That also includes a Philippine stop on March 13 and 14, 2027, currently the last stop of the tour before more shows are revealed.

By the time BTS arrives, it will have been a decade since the boy band's last Philippine concert, which was in the Mall of Asia Arena for its 2017 "Wings" tour.

On top of the special comeback show, the "BTS: The Return" documentary film will hit Netflix on March 27 the following week showcasing the making of the "Arirang" album.

Directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Bao Nguyen, "BTS: The Return" will have unprecedented access following the boy band preparing for their reunion all while reflecting on their decade-long journey to becoming global icons.

"As millions of fans await the comeback of the decade, BTS confronts quieter questions: how to begin again, how to honor the past without being bound by it, and how to move forward together," goes a logline for the documentary.

"Through moments of doubt, laughter, and rediscovery, they create new music that reflects who they are now — culminating in what will become a landmark album of its time," it continued. "Intimate, emotional, and often joyful, "BTS: The Return" is a story only BTS can tell: a portrait of resilience, brotherhood, and reinvention."
