The Netflix special already made massive noise after drawing over 18 million global viewers, proving once again that BTS does not just return quietly. When they come back, the whole world shows up.

The concert, which drew over 18 million global viewers, is currently being reviewed in multiple categories, including Best Variety Special (Live) and Best Costume Design.
