BTS: THE RETURN Announcement

Netflix has announced a special documentary centered on Kpop supergroup BTS called BTS: THE RETURN.

“The feature-length documentary serves as a companion to the live performance and chronicles the long-awaited return of BTS and the making of their fifth studio album, ARIRANG. The film offers rare behind-the-scenes access as the group comes back together and charts an unprecedented path forward together after a nearly four-year hiatus.
Since their debut in 2013, BTS has reached extraordinary levels of success and built ARMY — a fan base that has taken on everything from philanthropic work to politics, and it’s more organized than the actual military. After completing their mandatory military service, the seven members meet up in Los Angeles to make music together. They return to a shared creative space after being shaped by time apart and personal change. For their next chapter, they reflect on their whirlwind past as they contemplate what the future of BTS will look and sound like. BTS: THE RETURN offers an intimate look at the performers as they work through doubt and share in moments of laughter and rediscovery. BTS contemplates how to begin again, how to honor the past without being bound by it, and how to define an ever-evolving identity as the bandmates grow as artists and global icons.”

BTS: THE RETURN premieres on Netflix on March 27.
