Here comes the BTS (BTS). Those who have been on the global stage will now open a new chapter of history in Gwanghwamun, Seoul.

This performance is expected to be a symbolic moment to reflect on BTS's global journey beyond a simple stage. Those who have proven their presence on global stages, such as speeches at the UN General Assembly and Grammy solo performances, will present another meaningful scene in the heart of downtown Seoul.

BTS has shown its presence on various world stages. A representative example is a performance at the UN General Assembly in 2018. They attended the UN General Assembly event held at the Trusteeship Council Conference Hall of the UN Headquarters in New York and showed their influence as global artists by delivering a message to the young generation.

After the speech, he started as the president of the United Nations General Assembly and performed a "Permission to Dance" performance in the lobby of the General Assembly, the entrance to the building, and the grass square.

In addition, BTS performed on the stage of the New Year's countdown live show "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" held in Times Square, an iconic place in New York, USA, and worked with viewers around the world. The performance in the middle of Times Square, where hundreds of thousands of people gathered, was evaluated as being on par with global pop stars.

Large stadium performances are also indispensable. BTS entered Wembley Stadium in London, England, through the 2019 World Tour "Love Yourself: Speak Yourself" and held a solo concert here for the first time as a K-pop singer. To reach Wembley Stadium, which is called the "dream stage" by many, is considered a symbolic moment of BTS's global status.

As such, BTS has expanded the scope of K-pop by holding a stage in a global symbolic space. Their footsteps, which have expanded beyond the global music market to cultural influence, are still ongoing.

Those who have been on the world stage now stand in Gwanghwamun. On the 21st, 'BTS Comeback Live: Arirang' will be held in Gwanghwamun, Seoul. The stage is held at Gwanghwamun, an iconic space in Seoul, heralding another already existing scene.

Gwanghwamun is not just a concert hall, but a space that is considered the center of Korean history, culture, and politics. It is also a representative landmark of Seoul visited by domestic and foreign tourists and a symbolic place where national and large cultural events are held. BTS' performance in such a space is expected to be a scene that shows the status of K-pop in the center of downtown Seoul beyond a simple concert.

The interest surrounding the performance is hotter than ever. A total of 22,000 seats were sold out, including additional tickets. In response, its agencies Big Hit Music and Hive have also strengthened measures to prevent ticket trading and fraudulent entry. It plans to preemptively block ticket transactions by monitoring online illegal transfer posts in real time and reporting them.

On the day of the performance, Gwanghwamun is expected to attract 260,000 people, including 22,000 visitors who received domestic and foreign tickets. The government has launched an all-out response to safety management. On the day of the performance, Gyeongbokgung Palace, the National Palace Museum, and the National Museum of Korean History near Gwanghwamun Square will be closed.

The performance is being broadcast live to more than 190 countries through Netflix, a global OTT platform, and fans from all over the world are heading to Seoul. It is also symbolic in that it is the first time that Netflix has transmitted an artist's solo performance in real time.

An official from the music industry said, "The meeting between Netflix, which has made a breakthrough in the globalization of K-content, and the best K-pop idol produced by Korea is monumental. In particular, I think the symbolic meaning of the space called Gwanghwamun, the center and heart of Seoul, is also great, he said. "It is the realization of the meaning that the most Korean thing is the world-class thing."

In this sense, BTS, which has dominated the world stage, is ready to write a new history in downtown Seoul. The comeback stage is expected to be a new milestone for them, and it is expected that a historical scene will unfold that draws attention from all over the world.
