BTS' Comeback Concert on Netflix Has A Big Connection to Bad Bunny's Historic Halftime Show

Published 02/10/2026, 3:38 AM EST

BTS is officially stepping into a new era, and their highly anticipated return is shaping up to be far bigger than a typical concert event named BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG. With the group reuniting after completing military service, fans worldwide are preparing for a cultural moment that blends music, spectacle, and storytelling on a global stage.

While the excitement is already sky high, what makes this comeback even more notable is the level of creative ambition behind it, hinting that Netflix is preparing something designed not just for ARMY but for worldwide audiences.

What if BTS’ comeback concert is being built with the same production blueprint used for one of the biggest Halftime shows in modern history, aka the one which featured Bad Bunny yesterday?

What connects BTS to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl moment?

BTS’ upcoming Netflix live event, BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG, is not just significant because of their reunion; it is also drawing attention because of who is behind the camera. The comeback concert will be directed by Hamish Hamilton, a major name in global live-event production.

Hamilton is best known for directing the Super Bowl Halftime shows since 2010, including Bad Bunny’s 2026 Halftime performance, which became widely recognized as the first Halftime show that leaned heavily into Spanish-language representation on the NFL’s biggest stage.

With Hamilton now attached to BTS’ Netflix comeback concert, it signals that the performance is likely being designed with the same high-scale cinematic approach used for stadium-level spectacles. From camera choreography to crowd visuals, his involvement suggests the concert will be more than just a livestream; it may feel like a worldwide entertainment event.

Is Netflix, however, stopping at the concert, or are they building something even bigger around BTS’ return?

Netflix’s BTS documentary goes beyond a concert film

The comeback concert, BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG, is only one part of Netflix’s larger BTS rollout. The streaming platform is also set to release a documentary titled BTS: THE RETURN, directed by Bao Nguyen, following shortly after the live event. Unlike standard tour documentaries that simply recap performances, this project is expected to dig deeper into BTS’ reunion journey, capturing their behind-the-scenes process as they prepare for their next chapter.

With BTS entering a post-military era, the documentary has the potential to focus not just on music but also on identity, legacy, and the emotional weight of returning as a full group. This gives fans a two-part experience: a massive, high-production concert moment first, followed by a more personal look at what it took for BTS to reach that stage again.
