The past decade has been one incredible journey for BTS. The septet have sought out to do and achieve so much since day one, and lucky for ARMY , their 10+ year career is well documented. Whether you’re new in Boraland and curious to learn more or just looking for some nostalgic memories to relive, we’ve listed all the BTS documentaries and how you can watch every single one.

Burn The Stage: The Movie

Released in 2018, Burn The Stage: The Movie is the first movie from BTS, following the band behind the scenes of the BTS WINGS Tour as it uncovers the story of their rising success and international fame. Go back in time to 2017 to see the fresh-faced Bangtan Boys at the start of their world domination, blissfully unaware of what the future will hold for them. The nostalgia is real, and if you’re going to binge the documentaries, where better to begin than at the beginning?

Where to watch: Available on YouTube Premium

Bring The Soul: The Movie

Bring The Soul: The Movie takes place on a rooftop in Paris at the end of the Love Yourself World Tour in 2018 where the BTS members share a conversation, sharing stories of their experiences in new cities and performing to ARMY around the world. And, of course, what would a BTS documentary be without star-studded live performance clips from the tour?

Where to watch: Bring The Soul: The Movie is currently available on Netflix in some countries but not globally . Alternatively, it’s available on Weverse as a VOD

Bring The Soul: Docu-Series

The third in BTS documentaries is Bring The Soul: Docu-Series , which sees an up close and personal look at each of the members as they share their individual untold stories for the first time on camera for ARMY in a six-part series. The members get very candid as they share a more personal side, unveiling their fears, hopes, dreams, and concerns. We loved getting to know the members on a more in-depth level and learning about them as individuals.

Where to watch: Available on Weverse as a VOD

Break The Silence: The Docu-Series

2020 was a tough year, but BTS kept us occupied with tons of content, including another installment to the BTS documentaries. Break The Silence : The Docu-Series is a seven-episode series that follows the 351-day journey from the LOVE YOURSELF Tour to the LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF Tour . We get a close look at the memorable moments between BTS and ARMY as the members embark on their first stadium world tour. We also get more candid tales from the members, discussing their tight-knit relationships and what keeps their strong bond with each other both professionally and personally.

Break The Silence: The Movie PERSONA

Shortly after the docu-series, Break The Silence: The Movie PERSONA was released in cinemas. As the LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF tour comes to an end, Break The Silence: The Movie PERSONA reminisces on memories of the tour with stops in major cities all across the globe. We also get to see how each member separates themselves personally from their stage personas, giving us a look at the more vulnerable and emotional side of each of them.

j-hope IN THE BOX

As the first member to officially go solo amidst the BTS hiatus until 2025, j-hope was naturally the first member to drop his own solo documentary. j-hope IN THE BOX gives us a behind-the-scenes look leading up to his debut solo album, Jack In The Box that dropped in 2022, while also giving us a backstage pass to the production of his incredible headline performance at Lollapalooza .

Where to watch: Available on Disney+

SUGA: Road to D-DAY

Hot on the heels of his debut studio album, D-DAY , SUGA released his documentary, SUGA: Road to D-DAY . The documentary follows SUGA as he searches the world for inspiration for his upcoming record. We get to see a more intimate side of the rapper and producer as well as a closer look at how he works behind the studio door. We’re also treated to special live performances from tracks off of D-DAY .

Jimin’s Production Diary

Jimin’s Production Diary is a raw documentation of the production of Jimin ‘s debut solo album, FACE , which dropped in Spring 2023. The documentary covers the entire process from the early beginnings, Jimin’s continuous grind and need for perfection, right up to the album’s release and final thoughts. We get to see what Jimin is like on the production side of album making and what inspired different elements of the album.

Bts monuments: beyond the star.

BTS Monuments: Beyond The Stars is the latest Docu-Series that’s being released as part of BTS’s 10 year anniversary celebrations. The eight-episode series will reveal never-before-seen interviews and exclusive clips as we travel through the decade-long journey that brought us the BTS we know and love today. Starting from December 20th, two episodes will be released every Wednesday with key moments from over the years, including debut preparations, winning best new artist at the 2013 Melon Music Awards , the struggles faced during the Danger era, their American debut, and speaking at the UN.

We’ll also see some very personal moments such as their initial thoughts when first meeting one another, their initial contract renewal, the struggles of COVID’s isolation, as well as j-hope’s surprise birthday party and Jungkook’s high school graduation ceremony. This is said to be the most in-depth and revealing docu-series to date, and we can hardly wait!

Where to watch: two episodes will release every week on Disney+, starting December 20th

The docuseries is set to follow the K-pop boy band on their 2018 Love Yourself World Tour, which kicked off with back-to-back sold-out nights at Seoul’s Olympic Staudim, as well as their follow-up Love Yourself: Speak Yourself World Tour in 2019.

Both smash headlining runs supported the idols’ trio of Love Yourself releases, including their 2017 EP Love Yourself: Her , their 2018 studio album Love Yourself: Tear and the Love Yourself: Answer compilation album.

BTS Postpones Entire 'Map Of The Soul' World Tour

The new teaser comes on the heels of BTS postponing their entire Map of the Soul World Tour, the first leg of which was set to kick off April 25 in Santa Clara, Calif., due to concerns over the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic.

Break the Silence premieres May 12, exclusively on the band’s popular  WeVerse app , and is available for preorder now.

The best of BTS on Disney Plus

Share All sharing options for: The best of BTS on Disney Plus

At the start of their decade-long career, fans of Korean group BTS couldn’t just switch on a Western streaming service like Disney Plus and stream concerts or behind-the-scenes documentaries featuring their favorite musical artists. Not only did Disney Plus not exist in 2013, but the Bangtan Boys didn’t have the resources that allowed them easy industry exposure in Korea, let alone on the other side of the planet, in the world’s biggest music market. Back then, BTS was an underdog group coming out of Big Hit Entertainment, a small music company rather than one of Korea’s “Big Three” music corporations (JYP, SM, and YG) that got most of the mainstream exposure. Because of this, much of BTS’s early fan interaction — especially internationally — came via their own YouTube channel , where they connected with fans via vlogs even before their official “debut” as a group.

Today, BTS is the biggest band in the world — even as they take a break from group activities to focus on solo music and complete their mandatory military service . And their small music company, Big Hit Entertainment, has grown into a global media corporation called HYBE. They still release much of their content via YouTube (their global popularity also allowed HYBE to launch an entire web platform called Weverse ), but have made the occasional distribution deal with other platforms. The biggest of these deals is with Disney Plus, which launched at the end of 2019 and is currently available in 60 countries around the world.

Last July, HYBE announced a collaboration deal with Disney that would see “five major content titles” from the Korean music company get distribution on the global streaming platform. Less than a year later, Disney Plus has released four of the five planned BTS-centric titles. Whether you’re a BTS fan who has yet to dive fully into BTS’ story or simply a Disney Plus subscriber who is curious about the band that has taken over the world, here is a guide to what you can learn about the K-pop superstars on the streaming platform.

