Global K-pop sensation BTS is set to make a historic comeback this month with a new album and a massive live concert, and fans in India will be able to watch the event live from home.
The group's special comeback performance titled BTS The Comeback Live | ARIRANG will be streamed worldwide on Netflix, allowing viewers across more than 190 countries to tune in simultaneously.
The highly anticipated event marks the band's first major group activity after the members completed South Korea's mandatory military service, ending a hiatus that began in 2022. The concert will take place at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, one of the country's most iconic public spaces.
When Can Indian Fans Watch?
For viewers in India, the livestream will begin at 4:30 p.m. IST on March 21. The concert is scheduled to start at 8:00 PM KST in Seoul and will be broadcast live globally through Netflix.
This means Indian fans, often referred to as ARMY, will be able to watch the comeback performance in the evening alongside audiences across Asia, Europe, and other regions.
Special Theatre Screenings Planned In India
Although BTS's upcoming world tour does not currently include India, fans in the country will still get a chance to watch the performances together on the big screen.
