MANILA, Philippines — A new documentary series about the Kpop boy band BTS will stream on Disney+ beginning December 20.
The eight-part "BTS Monuments: Beyond the Star" will follow the group's decade-long career to date and feature in-depth interviews with each of the group's members — RM, Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.

A short teaser for the docuseries showed snippets of the interviews, documented before Jin, J-Hope, and Suga enlisted for South Korea's mandatory military service.
The enlistment was among the reasons for BTS' ongoing hiatus as well as embarking on solo projects, though the group plans to reunite in 2025 once all members have completed their duties.
