As he prepares to direct Saturday’s live Netflix event “BTS The Comeback Live: Arirang,” Done+Dusted partner and director/exec producer Hamish Hamilton is coming off what they’re internally calling the “quadruple crown.” In just the past few weeks, Hamilton directed the Grammys, the Super Bowl halftime show, the Oscars and now this.

“This,” of course, is an hour-long event set to take place Saturday evening local time marking the return of pop superstars BTS as they embark on a global tour to celebrate their return after a lengthy hiatus, and their first studio album in six years.

“It’s absolutely enormous,” said Hamilton, who flew into Seoul just hours after Conan O’Brien said his good nights on the Oscars. “Getting off the plane, people were talking about it. The excitement here is palpable as you walk around the streets. It’s such a massive occasion.”

Added Done+Dusted partner and executive producer Guy Carrington, who also spoke to Variety from Seoul: “I’ve been here maybe 10 days now, and you can see it build. As the stages start to go up, people are starting to congregate, they’re taking photos, and trying to work out what the stage is going to be used for — like where the band’s going to come from, and everywhere they might go. The whole city is now focusing on this event, there’s a vibe, there’s a real electricity around the city for this.”