BTS: Permission to Dance on Stage — LA

Recommended for: Every BTS fan.

Since their debut, BTS has been known within the K-pop industry for their creative, energetic, and meticulously executed live performances. BTS Permission to Dance on Stage LA gives viewers at home a taste of the experience of seeing one of those performances in person. The concert movie, directed by Sam Wrench and Jun-Soo Park, was filmed at SoFi Stadium in late November 2022, at the group’s first in-person concert series in over two years.

The Permission to Dance on Stage tour, named after a 2021 track , would run for 11 nights across Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, Seoul’s Jamsil Olympic Stadium, and Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. With more than 200 songs in their discography, the band had many choices as to which tracks and stages would be featured in the show. Notably, for “PTD on Stage,” BTS prioritized songs that included all seven members rather than interspersing the setlist with solo tracks that would allow the other members to rest. The result is more than two hours of some of the world’s top performers tirelessly doing what they do best.

In the Soop: Friendcation

Recommended for: BTS fans looking for a chill afternoon, or who want to pretend they are on vacation in the Korean countryside.

In the Soop , which translates fully to “In the Forest,” is a reality series that sees the members of BTS escape to the Korean countryside to enjoy a period of rest and relaxation. (In 2021, it was the eighth most tweeted about show globally .) The original incarnation of the show gave us two seasons, released in 2020 and 2021 respectively, featuring all seven members. In the Soop: Friendcation is a spinoff that follows BTS member V as he goes on a bro-trip with four of his famous friends: actors Park Seo-joon (the upcoming MCU film The Marvels , Itaewon Class ), Choi Woo-shik ( Train to Busan, Parasite ), and Park Hyung-sik ( The Heirs ), as well as rapper Peakboy.

The famous friendship group formed during the production of 2016 K-drama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth , and even has its own name. The friends go by “Wooga Squad,” which is short for the phrase “Are we family?” in Korean. In Friendcation , they go on a four-day trip to Goseong, where they eat steamed buns, go fishing on the ocean, sing karaoke, and watch the latest episode of Choi’s Our Beloved Summer together. It’s the least plot-driven of the Disney Plus offerings, but that’s kind of the point. The four episodes are the perfect watch for a slow, rainy weekend.

J-Hope in the Box

Recommended for: BTS fans who are interested in what goes into creating a BTS-level performance.

At one point in J-Hope in the Box , BTS’ rapper and dancer J-Hope remarks to the camera that he devoted the entirety of his 20s to BTS. It’s not a comment made with regret or nostalgia. It simply is . When the members of BTS announced to the world they would be taking a break from group activities in order to rest, undertake mandatory military service, and pursue solo projects, it was framed as necessary for the long-term sustainability of the world’s biggest band. They wanted the chance to grow, experiment, and mature outside of the immediate context of BTS.

When Jack in the Box , J-Hope’s first solo album, released in July 2022, he did just that in brave and surprising ways. He continues to do it with J-Hope in the Box , which allows the artist to be the sole main character in the film’s story to a degree that wasn’t really possible during BTS’ first chapter. (It’s fascinating to see the other members appear as supporting characters — as J-Hope’s dear friends and his oldest work colleagues — in J-Hope’s story.) This 85-minute film gives a rare depth of access into J-Hope’s work process and family life; explores the immense preparation that went into preparing for Jack in the Box and Lollapalooza; and successfully recreates the energy of being at his historic headlining performance in Chicago.

SUGA: Road to D-Day

Recommended for: BTS fans who are curious about what goes into BTS’ music-writing process.

If you’ve paid attention to the “hiatus” work of BTS member Suga, then you may have noticed how much of it is about searching for advice on how to sustain a career as an artist across a lifetime. It has been 10 years since the 30-year-old musician, producer, and performer debuted in BTS and, as he looks beyond his upcoming solo world tour and his subsequent mandatory military service, he seemingly has every intention of dedicating his life to making music.

In Road to D-Day — a feature-length documentary about the writing of Suga’s most recent album, D-Day — we get a peek into why the rapper and producer does what he does, how he struggles with it, and who he is inspired by. In one of the doc’s most moving scenes, Suga travels to Japan to meet one of his musical heroes: Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Oscar-winning Japanese composer who passed away in April. (The two collaborated on a track called “Snooze” for D-Day .) While the entire documentary is fascinating, I won’t be forgetting about this moment — which sees two generations of world-changing musicians meet and appreciate music together — anytime soon.

BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star (Upcoming)

Recommended for: BTS fans who want to relive the story of the group’s rise to global superstardom.

Not yet released, BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star is a docu-series that will tell the story of BTS, with “unprecedented access to a vast library of music and footage over the past nine years.” While BTS’ story has been chronicled in many places , there has yet to be an official attempt from Big Hit Entertainment/HYBE to create a docu-series that tells the story of their career. This could be it. With BTS set to turn 10 in June 2023, this summer would be a perfect time to start releasing this chronicle of their story so far…

The BTS Documentaries That Made Me A Fan For Life

The best way to get to know — and become obsessed with — BTS is through their docuseries and films. Words by Jenna Guillaume

BTS is one of the biggest music acts in the world right now.

Yes, they are on a break from group activities. The seven members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook — continue to release individual work to record-breaking results, but they plan to come back as a group in 2025, after they’ve all completed South Korea’s compulsory military enlistment.

Despite this, the question that seems to constantly surround BTS is: why them? What makes BTS so popular? What is it about these seven guys from Korea that has literally tens of millions of people in a chokehold and devout members of their fandom, which is appropriately named ARMY? As a member of said ARMY, I can say that the answer is simple: because they’re BTS. But it’s also complicated: there are many, many layers to being BTS. For new fans or the purely curious, a good place to start is BTS’ documentaries, which provide insight and a behind-the-curtains perspective on the performers and their art.

Years of the group’s existence have been documented and packaged into films and TV series, so if you want to get to know them or understand what makes them so popular and enduring, there are many, many hours of footage which showcase just that. My own fan journey started exactly four years ago with the release of “Boy with Luv”, a bright, boppy pop song with Barbiecore aesthetics and fun choreography featuring Halsey. It felt exactly calibrated to my interests and sensibilities, and I immediately became obsessed.

Still, I might have remained a casual listener if not for the vast array of video content that was recommended to me after watching the “Boy with Luv” music video 37 times in a row. And while BTS’s variety show Run BTS made me laugh and endeared the members to me, it was in through documentaries that I got to know the group better. I saw their joy in performing, their love for fans, and their difficult moments. Most of all, I saw their emotional intelligence and their openness and vulnerability.

Perhaps it shouldn’t have, but it felt like a tiny revelation to see grown men so eloquently and willingly displaying and discussing their feelings, providing an all-too-rare antidote to the toxic masculinity present in so much popular culture.

