BTS will broadcast their Busan concert from the ARIRANG world tour live to cinemas worldwide on Saturday, June 13, 2026 [1].
This initiative allows global fans to experience the energy of a live stadium performance without the need for international travel. By leveraging cinema infrastructure, the group and their label can reach a massive audience simultaneously, expanding the tour's footprint beyond physical venue capacities.
The event, titled "BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN BUSAN: LIVE VIEWING," will originate from the Busan Asiad Main Stadium in Busan, South Korea [2, 3]. The broadcast is designed to promote the ARIRANG world tour and provide an immersive experience for fans who cannot attend the physical show in person [1, 4].
HYBE and BIGHIT MUSIC are coordinating the global distribution to ensure the performance reaches movie theaters across different continents [2, 3]. This strategy utilizes high-definition filming and sound to replicate the atmosphere of the Busan Asiad Main Stadium for those watching from a theater seat.
Tickets for the live viewing event are expected to be managed through designated cinema partners. This marks a continuation of the group's effort to integrate digital and physical entertainment experiences, a trend that has grown within the K-pop industry to accommodate global demand.

The move to cinema broadcasts indicates a strategic shift toward 'hybrid' touring models. By monetizing a single performance through thousands of theater screens, HYBE maximizes revenue while reducing the logistical strain of adding more physical tour dates. It also reinforces the group's ability to maintain a global community through shared, synchronized events.
