K-pop is officially taking over the movie theater. HYBE Cine Fest 2026 is expanding worldwide for the first time, running October 24th through the 31st in more than 60 territories, and the lineup is stacked. The biggest draw: two BTS live broadcasts from Buenos Aires and São Paulo airing in cinemas. The Buenos Aires show is especially historic, marking BTS’s first-ever performance in Argentina.
Beyond BTS, the weeklong festival includes concert films from Seventeen, Tomorrow X Together, and Enhypen, so there’s something for nearly every fandom. There’s also a 3D HYBE Cheering Party featuring music videos from acts like Le Sserafim, Katseye, and BoyNextDoor, designed to feel like a live concert with fans cheering together in the same room.
HYBE Cine Fest first launched in Latin America in 2024 and expanded to Asia in 2025. Now, with Trafalgar Releasing on board, the festival format is scaling to global audiences. Tickets go on sale worldwide September 30th at 9 a.m. ET, so set an alarm and rally your concert crew. Which HYBE artist are you most excited to see on the big screen? Let us know in the comments.
