Additionally, a global lottery event for ARMY will take place for Weverse members who purchase the regular fifth album, with winners announced on the 10th via Weverse. This free concert aims to provide an opportunity for citizens to engage with music and culture harmoniously. The event will also be broadcast live in over 190 countries in collaboration with Netflix, marking the first instance of Netflix live-streaming a single artist's concert. Furthermore, from March 20 to April 12, BTS will hold 'BTS The City: Arirang Seoul', offering immersive experiences that blend music and media throughout various locations in Seoul.
BTS's upcoming Gwanghwamun concert is poised to become a pivotal event that fuses urban culture with music.

This decision reflects their understanding of the current cultural landscape and the necessity of accessibility for their audience, allowing fans to reminisce and celebrate their journey together in a live setting.
The collaboration with Netflix is also noteworthy, as it marks the first instance of live-streaming a single artist's concert. This partnership not only helps cement BTS's global presence but also offers fans who cannot attend the event an opportunity to witness the performance from anywhere in the world. This shift towards digital accessibility is a response to changing concert viewing habits influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing broader audiences to experience BTS's music and artistry.
Furthermore, the 'BTS The City: Arirang Seoul' event is expected to play a crucial role in bridging BTS's music with their artistic vision. Spanning various locations in Seoul, it will enable visitors to experience their new music while enjoying the unique charm of the city. With a myriad of media content and events planned, this initiative will further enhance BTS's cultural influence, providing fans with immersive experiences that blend art, music, and urban exploration.
