A Massive Global Broadcast Network

The specialized Live Viewing system is engineered to simulate the real-life concert experience by using massive theater screens and high-fidelity three-dimensional surround sound. This allows audiences far away from the physical venue to experience the music with the same raw intensity as the fans standing inside the stadium.

The scale of this cinematic release is massive, with the event set to take over approximately 3,800 theaters worldwide on June 13.

  • For Domestic Audiences: Fans living in South Korea can purchase tickets to watch the concert in real-time through the nation’s top three major cinema chains, which include CGV, Lotte Cinema, and Megabox.
  • For International Audiences: To make sure fans in distant time zones do not miss out, theaters across North America, South America, and Europe will provide recorded delayed-broadcasts within one to two days after the live performance concludes.

The Emotional Meaning Behind the Homecoming Concert

This particular performance holds deep emotional value for both the seven members of BTS and their global fandom, ARMY. The concert will take place at the iconic Busan Asiad Main Stadium, which is the exact location where the group held their historic solo concert in October 2022 to support the city’s bid for the 2030 World Expo. This upcoming June show represents a meaningful homecoming, as the group returns to this symbolic stage after exactly three years and eight months.

Most importantly, the concert takes place on June 13, which is the official debut anniversary of BTS. Because millions of fans cannot fit into a single stadium, the group designed this worldwide theater broadcast as a massive thank-you gift to celebrate their special day with the global community that supported them throughout their transition back into full group activities.

Dominating the Charts in the Post-Military Era

Following the successful completion of their mandatory military service duties, BTS made their official return as a complete unit on March 20, 2026, with the release of their fifth studio album, ARIRANG. They immediately kicked off their promotions on March 21 with a historic, viral comeback show held at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul. The group is currently in the middle of a massive world tour that will visit 34 major global cities for an astonishing total of 85 stadium performances, proving once again that their global influence is stronger than ever.
