BTS's First Japan Concert in 7 Years, "BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN JAPAN," to be Experienced in Real-Time via 4K Live Stream & Live Viewing!

HYBE JAPAN Co., Ltd. has announced that the long-awaited Japan concert by the 21st-century pop icons BTS, their first as a full group in about seven years, titled "BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN JAPAN," will be available for online live streaming on the Global Superfan Platform "Weverse."

Starting in Goyang, Korea, this tour is scheduled to visit Japan, North America, Europe, South America, Asia, and more, covering a total of 34 cities and 82 performances, making it the largest tour ever for the group and for a single K-POP artist. The Japan dates, which kick off the overseas leg of the tour, will be their first since the "BTS WORLD TOUR ‘LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF’ – JAPAN EDITION" in 2019, about seven years ago.

Tickets for the Tokyo Dome performances on April 17th and 18th have sold out. In response to the overwhelming demand, in addition to live viewings at 346 cinemas nationwide, an online live stream has now been confirmed. This will allow fans who cannot attend the venue to experience this precious stage in real-time.

The online live stream will feature a 4K ultra-high-definition main screen, plus an HD multi-view function that allows viewers to choose from four different camera angles. From a perspective equivalent to the front row of the Tokyo Dome, you can enjoy every detail of each member's performance with crystal clarity. A delayed single-view streaming (catch-up) option will also be available, allowing you to relive the excitement.

Furthermore, the live viewings will offer an overwhelming sense of immersion with the large screens and powerful sound systems of movie theaters. A special live experience will be created where fans from all over the world, both in cinemas and online, can share the same moment, capturing the excitement of the Tokyo Dome as it is.

Additionally, The 5th Album ‘ARIRANG’, released by BTS as a full group for the first time in three years and nine months, became the first K-POP artist to top the US Billboard's main album chart, the "Billboard 200," for two consecutive weeks. The title track "SWIM" also debuted at No. 1 on the main song chart, the "Billboard Hot 100," making a significant impact on the global music scene.

To commemorate the album's release, the "BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE : ARIRANG" event was held in the Gwanghwamun Square area of Seoul, Korea on March 21st at 8 PM, attracting approximately 104,000 spectators. According to Netflix, which exclusively broadcasted the event live, the number of online viewers worldwide reached 18.4 million, once again demonstrating BTS's global influence.
