The K-pop supergroup returned to the global stage with a dynamic and engaging showcase of their new album ‘Arirang' on a Netflix live event, broadcast live from Seoul landmark Gwanghwamun.

After a four-year break, K-pop supergroup BTS returned Saturday with a massive, free comeback concert in Seoul, where thousands of police locked down a central boulevard for the Netflix-exclusive spectacle that drew tens of thousands of fans.

Netflix Inc. has turned the heart of Seoul into a global stage as K-pop megastars BTS returned to the stage with a livestream comeback show that was expected to draw millions of viewers worldwide as part of a new drive by the US entertainment powerhouse to show live events that can “pull people together”.

The K-pop superstar will have to limit movement during Saturday’s global livestream from Seoul, which marks BTS’ first full-group performance in nearly four years and a major test of Netflix’s live ambitions.
