“I hope you find new sides of us that are previously unseen,” added Jung Kook.
According to the tweet, this is an “exclusive #DisneyPlusSG series,” but it remains unclear whether or not “Beyond the Star” will be available only in Singapore, or if it will air internationally. Reps for Disney+ did not immediately return PvNew‘s request for comment.
“Beyond the Star” was teased earlier this year, along with two other BTS-related titles on the streaming service; the 4K concert film “BTS: Permission to Dance on Stage,” which showcased the boy band’s SoFi Stadium show in late 2021, and travel show “In the Soop: Friendcation” which stars V alongside “Parasite” actor Choi Woo-shik and rapper Peakboy.
News of the upcoming docuseries comes as the supergroup shifts to building their solo projects. Earlier this year, BTS revealed they would be taking a break to work on their individual careers all the while emphasizing this would not be a forever deal. They’ve certainly kept the promise as the band continues to push group content, like the impending series, all the while crafting successful solo endeavors.
The group is also facing mandatory military service in South Korea, which is expected to impact the members up until 2025. As the oldest member of the group, Jin will reportedly be the first in line for service. In October, the singer released his new solo single “The Astronaut” alongside Coldplay, while J-Hope dropped his first official solo album, “Jack in the Box,” and also headlined Lollapalooza in July. Jung Kook performed at the Opening Ceremony for the World Cup in Qatar, and RM is gearing up for the release of his debut solo album, “Indigo,” which is slated for release this Friday, Dec. 2
