About the BTS comeback live concert 2026

The septet—RM, Jin, SUGA, J-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook—will conduct a comeback performance during the event, which is scheduled to take place at the ancient Gwanghwamun.

 

This performance will be directed by British director Hamish Hamilton, who has directed the Super Bowl halftime performances since 2010 and many other live events, including the Academy Awards.

 

Following a three-year break during which the members completed their necessary military enlistment in South Korea and worked on solo projects, including albums and performances, fans from all over the world have been anxiously anticipating the group's return this year. 

More about the BTS comeback documentary on Netflix

Netflix has stated that the documentary, which will be directed by Bao Nguyen, who has previously produced the documentaries The Stringer: The Man Who Took The Photo (2025) and The Greatest Night In Pop (2024), will be a portrait of resiliency, brotherhood, and reinvention as the group works on their new music in Los Angeles, explores their creative processes, and advances their musical journey. 

 

BTS revealed last month that they will embark on a massive world tour that will start in April and take them to 34 cities, including Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Los Angeles, Paris, and London, for more than 80 performances. Excitement about their reappearance and music was further fueled by the fact that several performances sold out within minutes of ticket sales.

Who are the BTS boys?

The seven-member South Korean boy band 'BTS', also called the Bangtan Boys, was founded in 2010 and made their debut under BIGHIT MUSIC in 2013. The group is known for its self-produced music, elaborate choreography, and lyrics that address personal and social topics such as mental health, self-love, and cultural constraints. ARMY (Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth) is the name of their huge worldwide fan base.
