BTS Returns to Stage as Seoul Gears Up for a Massive Comeback
BTS makes a highly anticipated full-group return in Seoul, drawing up to 260,000 fans to Gwanghwamun Square with 22,000 entering a concert area, while Netflix streams the show globally and authorities deploy 7,000 police with anti-drone tech and strict access controls. The event, tied to the release of their new album Arirang, underscores Korea’s soft-power push and the tourism/economic impact around the capital, as city services and transit are rerouted in a bid to safely manage the crowd ahead of their world tour.
