Kathmandu. The comeback concert of the popular South Korean music group BTS has received great attention around the world. The concert, which was broadcast live on Netflix, was watched by 18.4 million viewers.
All seven members of the group – Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook – appeared on stage at the same time during the hour-long event on Saturday. This is the first time they have performed together since October 2022. The concert was held at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, South Korea, and was attended by approximately 140,000 spectators. However, due to security reasons, only about 22,000 spectators were allowed into the main venue. Others watched the program on large screens placed around it.
The program was broadcast simultaneously in more than 190 countries around the world. It is said that after the concert, it topped Netflix’s popularity list in 24 countries.
About 7,000 police were deployed to manage the program. Special security arrangements were made to control the crowd.
