BTS to Hold Free Gwanghwamun Comeback Live ‘ARIRANG’

Global attention is once again turning toward BTS as the group prepares to stage its first official comeback performance in the heart of Seoul. On February 9, BTS announced details for ‘BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG,’ a large-scale outdoor event set to take place at Gwanghwamun Square on February 21 at 8 p.m. KST.

How to Attend the Gwanghwamun Live Event

Tickets will be distributed through two main channels: general free admission and a Weverse global raffle for ARMY members.

General free tickets will be available starting February 23 at 8 p.m. KST through NOL Ticket. The event is open to the public, with no special qualifications required. Full details on ticketing procedures will be released on February 20 at noon KST via both Weverse and NOL Ticket platforms.

In addition, BTS is hosting a Weverse-exclusive global raffle event for official fan club members. Eligible participants include Weverse Membership holders who purchase BTS’s fifth full-length album during the designated entry period. Winners will be selected through a random draw, offering fans around the world another chance to experience the historic night in person.

A Global First for Netflix Live Streaming

‘BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG’ will also be live-streamed exclusively on Netflix across more than 190 countries and regions. This marks the first time Netflix has live-streamed a concert by a single artist, underscoring BTS’s unmatched global influence and the scale of the collaboration.

The choice of Gwanghwamun Square is symbolic. Located at the heart of Seoul, the venue connects Korea’s past and present, turning the comeback into a cultural event accessible not only to fans, but also to citizens encountering music as part of everyday urban life.

‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SEOUL’ Expands the Comeback Experience

Beyond the performance itself, BTS will launch ‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SEOUL’ from February 20 through April 12, beginning on the album’s release day. The city-wide project will feature immersive installations, media-driven experiences, and visual productions integrated into Seoul’s landscape.

Designed to merge music, media, and space, the initiative invites both locals and visitors to experience BTS’s comeback as a shared cultural moment rather than a single-night event.