Ahead of the release of the latest doco in the BTS Cinematic Universe — Suga: Road to D-Day , which focuses on the creation of rapper Suga’s solo album and premieres April 21 — here’s a look at their documentaries so far, and what they reveal about the supergroup…

‘Burn the Stage’

Burn the Stage comes in two forms: movie and series, and while each differs slightly in content, if you only have the time for one, the docuseries is the way to go. Over eight episodes, it takes viewers behind the scenes of BTS’s life in 2017 — the year of their Wings worldwide arena tour, the year they began to break through in America, and the year that, according to the members, was one of the most difficult for them and which led them to consider breaking up.

While we don’t get to see all the ins and outs of that painful point, the docuseries does give a sense of why it might have happened with a warts-and-all look at the brutalities of performing and the pressure of enormous success. But what the series highlights most of all is what helped the group get through it all — how they stayed together, and why they went on to even more dazzling heights.

The interviews with the members showcase their individual attitudes and personalities, but what’s really special are the moments that highlight how well they work together as a group. In fact, one of the most memorable scenes is a moment when everything is not going well — two members, Jin and V, have an argument about some choreography before going on stage — but the way all seven members of the group get together afterwards to discuss and resolve the issue demonstrates a healthy and mature approach that speaks volumes about their dynamic.

If I had to name one specific moment that made me an ARMY to my core, it would be Jin telling V, “you see the bright and funny side of me, but I also get depressed very often”.

‘Bring the Soul’

While Burn the Stage showcases a band on the verge, Bring the Soul explores what it’s like for this group of young guys to embark on the Love Yourself tour in 2018, which included their first ever stadium concert. Again coming in both docuseries and movie form, Bring the Soul also covers the pressures and challenges of touring, but really hones in on the exhilaration of it all. It’s more joyful than Burn the Stage , without glossing over the difficulties.

Indeed, if Burn the Stage examines the “how” of BTS, then Bring the Soul delves into the “why” — what drives them, and why they work so hard to push through enormous physical and emotional pain. What emerges is a clear picture of their passion for the stage, their dedication to improving themselves, their connection to one other, and their devotion to their fans. The part that perhaps best exemplifies this is when Jungkook, the youngest member who was 21 at the time, injures himself while rehearsing and is unable to perform choreography for several shows. The toll this takes on both him and the group in general, and the way they overcome it, makes it clear just how much the group, the stage, and the fans mean to them. It’s heart-wrenching viewing that certainly made me as a fan appreciate them even more.

While the docuseries version of Bring the Soul goes more into depth, the movie is definitely worth a watch — it’s beautifully put together, with clever editing. The tour footage and individual interviews are intercut with scenes from a group dinner in France. It’s a warm, funny and moving conversation that provides insight into their dynamic.

‘Break the Silence’

Break the Silence , another docuseries-movie combo, makes for somewhat bittersweet viewing. Filmed primarily in 2019 — but released in 2020 — the documentary follows BTS as they prepare for and embark on their first ever full stadium tour, Love Yourself: Speak Yourself, as well as the release of their album Map of the Soul: Persona (which features the “Boy with Luv” track that captured my own heart and soul). Here, the group are bigger than they’ve ever been before — wondering if they’ve reached their peak (of course, they went on to become even bigger over the following years) — and reckoning with their past, present, and most of all, their future.

What makes it extra emotional is the fact that the tour was obviously important and significant for the members at the time, but became even moreso in hindsight — when their subsequent tour, Map of the Soul, was cancelled because of the pandemic (as someone who skipped the last Love Yourself: Speak Yourself shows in order to save for the upcoming Map of the Soul tour, this footage cuts DEEP). Indeed, four years later, Love Yourself: Speak Yourself remains the last full tour all seven members have done together. They did perform brief concert stints in Korea and America in 2022, but we’ll have to wait for 2025 for the full experience. (Excuse me while I go sob in the corner).

In terms of insight into the group and individual members, Break the Silence picks up the themes BTS were exploring in their music with Map of the Soul, and gives the members space to reckon with their persona in contrast with their private lives. They also speak of wanting to have a “gentle landing” and not a freefall in terms of their careers winding down, demonstrating their emotional growth and, once again, their bond with one another.

‘j-hope IN THE BOX’

After BTS announced they were taking a break from group activities (but not breaking up), rapper and dancer J-Hope became the first member to release an official solo album and feature in a solo documentary. j-hope IN THE BOX focuses on J-Hope’s journey as he creates his debut album Jack in the Box and prepares for its release as well as his headlining spot at Lollapalooza. The documentary goes deep into J-Hope’s sunshine persona. It shows his everyday life (including some very cute interactions with his family and dog) as well as his fierce professional self, from his arduous creative blocks to his commitment to choreography.

For BTS members, being one of seven has been the defining factor of their lives since 2010 and to step out alone for the first time would naturally be a daunting prospect for any of them. That J-Hope led the charge, and did so in a way that was completely (ahem) out of the box creatively and personally, highlights his bravery and strength. You finish the documentary with a deeper understanding of him as an individual, and a more nuanced appreciation for his importance within BTS as they move forward in their self-proclaimed “Chapter Two”. Like J-Hope proclaims in his first solo single, you can’t help but want “More”.

Upcoming Docos

Suga: Road to D-Day will be another solo documentary, exploring Suga’s attempts to find inspiration as a soloist by going on a road trip and connecting with artists he admires.

Later in the year, a new BTS documentary focussed on all seven members will also debut on Disney+. It’s called BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star and will cover the last nine years of BTS’s career – as well as their plans for the next chapter.

Everything We Know About Suga's Debut Solo Album, 'D-Day'

Continuing BTS' solo endeavors in the group's second chapter, Suga takes the wheel with the announcement of his debut studio album under his alias Agust D. Here's all the details we know about 'D-Day.'

It's almost hard to believe that it has already been almost 10 months since BTS rocked the world with the announcement of their hiatus. But that's mostly because the K-pop powerhouses haven't gone completely quiet — and now, it's Suga 's turn on the mic.

As BTS' label, Big Hit Music, announced on April 21, Suga will release his first solo album, D-Day , on April 21. The album will arrive just weeks after his BTS bandmate Jimin released his debut EP, and follows solo projects and performances from j-hope , Jung Kook , Jin and RM . 

Although D-Day marks the first studio album from Suga, his solo discography sees two mixtapes, a feature on MAX's 2020 hit "Blueberry Eyes," and an interlude of Halsey 's double-platinum album Manic . Suga has shown his solo chops within BTS, too, taking lead on "Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life," "First Love," "Trivia: Seesaw," and "Interlude: Shadow."

Fans will get a first taste of what Suga is cooking up with his first studio LP with "People Pt. 2" on April 7. As fans get ready for the latest BTS solo venture, GRAMMY.com has compiled a list of everything we know about Suga's album D-Day .

