LOS ANGELES, June 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- VenewLive, the global livestreaming platform today announced the overwhelming success of "BTS 2021 MUSTER SOWOOZOO," with 1.33M viewers tuning in from 195 countries/regions around the world.

The two-day concert was broadcasted from Seoul using Kiswe's "multi-view" livestreaming technology. The number of viewers even exceeded previous BTS online concerts including 'BANG BANG CON The Live,' which set a new Guinness Book of World Record for most viewers for a music concert live stream, and 'MAP OF THE SOUL ON:E,' which amassed 993,000 viewers from 191 countries/regions.

For VenewLive, the concert further showcased the platform's ability to seamlessly support unprecedented viewership numbers, as well as highlighted fans' continued appetite for online livestreamed concerts. The ever-growing audience numbers are a signal that livestreaming is here to stay - as an alternate revenue stream for artists and another way for consumers to enjoy performances and engage with their favorite entertainers.

During the two-day anniversary celebration the band serenaded fans with some of their most recent discography top hits. VenewLive provided BTS with new opportunities to take the artist and fan interaction to another level. The platform introduced a chat feature that allowed artists to send pinned messages directly to fans in chat rooms. The chat activity increased dramatically once BTS sent their messages, energizing fans who realized that BTS was in the chat as well.

VenewLive's CEO John Lee said, "We were thrilled to be given the opportunity to showcase BTS' amazing talent - and even more thrilled with the show's overwhelming success and turnout. Once again, VenewLive proved it is the ultimate platform for delivering the world's best virtual concert experiences. Each BTS concert has pushed the envelope further in terms of what technology and talent can do to elevate the fan experience and this concert was no different."
