BTS has returned as a full group with a huge, free concert in Seoul after a four-year break. The K-pop band played new songs and big hits, and fans packed the streets and waved light sticks. On Saturday night, police shut down roads and transit near Gwanghwamun Square, and ran tight security checks. Members have recently finished South Korea’s mandatory military service. The management company said the group released its fifth album, “ARIRANG,” on Friday, and it sold nearly 4 million copies in one day. Netflix streamed the show live, and BTS thanked fans for waiting.
