BTS, Lotte Cinema team up exclusively for HYBE Cine Fest 2026, heating up 60 countries worldwide

A new theatergoing culture evolves into singalongs, captivating global fandoms

'HYBE Cine Fest 2026', which will bring the large-scale concert performances of artists under the global entertainment lifestyle platform 'HYBE' to the big screen, will be held exclusively at 'Lotte Cinema'.

Lotte Cultureworks officially announced on the 13th that it will host the festival exclusively at its theaters in South Korea from the 24th through the 31st. The project is a major global event taking place simultaneously at more than 1,100 theaters in about 60 countries worldwide.

The most anticipated program is live viewing of boy band 'BTS'' 'ARIRANG' world tour. BTS is currently touring South America, including Peru and Chile. The group's concerts in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on the 25th and São Paulo, Brazil, on the 31st will be broadcast live on large screens. The screenings are designed to deliver the region's electric atmosphere to fans in South Korea despite the barriers of time and distance.

Three concert films from leading global K-pop groups will also receive their first screenings. 'SEVENTEEN''s Incheon concert, 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN INCHEON', 'TOMORROW X TOGETHER''s Seoul concert, 'ACT : TOMORROW', and 'ENHYPEN''s Seoul concert, 'BLOOD SAGA', will come to audiences with spectacular visuals and powerful sound.

Every film in the festival will be presented in a 'singalong' format, allowing audiences to freely sing along. Beyond simply watching the footage, the festival will feature a 'HYBE Cheering Party', where fans can chant concert cheers along with music videos and performance videos from 13 groups, including BTS, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN and 'LE SSERAFIM'. The event is expected to become a celebration that strengthens the bonds among the artists' fandoms.

The in-person experience will also extend beyond the screenings. Lotte Cinema World Tower in Seoul will feature special interactive spaces for fans, including a 'message wall' where they can leave messages of support for the artists and a large-scale 'photo zone'. The strategy is to provide an immersive fandom experience from the moment fans enter the theater until they leave the auditorium.
