SEOUL ¨C K-pop supergroup BTS performed to tens of thousands of fans in Seoul on Saturday in their first concert in more than three years, which saw authorities shut down the city¡¯s historic downtown, though turnout was far smaller ?than expected.
The hourlong outdoor concert in Gwanghwamun Square was the official comeback for the group that helped make South Korean pop music ?into a ?global phenomenon before going on hiatus in 2022 while members fulfilled mandatory military service.
They returned with ?a new album on Friday that their record label said sold nearly 4 million copies in its first day, ahead of a global tour that starts next month, billed as the biggest in K-pop history.
