”

More than just a new album release, the performance is being hailed as a landmark stage that dissolves the boundary between Korea’s traditional values and global pop music. The overwhelming scale and unmistakable presence at the iconic venue of Gwanghwamun Square once again proved BTS’s solid standing in the global music market. Fans who packed the site and watched the live broadcast from around the world erupted with enthusiastic cheers for the group’s dazzling return.
