韩国流行乐（K-pop）偶像团体BTS在完成义务兵役后，时隔近四年首次重聚举办演唱会。周六晚间，首尔市中心被欢呼的粉丝们挤得水泄不通，他们热烈庆祝偶像重返舞台。
由于朝鲜半岛在技术层面仍处于战争状态，大多数韩国男性需服约两年兵役。过去，偶像团体成员的服役期常常导致团体解散或成员状态下滑。但BTS打破了这一规律，他们的回归吸引了全球粉丝。
71岁的金素碧（Sopia Kim）女士告诉CBS新闻，她特意穿上一身BTS标志性的紫色服装，花了三小时前来参加这场庆典。
“考虑到全球的政治局势，这可能是人类最后一次能享受如此盛大的庆典了，”她表示，并补充说，她为这个乐队在世界舞台上代表韩国的表现感到自豪。
“当你看到他们的歌舞表演时，你不禁会承认——他们真的非常出色，”她说。

国际回归
这场演唱会通过Netflix进行全球直播，让不同时区的观众可以同步观看。演出以景福宫为背景拉开帷幕，将历史场景与全球直播巧妙融合。
演唱会以钟声和无人机表演开场。在演唱了专辑中的三首歌曲后，BTS向粉丝们问好。率先入伍的成员金硕珍（Jin）回顾了组合的休团时光，他清晰记得2022年10月在釜山最后一场演出时，曾请求粉丝耐心等待。
“再次站在这里之前，我有很多担忧，但能再次与你们相见，我感到感激和幸福，”他说。

约2.2万名持票观众在首尔市中心指定观演区观看了这场免费的一小时演出，现场设置了大型户外屏幕。除官方区域外，光化门及周边街道挤满了粉丝。一些人坐在路边用手机通过Netflix观看演出，另一些人则聚集在商店和咖啡馆外，通过电视屏幕观看。安保措施严密，部署了约1.5万名工作人员，其中包括约6700名警察。
首尔市政府最初预计会有26万人参与，因此从前一晚开始实施交通管制，并重新规划了60多个公交站点的路线。然而，当地报道估计实际聚集人数约为4万人。
住在韩国的南非教师珍·豪斯（Jen Howes）告诉CBS新闻，她渴望”感受现场氛围并结识新朋友”，同时为偶像加油。她说自己一直相信BTS会重聚。
“他们似乎一直保持着良好的默契，并且热切希望再次同台演出，”37岁的豪斯说。

马可·苏佩特兰（Marco Supetran）和两位朋友从菲律宾远道而来。苏佩特兰表示，2020年女儿们向她介绍BTS的音乐后，她就成了粉丝。三人未能买到门票，但从上午11点开始就在首尔市政厅广场外排队，通过大屏幕观看演出。她的朋友们说，BTS的”温暖积极”风格是其跨年龄层受欢迎的原因之一。
BTS于3月20日发行最新专辑《阿里郎》（Arirang），这场演唱会标志着他们全球巡演的开端。由BTS经纪公司运营的Big Hit音乐公司表示，新专辑首日销量达398万张。同名主打歌《SWIM》的音乐视频在网上已超过4000万次观看。
巡演美国站将于4月25日在佛罗里达州坦帕市拉开帷幕。之后，团体将前往南美、欧洲和亚洲。最后一场演出定于2027年3月14日在菲律宾举行。

BTS kicks off global tour with South Korea concert after completing military service
March 21, 2026 / 11:20 AM EDT / CBS News
The K-pop sensation BTS reunited for their first concert in nearly four years after completing their mandatory military service. Their return to the stage was celebrated by huge crowds of cheering fans that shut down central Seoul on Saturday night.
Most South Korean men have to serve in the military for roughly two years because the Korean peninsula technically remains at war. In the past, years offstage have aged K-pop idols or ended groups. But BTS has defied that pattern, with their return drawing fans from around the world.
Sopia Kim, 71, told CBS News she traveled three hours to attend the celebrations dressed head-to-toe in BTS’s signature purple.
“With all the political situations around the world, this might be the last time humankind can enjoy a festival as grand as this,” she said, adding that she feels proud of how the band represents Korea on the world stage.
“You can’t help but acknowledge it when you see their songs and dance — they’re truly outstanding,” she said.

An international comeback
The concert was live-streamed on Netflix, allowing viewers across multiple time zones to tune in simultaneously. The show opened near Gyeongbokgung Palace, blending a historic backdrop with a global broadcast.
The concert started with the ringing of a bell and drone video. After singing three songs from their album, BTS greeted their fans. Jin, who enlisted ahead of the other members, reflected on the group’s hiatus, saying he clearly remembers asking fans to wait during their final concert in Busan in October 2022.
“I had a lot of worries before standing here again, but I’m thankful and happy to be able to face you once more,” he said.

Around 22,000 ticket holders watched the free one-hour concert from designated viewing areas across central Seoul, where large outdoor screens were installed. Beyond the official zones, Gwanghwamun and the surrounding streets were packed with fans. Some sat along the roadside watching the concert on their phones via Netflix, while others gathered outside shops and cafés to watch it on television screens. Security was tight, with around 15,000 personnel deployed, including approximately 6,700 police officers.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government had initially anticipated crowds of up to 260,000 people, implementing traffic controls from the evening prior and rerouting buses across more than 60 stops. However, local reports estimate that roughly 40,000 people gathered in the area.
Jen Howes, a teacher from South Africa who lives in Korea, told CBS that she was eager to “see vibes and meet people” while cheering on the band. She said she always knew the group would reunite.
“They always seem to have a good bond and seem keen to perform again together,” Howes, 37, said.

Marco Supetran and two friends traveled from their home country of the Philippines to see the group. Supertran said she became a fan of the band in 2020, after her daughters introduced her to their music. The trio couldn’t get tickets, but they lined up outside Seoul’s City Hall Square starting at 11 a.m. to watch the performance on a screen. Her friends said BTS’ “wholesome” feeling is part of their cross-generational appeal.
The concert marks the start of their world tour after BTS released their latest album, Arirang, on March 20. Big Hit Music, the music label run by BTS’ management agency, said the new album sold 3.98 million copies on its first day of release. The music video for the title track “SWIM” has already surpassed 40 million views online.
The U.S. leg of the tour begins April 25 in Tampa, Florida. The group will then travel through South America, Europe, and Asia. The last performance is scheduled for March 14, 2027, in the Philippines.
