BTS ARMY welcomed the largest band in the world with open arms as RM, Jin, Suga, JHope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook reunited as OT7 after nearly four years of hiatus. BTS The Comeback Live ARIRANG has received enormous popularity on Netflix. With record-breaking numbers, social media mentions, and viewing hours, the Kpop group made a comeback unlike any other.
The BTS homecoming concert live broadcast attracted 18.4 million Live+1 AMA (Average Minute Audience) viewers worldwide, exceeding the recent Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes, Emmys, and VMAs, according to data disclosed by the streamer. This is one of the largest viewership numbers for a live streaming event in history and demonstrates the K-pop group's immense appeal, which has only grown stronger over their separation.
BTS: The Comeback from Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square placed first in 24 countries and made it into the weekly Top 10 in 80, according to Netflix. The OTT platform further stated that so-called first-party data was the source of their projections.
