  • Unveiling BTS’ Legacy: A Glimpse into ‘BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star’

    “BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star“ has arrived on Disney+, offering an unprecedented look into the remarkable ten-year journey of BTS. From their humble beginnings to becoming global superstars, this docuseries promises to deliver an intimate, raw, and honest portrayal of the septet’s rise to fame.

    Here are some things ARMY can’t wait to see in BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star.

    Why ARMY Can’t Wait: Top 7 Moments to Anticipate

    1. Behind-the-Scenes Dance Practices:
    Witness BTS in their element with extensive practice footage, potentially including rare pre-debut clips.  With a decade in the industry, BTS naturally have tons of footage hidden in their vault. Based on the teasers released for BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star, we’re definitely getting more practice videos — maybe even some pre-debut content!

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 1

    2. Cherished Graduations:
    Get a glimpse into the members’ graduation ceremonies, with special focus on RM, and possibly others. Most ARMYs are familiar with Jung Kook’s graduation ceremony Bangtan Bomb where all the members of BTS were present. 

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 2 1
    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 3 1

    3. Early Showcases:
    Relive BTS’ roots through clips from their early, more intimate performances. Before BTS sold out huge stadiums and flew to different countries worldwide, the members used to perform at small shows and meet a handful of fans. Often, they had to catch quick naps in a tiny car while hopping from event to event around South Korea. Thanks to BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star, ARMY will get to see more clips from those simple days.

    4. Life in the Old Dorm:
    Explore BTS’ shared experiences in their first dorm, with exclusive footage offering a peek into their early days. In their early years, all 7 members of BTS shared one tiny room measuring 17 tsubo or pyeong (which is merely around 56 square meters). It’s all too familiar and nostalgic for ARMY — it’s where BTS celebrated their 1st debut anniversary. There aren’t a lot of videos from that era, but it seems they’ll be releasing never-before-seen footage based on a trailer clip of RM and V playing with a game console at their old dorm

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 5

    5. The Stories Behind Selfies:
    Delve into the anecdotes behind iconic BTS selfies, including a special feature on a viral selfie by Jimin. BTS members love sharing group photos and selfies with their fans, as proven by the overabundance of content on their social media accounts. As a way to connect with ARMY, BTS often tell the story behind the photos they upload. This time, fans might get actual footage from behind the scenes of some photos! In one scene from the trailer, Jimin explains to the camera how he ended up taking a viral selfie he posted in 2013.

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 6 1

    6. Exclusive 2013 Fan Meeting:
    Anticipate potentially unseen footage from a unique fan meeting held in 2013, a much-awaited treat for fans. BTS held a small fan meeting for a joint celebration of Christmas and the birthdays of Jin and V. Fans couldn’t bring cameras to the event, but BigHit did film the event, yet footage remains elusive. While the trailers released so far didn’t show a hint of this event, many ARMYs (including us!) are hoping HYBE and BigHit will finally show the world actual clips from this event.

    7. Lockdown Reflections:
    Experience the emotional struggles and triumphs of BTS during the COVID-19 lockdown, a period that challenged but also showcased their resilience. To the rest of the world, BTS provided a much-needed light and life during the COVID-19 pandemic with their inspiring and upbeat songs “Dynamite”, “Life Goes On”, “Butter”, and “Permission to Dance”. But ARMYs would know how difficult that time was for the members due to the cancellation of the “Map of the Soul Tour” and the difficulty of performing in front of their fans, especially at the height of their careers. The footage from that era might make fans cry, but ARMY will surely tune in even with tears blurring their vision.

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 7

    A Must-Watch for Every ARMY

    Catch this stirring docuseries on Disney+ and embark on a journey with BTS, experiencing their growth, challenges, and triumphs. “BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star” is more than a series; it’s a celebration of an era, a testament to BTS’ enduring legacy, and a heartfelt tribute to the unwavering support of the ARMY.
