What's On Tonight (Saturday): Live from Korea, it's BTS night

BTS the Comeback Live: Arirang

I'ma light it up like dynamite! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, March 21!

Our Top Pick tonight is BTS the Comeback Live: Arirang (Netflix, 7 a.m.). This is the comeback for the K-pop boy group more than 5 years since their hiatus. The superstar group (aka Bangtan sonyeondan, aka Bangtan Boys, and have also gone well beyond general k-pop music) has a new album, Arirang, their 10th. While the concert airs early in the morning here in the U.S., it is a night concert in Seoul.

Elsewhere, 1874 calls the heart, Ari Shapiro has News, balls will go through baskets, and One Piece finds a clue.
