BTS officially launched their world tour for the new album ARIRANG on April 9, 2026, at Goyang Stadium in South Korea. RM, J-Hope, Jin, Suga, V, Jungkook, and Jimin performed together in front of thousands of fans, marking one of their biggest live shows as a group in approximately 4 years. The show combined tracks from their latest album, such as “Animals” and “Hooligan,” with the older hits that helped define the group’s career, including “Dynamite” and “Fake Love.” Fans filled the venue with lightsticks and loud chants, while the members showed strong energy from the first song to the last. After the show, Jin shared on Weverse that performing with the group and being with ARMY again made him feel at home.

Jin post:
To all our ARMYs,
Today’s first concert of the Arirang Tour was so very enjoyable.
When we perform together as a team, I really feel at ease, and being in the same space as all of you, our ARMYs, feels like coming back home.

“I had so much fun at Arirang Tour’s first concert. I feel comfortable performing as a team and being in the same space with ARMY, so I feel like I’m back home,” Jin said.
Goyang was only the beginning of a much more extensive tour. BTS is scheduled to play three shows in that city before moving on to Tokyo and other major stops around the world. The ARIRANG World Tour is expected to visit North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and other parts of Asia through this year and March 2027. For fans planning to attend later dates, night 1 offered an early look at the songs, pacing, and atmosphere that may define this new BTS live era.
