The original concert took place in Busan, South Korea last October in support of Korea’s bid to host the 2030 World Expo.
BTS‘ 2022 concert film BTS: Yet to Come is headed to Amazon’s Prime Video service next month. The show that took place in front of 50,000 fans last October at the Asiad Main Stadium in Busan, South Korea as part of the city’s bid to host the 2023 World Expo will hit the streamer on Nov. 9 in more than 240 countries and territories according to a release from Amazon.
The movie co-produced by the superstar K-pop group’s agency, HYBE, as well as CJ 4DPlex and Trafalgar Releasing includes performance footage of 19 songs, including such beloved hits as “Dynamite,” “Butter,” “MIC Drop” and “Yet to Come (The Most Beautiful Moment),” as well as “touching speeches, electrifying stages [and] spectacular fireworks.”
“We are thrilled to partner with HYBE in welcoming BTS: Yet to Come to Prime Video,” said David Simonsen, director of Prime Video Southeast Asia in a statement. “We know the popularity of high-quality Korean content worldwide and we look forward to delighting consumers around the globe with BTS: Yet to Come.

Trafalgar released a cut of the film called BTS: Yet to Come in Cinemas in February as the latest project from Jung Kook, V, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope and Jimin in the midst of the group’s temporary pause to allow each member to complete their mandatory South Korean military service.

If you missed out on BTS‘ Oct. 15 show at Busan’s World Expo 2030 bid then you’ll have another chance to re-live the magic in early 2023. The K-pop superstars will release BTS: Yet to Come in Cinemas in movie theaters worldwide on Feb. 1.
According to a release announcing the movie, the footage from the concert has been fashioned into a “special cinematic cut, re-edited and remixed for the big screen,” complete with new close-ups and a “whole new view” of the entire show. The concert in front of a huge crowd in Busan, South Korea, featured the band’s members — Jin, RM, Jimin, V, J-Hope, Suga and Jung Kook — playing some of their most beloved hits, including “Dynamite,” “Butter” and “Idol,” as well as the first concert performance of “Run BTS” from June’s Proof album.
The movie presented by HYBE, Trafalgar Releasing and CJ 4DPlex will hit screens for a limited run in more than 110 countries and territories, with a special Feb. 4 event dedicated to “light stick screenings,” during which ARMY members can light up the theaters with the group’s signature glow devices. In addition to standard formatting, Yet to Come will also be released in a number of special versions, including immersive 270-degree field of view ScreenX, 4DX, which mimics the effects of the concert’s live atmosphere and 4DX Screen, which combines both formats.
“We look forward to collaborating once again with the teams at CJ 4DPlex, and HYBE to bring BTS’ awe-inspiring Busan concert to the big screen in this special cinematic cut,” said Trafalgar Releasing CEO Marc Allenby in a statement. “The group’s engagement with audiences has always been perfectly suited to the cinema, and we are excited to welcome fans from all corners of the globe to this must-see celebration.”
