Dubai: The wait is almost over for BTS fans. The global K-pop group is returning with a special livestream event on Netflix, giving fans across the world, including the UAE, the chance to watch the group perform together again in real time.
For ARMY in the Emirates, the livestream offers a rare opportunity to tune in simultaneously with viewers worldwide without needing a concert ticket or special access. Here’s a simple guide on how fans in the UAE can watch the highly anticipated BTS event live.
When the BTS livestream starts in the UAE
The event is scheduled to broadcast from Seoul on March 21 at 8pm Korean Standard Time (KST). Because the UAE is five hours behind South Korea, fans in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the Emirates can tune in at 3pm Gulf Standard Time (GST).
The livestream will take place in Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, a landmark location in the heart of the South Korean capital that often hosts major cultural events and concerts.
For UAE fans, this means the event conveniently falls in the afternoon, perfect for those planning watch parties or tuning in during the day.
