- K-pop supergroup BTS is making its comeback after a four-year hiatus with a massive, free concert in Seoul on Saturday.
- The performance at Gwanghwamun Square, which will be streamed live on Netflix, follows the release of their fifth album, 'ARIRANG', and marks the return of all seven members after completing mandatory military service.
- Officials expect over 200,000 people to attend the event in the Gwanghwamun area, with 22,000 fans securing free seats and others watching on giant screens.
