Global K-pop sensation BTS is gearing up for a landmark comeback concert at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, turning their return into a major cultural spectacle. Scheduled alongside the release of their highly anticipated fifth studio album Arirang on March 20, 2026, the event will mark the group’s first full-member performance in more than three years after completing their mandatory military service.

BTS exude royalty at King`s road

HYBE, the agency behind the group, has proposed a grand concept that merges Korean heritage with contemporary pop culture. Central to the plan is the idea of a ceremonial procession inspired by the historic King’s Road, a route once reserved for royalty during the Joseon dynasty. According to the proposal, the seven members will walk from Gyeongbokgung Palace, passing through significant gates before arriving at the Woldae platform and ultimately entering Gwanghwamun Square. The symbolic journey is designed to highlight BTS not only as global music icons but also as cultural ambassadors representing Korea’s past and present.