D-DAY 2023. 4. 21. 1PM (KST) | 0AM (ET) #SUGA #슈가 #AgustD #D_DAY pic.twitter.com/ZRzcfsziad — BIGHIT MUSIC (@BIGHIT_MUSIC) April 2, 2023

D-Day Arrives April 21

Big Hit Music revealed on April 2 that Suga's debut studio album will be released on April 21. In an announcement post on BTS' Weverse page, D-Day was described as "an intimate portrayal of his life as an artist."

Agust D Makes A Comeback

Working on endeavors outside BTS, Suga commonly uses the alias "Agust D," which was used for his self-titled debut and second mixtape, D-2 . The moniker is an homage to Suga's stage name and his hometown of Daegu, South Korea — also known as "D-Town." Spelled backward, Agust D becomes "D-T Suga." 

Unfortunately for fans of Suga's alter ego, D-Day will be the closing chapter of the rapper's trilogy as Agust D, as Big Hit declared in the Weverse album announcement.

Suga Took Part In Both Songwriting And Producing

Suga has long been one of the masterminds behind BTS' record-breaking songs, first songwriting and producing on the group's first studio album, Dark & Wild . In 2017, Suga expanded his skills outside of BTS, working with Korean vocalist Suran on her track "Wine." In the years since, he has co-written and produced tracks with Juice WRLD, and Psy, as well as his interlude with Halsey and the BTS collab with Coldplay , "My Universe."

With such extensive and impressive credits under his belt, it was no surprise when Big Hit confirmed Suga participated in the songwriting and producing for D-Day .

Though the full tracklist for D-Day has yet to surface, Big Hit has revealed the first song from Suga's debut is "People Pt. 2" featuring K-pop superstar IU. The track is the second collaboration between the pair, who initially worked together in 2020 on IU's single, "Eight."

"People Pt. 2," out April 7, is a continuation of Suga's "People" from his 2020 mixtape, D-2 , that discusses the "endless relationships between people and the emotions felt in an Agust D way."

Suga Will Premiere The Music On A Solo Tour

Following the release of D-Day , Suga will embark on an international solo tour beginning April 26 in Belmont Park, New York, credited as both Suga and Agust D. Beyond the United States, Suga will also hit Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, and Korea.

The tour marks a first within BTS: Though bandmates j-hope, Jung Kook, and Jin performed at Lollapalooza, FIFA World Cup Qatar, and Coldplay's Music of Spheres stop in Argentina, respectively, Suga is the first BTS member to complete a headlining solo tour.

Disney+ Has Plans To Release A Documentary On Suga's Musical Journey

The day before "People Pt. 2" arrived, Disney+ dropped a trailer for a documentary special, SUGA: Road to D-Day , which will hit the streaming platform the same day the album is released. 

According to a press statement, the documentary follows Suga's musical journey across Korea, Japan, and the United States "in search of inspiration in the form of new sounds and experiences." The film also offers a behind-the-scenes look at Suga's lifestyle as a global phenom on tour as a member of one of the most successful musical groups in history.

D-Day Is Available For Pre-Order Now

If you want to be among the first to hear D-Day on April 21, you can pre-order the album now on the BTS Weverse Shop.

Customers who pre-order the album before April 20 will receive one of the special gifts listed on the Weverse website and will be entered into a raffle for an autographed poster or a video call with Suga.

J-Hope's Road To 'Hope On The Street Vol.1,' From Falling Back In Love With Dance To Tying Together His Global Influences

After 11 years in BTS, j-hope revisits the passion that started it all: dancing. Ahead of his new docuseries and special album, 'Hope on the Street Vol.1,' discover the full-circle journey that brought him back to his roots.

"Just dance," j-hope commands on his 2018 BTS solo track.

For the international sensation, that's what it's always been about: expressing himself through movement. Now, 11 years after the launch of the seven-piece group, j-hope takes a U-turn to where it all began, before his K-pop idol days, street dancing between his hometown, Gwangju, and Seoul, South Korea.

Out March 29, j-hope's new special album, Hope on the Street Vol.1 , is a musical ode to dancing that boasts a "vibrant collection of six tracks spanning a diverse array of sounds and moods that showcase j-hope's musical prowess and depth." Like j-hope's global perspective of dance, the EP expands borders and sounds, featuring appearances from HYBE labelmate HUH YUNJIN of LE SSERAFIM as well as American stars Nile Rodgers and Benny Blanco .

The mini-album will also be accompanied by a docuseries of the same name, premiering on Amazon Prime Video on March 28. According to a press statement, the six-part project will "highlight j-hope's story and love for dancing as he begins a new journey."

Ahead of Hope on the Street Vol.1 's arrival, take a look at how j-hope's origins inspired the project — from his enrollment in a local dance academy to songwriting with J. Cole on their 2023 single, "on the street."

Finding Purpose In Dance

Long before becoming a global superstar, j-hope (born Jung Ho-seok) first discovered his love for dancing on the playground.

"The school I went to had a dance lesson for 30 minutes in the morning. They would play a dance video, and we would copy it as exercise," j-hope recalled in a 2013 interview for the BTS Japan Fanclub magazine. "My friends around me would praise me, saying, 'You're really good!'"

Eventually, those recess workouts turned into a passion. J-hope began practicing moves at home and freestyling at local talent shows. By the sixth grade, he told his parents he was serious about it, enrolling him in Gwangju's Joy Dance Academy.

While at the Academy, j-hope also joined the underground dance crew, NEURON, building a reputation under the name "Smile Hoya." Though he hasn't participated in the troupe since his pre-BTS days, he still recognizes it as one of the most influential parts of his career.

He'll even honor the crew with Hope on the Street , which includes a track called "NEURON," featuring Gaeko and yoonmirae . He will also return to Gwangju in the closing chapter of the docuseries.

It's not the first time j-hope shouted out Gwangju, either. His 2019 collab with Becky G, "Chicken Noodle Soup," paid tribute to his beloved upbringing: "From Gwangju, one gang of you-know-what/ Geumnam Chungjang Street, that's my Harlem." (The same track also foreshadowed his latest release: "Hope on the street, now it's my own way.")

Forging A New Life In Music With BTS

J-hope continued to have a diligent mindset as a trainee at Big Hit Entertainment. But as revealed in BTS' 2018 docuseries, Burn the Stage , training and dieting became emotionally and physically tolling. At one point, j-hope even considered leaving the group.

"I couldn't do things I wanted to do," he revealed during a 2021 You Quiz on the Block segment . "To be honest, I wanted to play games. I want to go out and hang out. I wanted to stay with my family. I had to give up a lot of things from that perspective."

The stress became so intense that he bought a one-way ticket to Gwangju. But ultimately, the brotherhood and love of music he formed with BTS gave him the courage to return: "I came back because I trusted you," j-hope recounted.

