Beyond The Star’ is the best Christmas gift for ARMYs

2023 will end with a bittersweet taste for ARMYs. This is because, after 10 years since the debut of BTSthis will be the first end of the year that fans will spend more time away from their idols due to military enlistment.

However, the documentary series “BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star”, released this Wednesday, 20th, exclusively on Disney+, appears to make up, even if in a minimal way, this lack that fans will have to Jin, RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V It is Jungkook.

For now, only two episodes are available, but they can bring tears to the eyes of anyone who likes the group. The main purpose of the documentary is to celebrate BTS’s 10-year career, and the production fulfills its proposal in a sensitive and interesting way.

For those who don’t follow the formation closely, but are curious to know how BTS became this huge global phenomenon, “BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star” is, certainly, the right place for you to understand from different angles everything that led to the group to become one of the biggest boygroups today.

In the first episode, we understand the entire origin of the group, from the choice of members, to the long-awaited debut, presenting all the difficulties that the members had to go through during this period, mainly because they debuted in a company that, at the time, was very small. .

This highlight for the troubles experienced by Jin, RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkookand the company itself, which may be unimaginable to those who look at its grandeur these days, become important to highlight all the efforts that the idols needed to make to achieve everything they currently have.

However, perhaps one of the most interesting points is the emphasis given in this episode to the importance of each member in the formation. As the documentary progresses, the members themselves make it clear that, if one of the seven hadn’t been there, BTS’s fate would probably have been different.

In short, the first episode traces in an incredible way the entire path that Bangtan Sonyeondan had to take until a moment that was a watershed for its history: the first win on a South Korean music program with the song “I Need You”.

After establishing themselves in South Korea, the group took a new step in their career, which would take them to where they are today: entering the international market. The second episode is responsible for following this phase, and presenting BTS’s first years of global success.

In addition to showing their first trip to the United States, the documentary also presents the group’s first appearances at American awards shows, their first programs, and everything that happened behind the scenes during this period.

One of the cutest things about this episode is, of course, seeing the surprise on the members’ faces when they realize the number of fans who attend the events just to see them. In fact, the relationship with ARMYs is something present throughout the documentary. In the two episodes released, the importance of fans is always highlighted, being remembered by the members very frequently.

However, all this enormous attention presented in the second chapter also becomes a problem for the septet. The fears and anguish of this period are presented in a delicate way, and explained in detail by the seven. The disappointment with the cancellation of commitments after the COVID-19 pandemic, and each person’s reaction during the period of isolation, also helps us to get to know the idols we love so much even more.

The sudden great exposure, the busy schedule, the exhausting rehearsals and the entire tiring routine of idol life ended up weighing heavily when the moment of the dreaded contract renewal came.

However, although every K-pop fan understands the difficult relationship it is possible to have with any company, it is interesting — or even surprising for those who perhaps don’t follow it as closely — to see Bang Si-hyukfounder of BigHit Music, concerned about the members’ physical and mental health during this time.

The second episode ends up making you even more curious to check out the new behind-the-scenes of these 10 years of BTS’ career that will be presented. Certainly, “BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star” could become one of those mandatory productions for every ARMY to watch.
