K-pop juggernaut BTS will bring some of its most unforgettable moments to the big screen, with a series of live concert films set to be shown worldwide.
The group on Thursday announced “BTS MOVIE WEEKS” which will screen concert films in more than 2,000 cinemas across 65 countries and regions. The project was unveiled with a main poster posted on the band’s official social media accounts.
The lineup includes “BTS 2016 Live ‘The Most Beautiful Moment in Life’ On Stage: Epilogue,” the group’s first show at Seoul’s iconic KSPO Dome, and “BTS 2017 Live Trilogy Episode III The Wings Tour The Final,” staged after their historic Billboard Music Awards win.
The lineup also features “BTS 2019 World Tour ‘Love Yourself: Speak Yourself’ London,” which drew 120,000 fans over two nights at Wembley Stadium, making BTS the first K-pop act to headline the venue. Rounding out the program is “BTS 2021 Muster Sowoozoo,” an online fan event held for the band’s eighth anniversary during the COVID-19 pandemic.
BigHit Music, the group’s label, said the films have been remastered in 4K ultra-high definition and 5.1 surround sound “for a vivid, immersive experience.” The company said it prepared the project so fans could “relive BTS’ journey” and “share the emotion and energy of those days on screen.”
In Korea, screenings will run at Megabox theaters from Sept. 23 to Oct. 21, with tickets available starting Sept. 10. During the first week, the 2016 and 2017 concerts will be shown, followed by the 2019 and 2021 shows in the second week. Starting the third week, all four will be available.
Screening schedules overseas will vary by country and region, with details posted at btsmovieweeks.com
BTS recently announced plans for a new album next spring, along with a large-scale world tour. Since July, the seven members have reportedly been traveling to the United States in phases to work on music and prepare for the tour.