And they trusted him, too: "I told [Big Hit] that we needed Jung Ho-seok. We couldn't debut without him," RM responded. Meanwhile, Jung Kook delivered a tearful speech to encourage him to stay with the band.

The longer he stayed, the more j-hope began to love other sides of music, like producing and songwriting. Now, he has become one of the main writers for the group's tracks, alongside RM and Suga , and has co-penned all of his solo projects, including Hope on the Street .

Spreading His Wings With Two Full-Length Solo Projects

After nearly 10 projects with BTS, j-hope delivered his debut mixtape, Hope World , in March 2018.

"My fantasy had always been making a music video and performing with the music I had created. I wanted to put my own story to music and share it with the world," he told Time magazine upon Hope World ’s release.

It's an introduction to j-hope the artist, inviting listeners to step into Hope World , a colorful kaleidoscope of different cultures and styles — something that has also been a key part of his dance journey.

Though, j-hope still wanted to dig deeper into his artistry. He developed his sound, becoming more vulnerable in his lyricism on tracks like 2020's "Outro: Ego." By 2022, he was ready to drop his first studio album, Jack in the Box .

Where Hope World showcases j-hope's dance performance, Jack in the Box highlights "my artistry in music ." But Hope on the Street paints the full image of the phenom — part musician, part dancer.

Laying The Groundwork With "On The Street," Featuring J. Cole

One of j-hope's earliest musical influences was J. Cole. The rapper inspired j-hope's stage name and the title of his mixtape, which pays homage to 2011's Cole World . In 2022, j-hope honored Cole with "Born Singer," the BTS re-write of Cole's "Born Sinner." So, a celebratory meeting was in order when they were both scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza (where j-hope made history as the first Korean soloist to headline).

"[He's] my idol," j-hope said to Variety in 2023. Since they met, he "couldn't stop thinking about how great it would be if we could make music together." He reached out to J. Cole, and "on the street" was born.

As j-hope told Variety , the "street" concept became a metaphor for life: "The street is a place where people can actually encounter and feel real lives of people: a child's innocent mind; first encounter with someone and falling in love; someone in an urgent moment;" and so much more. It's the place where he learned to love dance — and where he grew a love for music and artists like J. Cole, who called their collab "a blessing" in the behind-the-scenes footage .

And thus, "on the street" became the springboard for his forthcoming project, Hope on the Street .

Unveiling A Docuseries And A Multi-Part Project

By the tail end of 2023, each member of BTS had enlisted in mandatory military service. But even during the septet's hiatus, j-hope managed to serve up a surprise announcement of Hope on the Street on Feb. 17 with a fitting montage of dance videos.

The joint docuseries and album follows j-hope's journey of self-discovery, accompanying his former instructor, Boogaloo Kin, as they dance their way through the streets of Osaka, Seoul, Paris, New York, and his hometown while meeting other dancers.

" Hope on the Street , my roots, the most important part of my life. This is how j-hope danced. I wanted to share this story with you," he said in an interview for the documentary .

After years of breaking records and making history as a member of BTS, it was "a chance to look back on my life," he explained in another trailer . "I realized the answer was in song and dance."

Culminating j-hope's skills in both art forms, Hope on the Street is a love letter to everything that's made him who he is today — and proof he'll never forget it.

6 Takeaways From 'BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star'

9 Essential K-Pop/Western Collabs: From BTS And Megan Thee Stallion, To IVE And Saweetie

From Jungkook and Usher's tribute to their shared musical idol, to BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez' sugary sweet collab, K-pop and Western artists of all genres are joining forces to create killer hits.

It’s impossible to ignore the growing global popularity of K-pop. Although Korean pop has been around for decades, the genre's meteoric worldwide success over the past 10 years is reminiscent of Beatlemania and the early 2000s American boy band craze. With a steady increase year-over-year in album sales and K-pop groups touring the U.S. and Europe, interest in K-pop shows no signs of slowing down .

Initially launched in South Korea as a music subgenre with Western pop, R&B and hip-hop influences in the '90s, the K-pop industry is valued at around $10 billion .

Given the worldwide appetite for K-pop, several Western musicians are keen to partner with K-pop acts crossing over into more international markets, often with songs sung partially or entirely in English. While K-pop artists do not need Western artists to be successful — BTS sold out London’s Wembley stadium in under 90 minutes back in 2019, and BLACKPINK made Coachella history twice with performances in 2019 and 2023 — K-pop's massive fanbase and multi-genre influence make it an ideal collaboration for everyone from rappers and singers to electronic DJs.

But don’t take our word for it. Here are nine of the most iconic K-Pop/Western collaborations (not in any order; they are all great songs!).

Usher and Jungkook - "Standing Next to You (Usher Remix)" (2024)

The maknae (the youngest member of the group) of global K-pop superstars BTS and the King of R&B are both having banner years: Jungkook released his debut solo album, and Usher just performed at the Super Bowl . 

The Bangtan Boys have cited Usher as a significant influence (even singing a callback to his 2001 hit "U Got It Bad" in their No. 1 song, "Butter"), so BTS fans were delighted when the Jungkook tapped Usher for a remix of "Standing Next to You." The song marks the fourth single from his Billboard 200 chart-topping debut album, Golden . 

Both singers count Michael Jackson as a major influence. In their collaboration video, Usher and Jungkook pay tribute to the King of Pop as they slide, pop, and lock across the slick floor of an abandoned warehouse. 

John Legend and Wendy of Red Velvet - "Written in the Stars" (2018)

R&B singer/pianist John Legend was the perfect choice for an R&B ballad with Wendy, the main vocalist of K-pop quintet Red Velvet. The final song on the five-track SM Station x 0 , a digital music project, "Written in the Stars," is a beautiful, mid-tempo love song. A bit of a departure from K-pop’s typical upbeat sound, Wendy and Legend are in perfect harmony over a warm yet melancholic rhythm.

As Red Velvet’s main vocalist, Wendy was the ideal voice for this collaboration. Additionally, she split her childhood between Canada and the U.S., and has been comfortable singing in English since Red Velvet debuted in 2014. This wasn't her first collab with a Western artist: In 2017, she released an English-language version of the pop ballad " Vente Pa’Ca " with Ricky Martin . 

BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez - "Ice Cream" (2020)

A powerhouse debut single, BLACKPINK collaborated with pop royalty Selena Gomez on the massive 2020 hit "Ice Cream."

An electropop-bubblegum fusion filled with dairy double entendres, "Ice Cream" was an enormous success for both Gomez and the BLACKPINK girls. The track peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has racked up nearly 900 million YouTube views to date. 

Written by a consortium of hitmakers, including Ariana Grande and BLACKPINK’s longtime songwriter and producer Teddy Park (a former K-pop idol himself), "Ice Cream" shows that YG Entertainment’s golden foursome and Gomez were the correct partnership for this track. The pop-trap bop marked the first time a K-pop girl group broke the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and immediately solidified BLACKPINK as global superstars. 

