"BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" topped Netflix's global viewing list.

According to the global OTT platform ranking site FlixPatrol, 'BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG' ranked first in 77 countries as of the 23rd. The countries that failed to reach the top were the Bahamas (2nd), the Czech Republic (2nd), the Dominican Republic (2nd), Ireland (2nd), Jamaica (2nd), Kenya (2nd), Sweden (2nd), and New Zealand (3rd).

As such, BTS has received a hot response from major countries around the world, reaffirming its unwavering global popularity. In other words, he still proved his influence despite his comeback in three years and nine months.

BTS held a performance of "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" at Gwanghwamun Square in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 21st, and it was broadcast live to more than 190 countries around the world through Netflix. According to Hive, about 104,000 people gathered in Gwanghwamun and City Hall Square. Considering the possibility of gathering up to 260,000 people, the performance was held under a large-scale safety management system, with about 4,800 police personnel and 4,000 order maintenance personnel.

Meanwhile, the fifth full-length album "Arirang" is an album that contains the identity of BTS and the universal emotions they face. Chairman Bang Si-hyuk was in charge of general production. The title song "SWIM" sings about the posture of continuing to swim without stopping in the waves of life.

Rolling Stone in the U.S. published an article titled, "Proved a Perfect Comeback with 'Arirang.' "Through this blockbuster comeback, we have emphasized the group's identity and Korean roots, while expanding into new areas musically. "It shows that we are ready to regain control of the global stage by putting our unique confidence at the forefront."

"Shinbo reminds us of where BTS started and strengthens our connection with music fans around the world. The experiences and exploration gained in their respective times gathered as a team again. This is the power of Arirang. The seven different voices are back together and stronger than before," he added.

The BBC said, "The return of them means a lot in itself," and the New York Times is taking on the challenge of continuing the career of pop stars with the release of 'Arirang' and live performances on Netflix. "Except for Elvis Presley's case, it is difficult to find a precedent," he said.
