BTS Concert, 'Up Close And Personal' Documentary To Release On Disney Plus

It’s not over yet for BTS.

The world’s biggest boyband has lined up a number of projects with Disney, following the seven members' announcement in June that they would be taking a break to explore different paths and solo projects.

Disney revealed in a statement to CNN Business that it will add new original shows featuring all seven members of the group — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — to its streaming platform, including a taped concert special and a behind-the-scenes documentary series.

Hybe, BTS' management company, has five new titles in total with Disney+, including a forthcoming spin-off of the “In The Soop” reality series featuring V and his Wooga Squad. “In The Soop: Friendcation” is set to premiere this month.

BTS made the official announcement via a video shared by the official Twitter account of Disney+ Singapore Monday. They confirmed that the concert special, “BTS: Permission to Dance- LA,” will soon be available, while the documentary series, “BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star,” will air “sometime next year.”

The concert special was filmed at the Sofi stadium in Inglewood, California, in November 2021.

J-Hope shared that the upcoming documentary series will show a more “up close and personal” side of them. Jimin added that the fans will get to see how they have grown over the past years and “the story” behind their music.

The video ended with the band saying they hope fans will enjoy and look forward to their future content with Disney+.

Disney+ announced a major expansion into Asian content in October last year, saying it plans to add more than 50 original titles from the region by 2023. The company commissioned new shows from South Korea, Japan, Australia, Taiwan and Indonesia.

As part of the move, the streaming platform released in December 2021 the South Korean drama “Snowdrop” starring Jisoo of popular South Korean pop group Blackpink. It became one of the most-watched shows on the platform throughout Asia.

"This collaboration represents our creative ambition — to work with iconic content creators and top stars in Asia-Pacific so their talent can be enjoyed by mainstream audiences in multiple ways," Jessica Kam-Engle, Disney's head of content for Asia Pacific, said in a statement. “We believe these new titles will captivate consumers worldwide and look forward to introducing more music content on our service."

While waiting for the new titles, fans can continue to stream BTS' new album, "Proof," on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Play.
