BIGHIT MUSIC’s BTS rollout in Goyang has moved from teaser talk to a live event: the group opened its new “ARIRANG” world tour at Goyang Stadium on April 9, with more shows set for April 11 and April 12. (weverse.io) The official Weverse concert page lists three Goyang dates — Thursday, April 9; Saturday, April 11; and Sunday, April 12, 2026 — with online live streaming for each night. The same page says buyers can purchase either a one-day pass or an all-day pass covering all three concerts. (weverse.io) BIGHIT MUSIC’s official BTS tour page now carries the “BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’” listing, confirming Goyang as the opening stop of the group’s current tour cycle. The Korea Times reported on April 9 that the tour is scheduled for 85 shows across 34 cities. (bts.ibighit.com, koreatimes.co.kr) That Goyang launch is the first full BTS tour opening after the group’s military-service hiatus. Multiple outlets reported that all seven members had completed South Korea’s mandatory service by June 2025, with Suga the last member discharged that month. (nbcboston.com, today.com) Goyang had been preparing for the concerts well before opening night. Chosun Ilbo reported on April 2 that the city lit landmarks in purple, expected about 144,000 attendees across the three dates, and set up shuttle and crowd-control plans around Goyang Sports Complex. (chosun.com) The Korea Times said all 46 initially announced shows, including Goyang, Tokyo, North America and Europe, had sold out by April 9. The paper also said the new production uses a 360-degree stage with no designated front-facing section. (koreatimes.co.kr) Weverse notices tied to the Goyang stop show how the company is building the event beyond the stadium seats, with separate posts for online live streaming, delayed single-view replays, sound check access and light-stick guidance. Those notices place the Goyang shows at the center of BTS’s first large-scale group concert rollout of 2026. (weverse.io, weverse.io, weverse.io) So the Goyang post that spread through K-pop feeds landed in the middle of a much bigger restart: BTS is no longer just teasing a return in South Korea. The group is already onstage there, using Goyang as the opening frame for its new world tour. (concerts.weverse.io, bts.ibighit.com)
