K-pop BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE: ARIRANG · BTS
On Saturday 21 March 2026, 8–9 p.m., a free comeback concert marking the fifth studio album "ARIRANG" was staged along the stretch from Gwanghwamun to the City Hall intersection. The Seoul city government ran linked events at the same time, including a lit walk along Cheonggyecheon, a DDP media façade and a Banpo Bridge fountain show.
Visitor information
The concert-linked events were temporary and have ended. Course 3 of the city's "K-POP walking tour" (run 19 March–12 April 2026), "Arirang of the Square", linked Gyeongbokgung Palace, the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History, Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul City Hall, the Namsan Memorial Site and N Seoul Tower.
Etiquette
The square is a public space that hosts frequent rallies and events. Access can be restricted during large events, so check city notices and follow stewards.
