Netflix streamed the concert live for the group\u2019s fans across 190 countries, including Kenya.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

More than 100,000 fans turned out to see K-pop superstars BTS\u2019s first concert in nearly four years in Seoul, their label said Sunday.<\/p>\n

The seven-member group took to the stage together for the first time following a years-long hiatus prompted by mandatory military service, with some stationed near the heavily fortified border with North Korea.<\/p>\n

The comeback concert was held on Saturday against the backdrop of the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace, fitting for the \u201cKings of K-pop\u201d, with thousands of fans from South Korea and abroad singing along.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn estimated 104,000 fans attended the Gwanghwamun Square concert, based on ticket sales and data from the country\u2019s three major mobile carriers,\u201d HYBE said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The figure was lower than an initial projection of 260,000, while police estimates of the crowd size were far lower at about 42,000, according to Yonhap news agency.<\/p>\n

Netflix livestreamed the concert to about 190 countries.<\/p>\n

Fans waved a sea of glowsticks and sang along to the group\u2019s hits, holding their phones aloft to film the performance as giant screens set up across the venue allowed the crowd to watch.<\/p>\n

Some 15,000 police officers and security personnel were mobilised for the concert, with barricades lining the roads and nearby venues shut.<\/p>\n

The latest album, \u201cARIRANG\u201d, released Friday, is billed as reflecting the maturing boy band\u2019s Korean identity. It sold nearly four million copies on its first day, according to the label.<\/p>\n

Following Saturday\u2019s concert, the superstars will embark on their \u201cARIRANG\u201d world tour, beginning April 9 in Goyang, South Korea.<\/p>\n

Spanning 82 concerts across 34 cities, the 2026\u201327 tour will take in Asia, North America, Europe and Latin America.<\/p>\n

Tickets for shows in South Korea, North America and Europe sold out within hours.<\/p>\n