Snoop Dogg and Monsta X - "How We Do" (2022)

West Coast rap godfather Snoop Dogg has quietly become one of the go-to Western acts for K-pop collabs, working with Psy, BTS, Girls’ Generation and 2NE1. K-pop is the Dogg Father's "guilty pleasure, " and he performed at the Mnet Asian Music Awards with Dr. Dre in 2011. Without Snoop's love of K-pop, the world might not have gotten this fun and energetic collaboration with Snoop and Monsta X, a five-member boy group under Starship Entertainment.

The song appears in The Spongebob Movie: Sponge On The Run in a dance segment where Snoop, decked out in a pink and purple Western suit, is accompanied by zombie dancers. Though we do not see the members of Monsta X, their harmonious crooning is the perfect accent to Snoop Dogg’s trademark casual West Coast flow.

BTS and Steven Aoki - "MIC Drop (Steve Aoki remix)" (2017)

No K-pop list is complete with a nod to the magnificent seven, and "MIC Drop" is one of their catchiest Western collabs to date. 

"Mic Drop" is quintessential BTS: a nod to hip-hop with a heavy bass line and fun choreography. While the original version of "MIC Drop" is excellent, the remix with EDM superstar DJ Steve Aoki and rapper Desiigner cracked the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 — the first of many hits for the Bulletproof Boy Scouts. 

Released at a time when BTS were just starting their ascent to chart-topping Western dominance, the track's boastful lyrics and tension-building electro-trap production offered an excellent introduction to the group that would soon become international superstars. 

JYJ, Kanye West and Malik Yusef - "Ayyy Girl" (2010)

A truly deep K-pop cut, you’d be hard-pressed to find many people who know that Kanye West collaborated with a first-generation K-pop group over 13 years ago. Released as the lead single on JYJ’s English-language album The Beginning , West’s signature bravado and wordplay are on full display over a track that sounds like the Neptunes produced it.

The song garnered attention in the U.S., but after a string of bad luck (including a severely delayed U.S. visa process and issues with their management company, SM Entertainment), JYJ could not capitalize on their American success. The group continued to see success in Korea and Japan in the early 2010s but never made a splash in the Western market again.

IVE and Saweetie - "All Night" (2024)

A reimagining of Icona Pop’s 2013 song of the same name, "All Night," sees fourth-generation K-pop girl group IVE partner with rap’s resident glamor girl Saweetie for a funky, electronic-infused pop song that’s perfect for dancing from dusk till dawn. 

"All Night" is the first English song for the Starship Entertainment-backed group. Interestingly, none of the members of IVE have individual lines in the song, choosing instead to sing the lyrics in a six-part harmony. This choice is exciting but fun, giving listeners the feeling that they are more than welcome to sing along. 

The girl group embarked on their first 24-date world tour in January 2024, with stops in the U.S., Asia, Europe and South America. Given their quest for global dominance, there’s a good chance "All Night" won’t be IVE's last English-language release.

BTS and Megan Thee Stallion - "Butter (Remix)" (2021)

BTS’ "Butter" had already spent three weeks atop the Billboard charts and was declared the "song of the summer" when the group’s label announced Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion as the guest star for the song’s remix in late August 2021. The GRAMMY-nominated septet is no stranger to collaborating with Western musicians, having worked with Halsey , Jason Derulo, and Coldplay . 

Though only slightly altered from the original (Megan’s verse was added in place of the song’s second original verse, along with several ad-libs), the remix was praised by both fans and critics alike, catapulting the song’s return back to the No. 1. Although the collaborators did not release a new music video featuring the group and the self-proclaimed "Hot Girl Coach," three members of BTS’ "dance line" (members J-Hope , Jungkook and Jimin ) released a specially choreographed dance video . Additionally, Megan was a surprise guest during BTS’ record-breaking Permission to Dance LA concert in November of the same year.

LE SSERAFIM and Niles Rodgers - "Unforgiven" (2023)

GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Nile Rodgers ' first foray into K-pop was a partnership with LE SSERAFIM , a fourth-gen girl group from the same parent company behind BTS. "Unforgiven" was released earlier this year as the lead single from the group’s debut album of the same name. 

A darker take on the familiar K-pop formula with A Western feel and look (the young quintuplet dons cowboy hats, boots and bolo ties in the song’s accompanying music video), "Unforgiven" is about rebellion and being a fierce, strong and independent risk taker. That riskiness drew Rodgers' ear. 

"It seems like a lot of the K-pop that I'm hearing lately, the…chord changes are a lot more interesting than what's been happening [in other music fields] over the last few years," he told GRAMMY.com in 2023. "I come from a jazz background, so to hear chord changes like that is really cool. They’re not afraid, which is great to me."

6 Takeaways From 'BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star'

In honor of BTS' 10th anniversary, Disney+ released 'BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star.' Two of the eight episode docuseries are available to stream; read on for a deeper look at the septet's history, accomplishments, and behind-the-scenes moments.

Today, it’s hard to avoid BTS . You might have heard their GRAMMY-nominated singles "Dynamite" and "Butter" playing at a random store. Maybe you learned about another record they broke in the news. Or, you probably know at least one person in their passionate, loyal fanbase, also known as Army.

But before there was BTS, the international sensation, there was Kim Seok-jin ( Jin ), Min Yoon-gi ( Suga ), Jung Ho-seok ( J-Hope ), Kim Nam-joon ( RM ), Park Ji-min ( Jimin ), Kim Tae-hyung ( V ), and Jeon Jung-kook ( Jung Kook ), seven hopefuls from across South Korea with one dream and thousands of hours of dedication to their craft.

A decade ago, it might have seemed impossible for a group like BTS to be at the top in their home country — let alone one of the biggest groups on the planet. In Korea, it was only likely to become successful if you had one of the legacy names, such as SM Entertainment, backing you, and they came from the virtually unknown Big Hit Entertainment (now Big Hit Music under conglomerate HYBE).

Year after year, the septet defied odds, from winning Best New Artist at the esteemed Melon Music Awards in 2013 to earning Top Social Artist across the globe at the Billboard Music Awards consecutively between 2017 and 2021. They have amassed 26 Guinness World Records and became the first Korean act to receive multiple nods from the GRAMMYs.

In honor of their 10th anniversary as BTS, Disney+ released BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star . The docuseries offers a deeper look at the septet's massive accomplishments, tracing back to their initial auditions in 2010. The first two of eight episodes are available to stream now.

Below, discover everything we learned thus far about the icons in their latest docuseries, BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star .

The BTS Grind Never Stops

You see their flawless choreography, calculated facial expressions and glamorous outfits, but you never know the amount of preparation it takes to get there.

For example, BTS rehearsed the lead single, "Danger," from their debut studio album, Dark & Wild , until the wee hours of the morning for weeks. They then traveled to Los Angeles to promote the single and, despite Big Hit’s unstable financial state, implemented a huge budget to produce the music video. The goal was to win the television competition "SBS Inkigayo."

