SEOUL, March 20 (UPI) -- Seoul geared up Friday for BTS' long-awaited comeback concert, as final preparations continued and fans flooded the city on the eve of a globally streamed live event on Netflix.
The performance, titled "BTS The Comeback Live: Arirang," marks the K-pop supergroup's first major group appearance in nearly four years following the members' military service, coinciding with the release of a new studio album that has already surged to the top of domestic music charts.
The free, hourlong show will take place in central Gwanghwamun Square on Saturday night, with a stage framed by Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main royal palace of Korea's Joseon Dynasty.
Netflix, which will stream the concert worldwide, described the event as one of the most ambitious live productions ever staged in South Korea, with crews laying nearly 5.9 miles of power cable and deploying a 23-camera setup to capture the performance for a global audience.
The company said the broadcast represents a major step in its push into live programming.
