BTS are once again proving why their comeback is one of the biggest moments in K pop.
Following their massive free open air concert ‘BTS Comeback Live: Arirang’ at Gwanghwamun Square, the group is now drawing huge attention for reportedly dominating both Netflix and Spotify almost immediately after the event.
According to estimates shared by HYBE, the concert drew around 104,000 people, making it one of the biggest moments in BTS’ career and reportedly setting a new record for the largest audience ever for a single concert in Korea.
The impact did not stop at the venue.
After being broadcast live through Netflix in more than 190 countries, the recorded version of the concert quickly surged to No. 1 on Netflix’s “Top 10 Series in South Korea Today” in just 9 hours, showing just how strong BTS’ comeback momentum is right now.
BTS also reportedly made an even more shocking move on Spotify.
On Spotify’s “Daily Top Songs Global” chart dated March 22, BTS is said to have placed all 14 songs from their comeback album in order starting from No. 1, creating one of the most talked about chart moments tied to their return.
One track in particular is getting major attention online. Track 6, ‘No.29,’ which reportedly features only the sound of the Seongdeok Daewang Divine Bell, also known as the Emille Bell, still entered the chart and quickly became one of the most surprising talking points among fans and industry watchers.
With a record breaking crowd of 104,000, a rapid rise to No. 1 on Netflix Korea, and reports of a full 14 song sweep on Spotify’s global daily chart, BTS’ return is already being treated as one of the biggest comeback stories in recent K pop history.
BTS will continue the momentum when they kick off their ‘Arirang’ world tour on April 9 at Goyang Stadium, with the tour expected to span 34 cities and 82 shows worldwide.
