BTS announce upcoming Disney Plus documentaries with ‘candid stories that have never been told’

BTS might be on a hiatus, but fear not fans, you’ll still be able to see them on your screens.

The immensely popular band, featuring seven members – Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook – have announced Disney docuseries which will premiere next year.

BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star will showcase ‘the daily lives, thoughts and plans’ of the group’s members ‘as they prepare for their second chapter,’ following the news earlier this year that the band were taking a break to focus on solo projects.

The collaboration between Disney and BTS was teased earlier this year, along with two other titles, the 4K concert film BTS: Permission To Dance On Stage – LA and reality show In the Soop: Friendcation which stars BTS member V alongside Parasite movie actor Woo-shik Choi and rapper Peakboy.

Sharing the exciting news, Disney announced today: ‘It’s time for the second chapter.

‘Chart the incredible journey of pop icons BTS in the new docu-series BTS MONUMENTS: BEYOND THE STAR, an exclusive #DisneyPlusSG series coming soon.’

‘We are here for you with a very special invitation,’ the members of BTS told the camera.

‘A new documentary series that contains stories of our growth and of our music from our debut to today.’

They added: ‘We invite you all to the stories of our Blood, Sweat and Tears,’ in a nod to their big hit.

‘It shares candid stories that have never been told, so please look forward to it.

‘I hope you find new sides to us that are previously seen.’

As if that wasn’t enough, Disney also announced on social media that J-Hope would be starring in a behind-the-scenes upcoming documentary, featuring never-before-seen interviews.

The projects come after the K-pop superstars, who took the Grammy Awards by storm in April, revealed that they are taking their first break apart in nine years together to focus on solo projects.

‘We promise we will return someday,’ the band vowed.

Reflecting on their desire to grow individually, RM said in the clip announcing the hiatus: ‘I always thought that BTS was different from other groups, but the problem with K-pop and the whole idol system is that they don’t give you time to mature.

‘You have to keep producing music and keep doing something.’

The group also shared it had been a difficult decision to make to take a break as they felt like they were letting down their fans.

‘We can’t help but think of our fans no matter what, we want to be the kind of artists that are remembered by our fans. I think now we’re starting to think about what kind of artists we each want to be remembered by our fans,’ explained Jimin.

‘I think that’s why we’re going through a rough patch right now, we’re trying to find our identity and that’s an exhausting and long process.’

BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star will launch on Disney Plus in 2023.
