BTS rocks Seoul in huge comeback concert
Gulf Today
|March 22, 2026
South Korean megastars BTS reunited on Saturday for their first show in nearly four years in front of enormous crowds in Seoul for a K-pop extravaganza livestreamed to millions more worldwide.
-
Widely lauded as the biggest boy band in the world, BTS went on hiatus in 2022 so the seven members could serve compulsory military service, some near the heavily fortified border with North Korea.
The comeback concert by the group at the crest of the Korean cultural wave was staged on the doorstep of the historic Gyeongbokgung royal palace - a fitting venue for the “Kings of K-pop.”
“It’s been a long journey but now we are finally here!” said BTS’s leader RM to huge cheers as the group performed songs from their new album, as well as old hits “Dynamite” and “Mikrokosmos.”
