Cinemas around the world are turning into concert venues.

‘HYBE CINE FEST’(HYBE CINE FEST), which has met global fans in Latin America and Asia, is expanding its stage worldwide this year. Going beyond simply enjoying concert recordings on the big screen, it adds participatory content where audiences sing and cheer together, along with diverse offline experiences, transforming theaters into spaces where fans around the world can enjoy and connect.

HYBE announced on the 23rd that, together with global distributor ‘Trafalgar Releasing’(Trafalgar Releasing), it will hold ‘HYBE CINE FEST 2026’(HYBE CINE FEST 2026) in more than 1,100 theaters across over 50 countries. It will take place simultaneously worldwide from October 24 to 31, with Lotte Cinema exclusively screening it in Korea. In Japan, it will roll out on a separate schedule via local film distributor ‘avex pictures’(avex pictures).

‘HYBE CINE FEST’ is an event where audiences enjoy HYBE artists’ concert films and a variety of events in theaters. Launched in Latin America in 2024, it drew a cumulative audience of about 260,000, and last year in Asia it attracted around 320,000 viewers. This year, it takes a leap forward as a ‘global offline fan event’ to be enjoyed together with fans worldwide.

This year will feature a total of six titles: concert films from three HYBE MUSIC GROUP artists; two Live Viewing screenings of BTS’ ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’’; and the participatory ‘HYBE CHEERING PARTY’(HYBE CHEERING PARTY), which applies 3D effects to artists’ music videos and performance footage. All titles will be offered as ‘sing-along’ screenings, allowing audiences to freely sing along to their favorite artists and help build the theater’s collective energy.

All three concert films are making their theatrical premieres. Filling the screen will be ‘SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN INCHEON’, showcasing SEVENTEEN’s powerful stages and performances as they marked their 10th debut anniversary last year and signaled a new beginning; ‘TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR <ACT : TOMORROW> IN SEOUL’, which captivated MOA worldwide with its stylish direction and commanding live vocals; and ‘ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR ‘BLOOD SAGA’ IN SEOUL’, distilling ENHYPEN’s unique vampire concept and narrative.

BTS’ ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’’ will also be available in real time in theaters. The October 24 performance in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the October 30 performance in Sao Paulo, Brazil, will each be screened as Live Viewing events, so fans worldwide can share in the heat of the concert through theaters’ large screens and immersive sound.

A new addition, the participatory ‘HYBE CHEERING PARTY’, invites audiences to complete the content themselves. It is composed of music videos and performance footage from 13 HYBE MUSIC GROUP artist teams, including BTS, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN, LE SSERAFIM, &TEAM, BOYNEXTDOOR, TWS, ILLIT, KATSEYE, aoen, Kortis, and SANTOS BRAVOS. To help audiences sing along to Korean lyrics, subtitles provide English romanization, and each song’s fanchant guide unfolds in 3D. Viewers sing in sync with the screen and shout the chants, turning the theater into one massive cheering site.

Fans can also enjoy ‘HYBE CINE FEST’ outside the auditoriums. More than 10 major theaters worldwide will operate as ‘Special Locations’, and depending on the venue, there will be photo zones and Photoism booths, a ‘message wall’ featuring artists’ messages, and a ‘light stick DIY zone’ where fans can customize their own light sticks.

Among these, more than five theaters worldwide, including Lotte Cinema World Tower in Seoul, will operate as ‘Special Location Plus’ with added ‘Merch Zones’ and ‘Gacha Zones’. In the Merch Zone, visitors can purchase official ‘HYBE CINE FEST 2026’ merchandise such as ‘custom T-shirts’ that can be decorated with patches of favorite artists, PVC bags, and carabiners. In the Gacha Zone, they can find ‘DIGITAL CODE re:CAP’, a capsule toy containing high-definition performance clips of the artists.

In addition, in Los Angeles, USA, and Paris, France, the ‘HYBE CINE FEST STORE’(HYBE CINE FEST STORE) will open to sell official merchandise and DIGITAL CODE re:CAP.

A HYBE representative said, “We sought to expand the experiences that fans in Latin America and Asia created by gathering in theaters to enjoy content together to a global scale this year,” adding, “By extending the theater experience beyond viewing to include cheering, hands-on activities, and交流, we will develop this into a global fan event where fans around the world can enjoy artists and content in even more diverse ways.”
