BTS x Netflix: Everything to Know About the ‘ARIRANG’ Comeback and Documentary

The K-Pop icons are set to take over the world once again. The celebration begins with the release of their fifth studio album, ARIRANG, on March 20, 2026. Just 24 hours later, the group will host a global live-streamed concert that is expected to break viewership records.

The Global Live Event: March 21

On March 21, 2026, Netflix will broadcast a live performance from Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul. Choosing this symbolic landmark underscores the group’s cultural significance to South Korea. Fans worldwide can tune in to see the debut performances of tracks from the new album in a massive, high-production spectacle.

‘BTS: The Return’ Documentary: March 27

A week after the live show, Netflix will release an original documentary titled BTS: The Return. While the concert focuses on the spectacle, the film promises a “behind-the-scenes” look at the group’s vulnerability.

• The Struggle: The film captures the members confronting “quieter questions” about how to begin again after years apart.
• The Process: Viewers will see the creative journey behind ARIRANG, from the first recording sessions to the final choreography rehearsals.
• The Bond: Expect moments of doubt, laughter, and rediscovery as the seven members navigate their new chapter as a veteran group.
