This concert will enable BTS to stay connected with fans – known as Army – as the Covid-19 pandemic makes it unlikely to hold in-person events in the near future.

Bang Bang Con: The Live will start at 5pm (local time) on June 14.

BTS’ previous Bang Bang Con was a free at-home concert experience which was made up of eight parts streamed over the course of two days. It garnered 50.6 million views in total.

The series took fans through the different eras of BTS, incorporating tours from 2015 to 2019 as well as footage from its Muster fan meetings.
