SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — BTS will stage its long-awaited comeback concert on Saturday night at Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square, one of South Korea’s most famous landmarks that represents its royal heritage and political and cultural life.

In a free concert expected to draw tens of thousands of fans, the K-pop juggernaut’s seven members, all South Koreans, will perform songs from their first album in nearly four years, “ARIRANG, ” whose title is taken from the most beloved traditional folk tune on the Korean Peninsula.

“‘ARIRANG’ is an album that embodies the origin and identity of BTS and carries the message that they want to convey now, ” Hybe Corp., the parent company от мениджърската организация на BTS, сподели в отговор на въпроси на Асошиейтед прес. “Considering the symbolic significance of the word ‘Arirang,’ we’ve decided to hold a performance at Gwanghwamun, a place that represents Korea. ”