"As expected, we didn’t place first and left the charts in a day," RM remarks in the episode.

The intense training and dieting caused them to question if their slow traction was worth the battle. "To be honest, I didn’t think this was fun in the past," Jin tearfully mentioned in a 2013 fan meeting. "There were a lot of things they couldn’t get started because they weren’t sure what path we were on."

Through their frustrations, BTS never gave up, and eventually, the perseverance led to their first mega-hits, "I Need U" and "Fire" in 2017. They obtained their desired results and still never decreased their work ethic, which skyrocketed their career to an even higher level. "We’ve always worked hard, whether there was a crisis or not," Jin explains.

Everyone Had Their Unique Strengths

What makes BTS a powerhouse is that each member had a clear-cut reason they joined, and as Suga notes, it took "countless" changes to perfect it into the current lineup.

According to HYBE chairman and the group’s creator, Bang Si-hyuk, he was impressed by RM’s "depth of character and base of knowledge"; Suga had a unique sarcastic, dark side; J-Hope was "the personification of diligence" and a strong dancer; Jin’s handsome features would easily attract a fandom; Jung Kook had "a lot" of potential; V was effortlessly charming; and Jimin was instantly talented and intrigued the team.

They’re More Than Colleagues — They’re Family

It’s common for manufactured groups not to bond beyond the stage. However, BTS see themselves more like family than co-workers.

Showing up for one another’s personal affairs was second nature. Without question, they watched Jung Kook enter high school, taking photos and teasing their younger brother, or maknae . The docuseries also flashes back to J-Hope’s surprise birthday party, where the six created a sentimental video of his family.

"I had found my place," J-Hope shares. "I believe that [joining BTS] was the most fateful moment of my life."

Being A K-Pop Idol Wasn’t Always Respected

For many aspiring musicians, especially those of Asian heritage, becoming an idol is the ultimate goal. You completely surrender to your art, spending nearly every waking hour doing what you love. If you’re lucky enough to debut at a company like HYBE, you will undoubtedly join the ranks of K-pop’s most influential. Better than anyone else, BTS knows that wasn’t always the case.

"There was a strong negative view of idols," Suga recounts of their breakthrough EP The Most Beautiful Moment in Life . "Nowadays, we are acknowledged for our achievements and performances overseas, but it was a really agonizing time for us back then. We had a lot of unreasonable controversies."

They became "desperate and spiteful," but because of the support from the Army, they overcame the rough patch and switched the narrative. As a thank you to their fans, they wrote "2! 3!" to say, "Let’s forget it all."

The United States Was A Turning Point In Their Career

By 2016, BTS knew they were stars in Korea. They performed in the biggest venue at the time, the Olympic Gymnastics Arena, with a capacity of 25,000 people. They won the Mnet Asian Music Awards' most coveted honor: Artist Of The Year.

"In a movie, the credits would start rolling. At that point, we’d done everything we could as Korean artists," Suga says with a laugh. So, what’s next? Conquer the rest of the world.

The following year, BTS performed at the Billboard Music Awards, certain that nothing would come of it. To their surprise, they won Top Social Artist, which had previously only been awarded to Justin Bieber .

"It was the start of raising people’s awareness of us as the group BTS," RM reveals. Things continued to snowball: they performed at the American Music Awards and dropped a remix with Steve Aoki.

By early 2022, BTS were making history. The group performed their smash hit "Butter" onstage at the 64th GRAMMY Awards.

They Believe In The Power Of Art

When the pandemic began in 2020, entertainment was the first sacrifice. "‘Concerts may never be held again. People are unable to gather,’" Suga recalls hearing on broadcasts. They began to wonder if there was a point in releasing music.

After two years of self-reflection and improvement, they knew COVID-19 could not be the end. Music gave them purpose. "That was the driving force," J-Hope says. "I wasn’t completely aware of how important music and dancing was to me. I realized that I shouldn’t take it all for granted."

The lockdown also showed them the impact Army had on their lives. They motivated them to keep going because they knew how much the band meant to their fans. They witnessed it constantly when they saw the fervent cheers and tears on tour. BTS has brought together millions of people. As Namjoon promises, "Art can change the world," and "Music transcends languages, nationalities and races."

11 Iconic Concert Films To Watch After 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour'

The concert film seems to be having a moment. From the Talking Heads to Queen, read on for 11 concert film experiences that will help keep the party going.

A lavender haze has descended upon movie theaters across America. 

Taylor Swift ’s filmed version of her historic Eras tour is the movie-music event of the year, dominating the box office becoming highest grossing dometic concert film in Hollywood history after a single weekend. Byt the time the Eras credits roll, you know all too well that you’re going to want to keep the party going.

Luckily, there are a breadth of artists whose musical singularity is reflected on the silver screen. Swift's major influence notwithstanding, the concert film seems to be having a moment in recent years: Pop stars such as Lizzo ( Live in Concert ), Selena Gomez ( My Mind and Me ) and Lewis Capaldi have released popular concert films.

From Beyoncé ’s stunning Homecoming , to acclaimed concert films from Queen to Talking Heads and new entries like from the boys in BTS , read on for 11 excellent concert film experiences.

Homecoming: A Film by Beyonce (2019)

When Beyoncé headlined the Coachella Music and Arts Festival — the first Black woman to do so — in 2018, she didn’t just perform; she delivered a tour de force extravaganza that spurred a whole new moniker: Beychella. 

Shot over two nights, the Netflix film Homecoming includes a discography-spanning retrospective and memorable performances of "Run the World," "Single Ladies" and "Formation." Layered in ware nods to the Historically Black College and University experience, legends like Nina Simone and dazzling array of choreography, wardrobe and vocal chops .  

The New Yorker later hailed it a "triumphant self portrait" and " a spectacle of soul." Directed by Queen Bey herself, Homecoming took home the golden gramophone for Best Music Film at hte 62nd GRAMMYs. 

Stop Making Sense (1984)

The filmmaker Jonathan Demme is known for classics like Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia , but he was also a major force in concert films. Among his achievements in this field is Stop Making Sense , his 1984 portrait of David Byrne and his Talking Heads.

Filmed at the peak of the band's popularity and following the release of Speaking in Tongues (which featured "This Must Be The Place" and "Burning Down the House,"), Stop Making Sense   is a cult classic, from its array of hits to the band’s massive suits which became their calling card. 

The film was re-released in theaters last month. "I'm kind of looking at it and thinking, who is that guy?," said David Byrne in a recent interview with NPR about watching his younger self. "I'm impressed with the film and impressed with our performance. But I'm also having this really jarring experience of thinking, ‘He's so serious .’" 

