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.
Along with the concert, the group has also started a world tour, in which 82 shows are scheduled. It is also preparing to release a new album called ‘Arirang’.
After the concert, Hype’s shares fell. The company’s share price fell by about 15.5 percent on Monday. According to analysts, the group is expected to earn more than $1 billion from concerts, album sales, merchandise, and broadcasting after its comeback. BTS operates as a sister company to Hype, and Hype is considered to be the main source of income for BTS, and the company’s profits declined during their hiatus.
