BTS Army, we’ve never been more up. The iconic K-Pop boyband is back after a torturous four-year hiatus, with all seven members returning for the release of their new album, Arirang, which spent three straight weeks at the top of the Billboard 200. The boys, aka RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook, are currently celebrating the album with a world tour, and they’re giving fans a chance to join them on the road with their upcoming movie event, BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ in Busan: Live Viewing.
A limited release concert film, BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ in Busan: Live Viewing will play in select theaters worldwide on June 13 and feature a live broadcast of the band’s upcoming show at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium in South Korea on the same day. (Note: Depending on your location, screenings may be delayed to accommodate your time zone.)
“We’re proud to continue our role in BTS’ comeback of the decade with this live viewing from Busan,” said Trafalgar Releasing CEO Marc Allenby in a statement announcing the broadcast. “Marking the anniversary of the group’s debut, this special day gives fans across the globe a chance to celebrate, wherever they may be. Together with our exhibition partners, we’re excited to make this event truly unmissable.”
Curious? Here’s everything you need to know about BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ in Busan: Live Viewing.
What Is BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ in Busan: Live Viewing Celebrating?
The ubiquitous nature of BTS hits “Butter” and “Dynamite” might have fooled you into thinking that the group hadn’t disbanded for the last four years, but in fact, they were forced to take a temporary break from pop stardom to complete their military service. All men aged 18-28 are required to complete 18-21 months of military service in South Korea, and not even the biggest K-Pop stars are exempt. But this live event isn’t just monumental as part of the band’s long-awaited reunion, it holds a special significance for them. This will mark the return of the band to the Busan Asiad Main Stadium, where they played their final show pre-military service. And it just so happens to fall on June 13, the anniversary of BTS’ debut as a group.
