One of the reasons I made it through the pandemic was because I was able to find a community in BTS ARMY, by watching the concert performances together with a good friend at a ridiculous hour in the US. So when Disney+ debuted BTS: PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA, it was fantastic to watch it again. Now, Disney+ has acquired the rights to BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star – a new eight-part docuseries coming December 20, 2023. BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star isn’t the first docuseries or documentary for the band. with Break the Silence: The Movie Persona, Burn the Stage: The Movie, Bring the Soul: The Movie, and Bring the Soul: The Docu-series and Break The Silence docu-series.
