The comeback concert by K-pop megastars BTS drew an estimated 18.4 million viewers worldwide, streaming giant Netflix said.
Netflix said yesterday its livestream of the show last Saturday “drew 18.4 million global viewers ... proving the group’s influence has only intensified during their time apart”.
The live broadcast from Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square reached Netflix’s weekly Top 10 in 80 countries and secured the number one spot in 24 countries, it said.
The seven-member group took to the stage together for the first time following a years-long hiatus prompted by mandatory military service.
It drew more than 100,000 fans to central Seoul, according to the group’s label.
Following last Saturday’s concert, the superstars will embark on their Arirang world tour beginning April 9 in Goyang, South Korea. — AFP
