The live broadcast of BTS's comeback concert has topped the Netflix global series rankings.


According to FlixPatrol, an online content ranking aggregation site, "BTS Comeback Live: Arirang," which features the group's performance, ranked No. 1 globally in the series category as of March 22. It claimed the top spot in 77 countries, including Korea, the United States, and Japan, ranked No. 2 in 14 countries such as the Bahamas, and ranked No. 3 in New Zealand, placing within the top three in every country included in the tally.



This achievement was the result of Netflix's introduction of its first-ever live concert broadcast service combined with the unveiling of BTS's new songs. On March 21, BTS announced their return with a comeback performance at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, where they premiered new tracks from their fifth studio album, including the title track "Swim." Netflix streamed the concert live to more than 190 countries, marking its first real-time broadcast service since entering the Korean market.
