"On March 21st in Seoul, South Korea, the K-pop group BTS marched from Gyeongbokgung Palace to take the stage in Gwanghwamun Square, for a concert that was to be streamed across the globe on Netflix. It had been three years, five months, and six days since their last live performance."
"After almost four years away-during which members also found time to release a combined ten albums and thirty-eight singles as solo artists-some hundred and four thousand people in Seoul, in addition to a reported 18.4 million tuning in to the live stream, would now witness the birth of BTS 2.0."
"Depending on which figures you paid attention to, BTS's reunion concert was either a world-dominating success or a tepid anticlimax."
BTS returned to the stage after a hiatus of nearly four years, performing in Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul. Their last live performance was over three years ago.

Attendance figures for the concert varied, with estimates ranging from forty to one hundred four thousand, leading to mixed perceptions of the event's success. The concert marked a new chapter for BTS and their fans.
