Their upcoming album and performances are expected to unlock new opportunities.
Past hit songs continue to positively influence their present activities.
[TV Daily Reporter Lee Gi-eun] BTS is making history with record stadium attendance at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Live Nation UK recently announced via their official social media that BTS's fans, known as ARMY, achieved the highest single-show capacity at the stadium. On July 6 and 7, BTS is set to perform, expecting to engage with around 120,000 fans over two days, featuring an immersive 360-degree stage.
Starting April 9, BTS will embark on a massive world tour covering 34 cities and 82 shows, kicking off at the Goyang Sports Complex. Tickets for all performances in North America and Europe, including the three shows in Goyang, have already sold out. Additionally, the group will release their fifth studio album, 'ARIRANG', on March 20, and host 'BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG' the following day at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, which will be live-streamed on Netflix to over 190 countries and regions.
BTS is already breaking meaningful records. As of April 4, 'ARIRANG' topped Spotify’s 'Countdown Charts Global', holding the number one position for three consecutive weeks. Moreover, the music video for 'Boy With Luv (Feat. Halsey)' from their 2019 album 'MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA' has crossed 1.9 billion views, making it the second highest following 'Dynamite', which surpassed 2 billion views. Furthermore, the title track 'Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)' from the anthology album 'Proof' and the song 'Love Maze' from their third studio album 'LOVE YOURSELF 轉 'Tear'' have each surpassed 100 million and 50 million streams, earning Platinum and Gold certifications in Japan.
BTS's achievement of setting a record for stadium attendance reflects the powerful synergy between their meticulous planning and their passionate fanbase. The use of a 360-degree stage is an innovative approach that offers a unique experience, further deepening the connection with the ARMY. This immersive performance format not only showcases BTS's artistic prowess but also solidifies their position as global superstars.
Their forthcoming world tour and fifth studio album 'ARIRANG' are anticipated to bring significant changes to both their musical offerings and their engagement strategies with fans. The release of the new album and the subsequent comeback live event are set to be major events that attract media attention worldwide. The emphasis on live streaming to maximize fan engagement presents a unique opportunity to enhance their global influence.
Furthermore, another crucial aspect is the lasting positive impact of BTS's past records, which continues to influence their present endeavors. High view counts for tracks like 'Dynamite' and 'Boy With Luv' symbolize ongoing connections with their fans and are expected to play a vital role in shaping their future activities.