BTS: Yet to Come in Cinemas (2023)

While the GRAMMY-nominated South Korean superstars BTS may be on a break — Jung Kook recently announced that he will release his debut solo full-length - bask in the glow of the K-pop and their rollicking concert film earlier this year. In the film, Jung Kook alongside Jin, RM, Jimin, V, J-Hope as they smoothly perform their calvadace of hits, including "Butter" and"Dynamite" in a 2022 performance for Busan, South Korea’s rally to host the 2030 World Expo. 

The boys are actually no stranger to the genre, with Yet To Come marking their fifth concert film in addition to BTS Permission to Dance on Stage — Seoul: Live Viewing and 2020’s Break the Silence: The Movie among others. 

Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991)

With off-stage footage shot in black and white and performances in vivid color, this early '90s classic depicts Queen Madge at the height of her power. Taken from an actual game Madonna and friends play towards the end of the film (to scandalous results), Truth or Dare showcases the breadth of Madonna’s superstardom up until that point with performances of classics like "Holiday" and "Like a Virgin" with its artfully-shot juxtaposition of performance and documentary footage a trailblazer in the concert film genre. 

" The surprise of Truth or Dare is just what a blast Madonna is," wrote the Guardian on the occasion of the film’s 30th anniversary. "Nastily funny, openly horny, undisguised in her contempt for anyone she deems less fabulous than herself and her blessed collaborators." 

Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (2011)

Way before Swiftmania, there was Bieber Fever. In the wake of Justin Bieber ’s explosive rise, Never Say Never interspersed performances with snapshots of his journey from humble Canadian roots to global pop force to be reckoned with. 

Helmed by Jon M. Chu (who’d go onto direct blockbusters like Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights ), Never Say Never is a time capsule of a younger, more innocent Bieber and his early earworm bubblegum hits. Until Swift's Eras is tallied it’s the top-grossing concert movie ever released in the USA. 

Prince: Sign o’ the Times (1987)

This iconic concert film was once hard to come by; after its theatrical run, Sign o’ the Times was only issued on VHS and eventually went out of print. But thanks to the magic of streaming, one can now easily transport oneself back to the '80s and enjoy the magic that is Prince . 

Directed by the artist and using his acclaimed 1987 album Sign o’ the Times as a jumping off point (the album itself was a 2017 inductee into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame), the film reminds viewers of the Purple One's magnetism. Under an array of colorful lights and performing to a raucous crowd, the icon may have died in 2016, but S ign o’ the Times serves as a deft time capsule of his royal talent. 

Katy Perry: Part of Me (2012)

As Katy Perry was in the midst of releasing her acclaimed album Teenage Dream , the pop singer had the foresight to chronicle the ensuing pandemonium.

 " I feel like it was, like, a big wave coming," she told ABC upon the release of Katy Perry: Part of Me , the 2012 concert film that documented her blockbuster California Dreams tour. "I thought to myself, 'Well, I think this is going to be a moment. Maybe I should catch it on tape. I'm either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life." 

Fortunately the later wound up occurring, with the subsequent film a celebrity-packed (featuring everyone from Lady Gaga to Adele ) hit-filled ("Teenage Dream" and "California Girls") look into the life, times and music of the star. 

Queen: Live at Wembley ‘86 (1986)

Freddie Mercury and Queen were staples of London's Wembley Stadium, performing many memorable shows, including an iconic turn at Live Aid in the early '80s and a Mercury tribute show in the '90s. 

Songs like "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" fit right in on Wembley's massive stage, with the concert film depicting the thundering live versions of those classics. Relive those heady days with this film which showcases just what made Mercury and his band rock icons, and huge ones at that. 

"Mercury was indeed a born ringmaster," wrote CNN in a piece about their status as stadium savants. "There was no alienating affectation, no wallowing in sentiment... Queen consciously wrote their songs as vehicles for theatrics."

Summer of Soul (2021)

Back in 1969, Stevie Wonder , Gladys Knight , Nina Simone and B.B. King joined forces for the Harlem Cultural Festival, a mostly forgotten multi-week legendary summit. That all changed when Roots frontman Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson obtained a treasure trove worth of footage and directed this stunning film, aptly dubbed Summer of Soul , which brought the event back to vivid life and subsequent acclaim including a GRAMMY Award for Best Music Film. 

"It was gold," Thompson told Pitchfork of his process of sifting through the footage to create what would become a passion project. "If anything, it was an embarrassment of riches. It was too much. I kept this on a 24-hour loop for about six months straight. Slept to it. Traveled to it. It was the only thing I consumed."

Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids (2016)

Also directed by Jonathan Demme and released before his 2017 death, J ustin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids showcases Timberlake 's  popular 20/20 Experience World Tour and litany of solo hits including "Sexyback" and "Suit & Tie."  

"I don’t think anything can compete with live performance," admitted Demme to Rolling Stone before his death in 2017. "You can’t beat it. But we strive to provide the most exciting interpretation of that feeling, as filmmakers. We can provide a roving best seat in the house. We can linger on closeups. We can follow the dynamics of the music. I love shooting music." 

The Last Waltz (1978)

One of the earliest projects of director Martin Scorsese ’s career was helping edit the monumental film version of Woodstock in 1970. But as that decade progressed and the auteur became known for narrative features including Mean Streets, he revisited his roots by directing The Last Waltz. A trailblazer in the genre, the film captures the last performance of The Band featuring frontman Robbie Robertson alongside a range of guests including Bob Dylan , Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton . Filmed on Thanksgiving Day in 1976, it’s a time capsule of the day’s biggest acts at the height of their artistry. 

"It's a picture that kind of saved my life at the time," Scorsese told an audience at the Toronto International Film Festival during a 2019 screening. "It's very special to me. Forty years on, it's very special to a great number of us."

Although there has been no official announcement, a report has been circulating on the internet that is already driving the ARMY crazy, hinting at the possibility of a grand BTS world tour in 2025. According to a Hyundai Motor Securities researcher, BTS might go on tour soon. As per the outlet, if this tour happens, it has the potential to boost HYBE's revenue by almost three times. This prediction was made after considering BTS's canceled 2020 tour owing to Covid-19.

A report by Kim Young Moon/Daily Hankook (via Koreaboo) claims, “With NewJeans and BTS’s world tours to be expected next year, performance is confirmed to take a quantum jump.”

After seeing several such claims about their favorites making a comeback, fans are unable to stay calm as they have flooded social media with their tweets showing excitement.

“I suddenly feel like crying. The large-scale tour that both fans and the boys have been waiting for! They are doing it even though five years have passed? Oppa-deu,” wrote a fan. While another one commented, “I wasn’t coming on Twitter because of all the crazy news happening in 2024, but I am seeing such good news as soon as I opened Twitter.”

Now, although we don't have any confirmation yet, it will be a pleasure to see our favourites perform again after so long.

BTS, which is also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a septet. It consists of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook . The band was formed in 2010. Their ever-burgeoning fanbase is called ‘ARMY’.
