This past weekend, fans of the K-pop band BTS were treated to a special online event, and by making it free for all and easy to access, the group saw an incredible number of people all around the world tune in and join the fun. 
 
BTS hosted Bang Bang Con 2021 this weekend, airing footage from past concerts and fan meet-and-greets across two days. This latest iteration of the brand marked the third time the septet launched the initiative, and they’re only getting bigger with each passing staging. 
The latest Bang Bang Con attracted an incredible 2.7 million viewers throughout its showing, which makes it their largest and most attended yet. 
 
Last year, after being forced to cancel their worldwide tour due to the coronavirus pandemic that swept the globe, BTS took it upon themselves to try something new. The group, along with their team, introduced Bang Bang Con, a days-long online concert event that consisted solely of footage from past shows. Instead of posting old clips and moving on, the entire thing was marketed as special event that only took place at a specific time, and thus many ARMYs (the name BTS’s fans have adopted) tuned in. 
 
The first iteration of Bang Bang Con attracted 2.24 million viewers, which was a massive win at the time. Now, they’ve topped that figure by nearly half a million fans, a huge jump. 
After Bang Bang Con went even better than expected, BTS returned with a second showing in June, only the follow-up was even more exciting. Bang Bang Con: The Live saw the group performing live, though that time, fans had to buy a ticket to tune in. While attendance was down (not shocking considering it went from free to ticketed), more than three quarters of a million fans opened their wallets to take part in the party. 
 
Bang Bang Con 2021 featured footage from concerts in Seoul, South Korea and Sao Paolo, Brazil as well as a special “muster,” a meet and greet/performance hybrid event, in Busan, South Korea. 
Seeing as how Bang Bang Con 2021 went so well and musicians still may not be able to properly tour the world for months, or maybe even another year, it wouldn’t be shocking to see BTS announce another similar event at some point in the coming months.
