Trafalgar Releasing and HYBE are expanding HYBE Cine Fest into a global event for the first time, bringing the week-long cinema festival to more than 60 territories from Oct. 24-31.
The festival previously launched in
Latin America in 2024 and expanded across Asia in 2025. This year’s lineup includes six presentations: two live broadcasts of the BTS World Tour “Arirang,” concert films from Seventeen, Tomorrow X Together and Enhypen, and the interactive “HYBE Cheering Party” in 3D.
The BTS broadcasts will stream from Buenos Aires, marking the group’s first performance in Argentina, on Oct. 24 in the Americas and Oct. 25 in the rest of the world. A second BTS broadcast from São Paulo, the finale of the group’s Latin American tour, will screen Oct. 30 in the Americas and Oct. 31 elsewhere.
Seventeen’s film captures the group’s “New” world tour, while Tomorrow X Together’s entry documents “Act : Tomorrow,” its fourth global tour. Enhypen’s film revisits the Seoul concert that opened the “Blood Saga” tour.
The “HYBE Cheering Party” screening lets audiences sing along to on-screen lyrics and wave light sticks to music videos from artists including BTS, Seventeen, Tomorrow X Together, Enhypen, Le Sserafim, &Team, Boynextdoor, TWS, Illit, Katseye, aoen, Cortis and Santos Bravos. Tickets go on sale Sept. 30.
“Following the incredible response to HYBE Cine Fest across Latin America and Asia, we are scaling this festival format to global cinema audiences,” said Marc Allenby, chief executive officer of Trafalgar Releasing. “Bringing together major concert films, interactive 3D cheering parties, and landmark live broadcasts across a single week gives fans everywhere an unprecedented way to celebrate their favorite HYBE artists together in cinemas.”
The festival’s Special Location program, which offers interactive fan zones, merchandise and pop-up stores at select cinemas, is expanding into North America and Europe this year after previously running in Latin America and Asia.
Trafalgar Releasing operates in more than 15,000 cinemas across 132 countries and has distributed concert films for artists including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Metallica. HYBE’s roster spans labels including Bighit Music, Belift Lab, Source Music and Pledis Entertainment.
