Here are some things ARMY canāt wait to see inĀ BTSĀ Monuments: Beyond The Star.
Why ARMY Can’t Wait: Top 7 Moments to Anticipate
1. Behind-the-Scenes Dance Practices:
Witness BTS in their element with extensive practice footage, potentially including rare pre-debut clips. Ā With a decade in the industry,Ā BTSĀ naturally have tons of footage hidden in their vault. Based on the teasers released forĀ BTSĀ Monuments: Beyond The Star, weāre definitely getting more practice videos — maybe even some pre-debut content!
2. Cherished Graduations:
Get a glimpse into the members’ graduation ceremonies, with special focus on RM, and possibly others. Most ARMYs are familiar withĀ Jung Kookās graduation ceremony Bangtan BombĀ where all the members ofĀ BTSĀ were present.Ā
3. Early Showcases:
Relive BTS’ roots through clips from their early, more intimate performances. BeforeĀ BTSĀ sold out huge stadiums and flew to different countries worldwide, the members used to perform at small shows and meet a handful of fans. Often, they had to catch quick naps in a tiny car while hopping from event to event around South Korea. Thanks toĀ BTSĀ Monuments: Beyond The Star, ARMY will get to see more clips from those simple days.
4. Life in the Old Dorm:
Explore BTS’ shared experiences in their first dorm, with exclusive footage offering a peek into their early days. In their early years, all 7 members ofĀ BTSĀ shared one tiny room measuring 17 tsubo or pyeong (which is merely around 56 square meters). Itās all too familiar and nostalgic for ARMY — itās whereĀ BTSĀ celebrated their 1st debut anniversary. There arenāt a lot of videos from that era, but it seems they’ll be releasing never-before-seen footage based on a trailer clip of RM and V playing with a game console at their old dorm
5. The Stories Behind Selfies:
Delve into the anecdotes behind iconic BTS selfies, including a special feature on a viral selfie by Jimin. BTSĀ members love sharing group photos and selfies with their fans, as proven by the overabundance of content on their social media accounts. As a way to connect with ARMY,Ā BTSĀ often tell the story behind the photos they upload. This time, fans might get actual footage from behind the scenes of some photos! In one scene from the trailer, Jimin explains to the camera how he ended up takingĀ a viral selfie he posted in 2013.
6. Exclusive 2013 Fan Meeting:
Anticipate potentially unseen footage from a unique fan meeting held in 2013, a much-awaited treat for fans. BTSĀ held a small fan meeting for a joint celebration of Christmas and the birthdays of Jin and V. Fans couldnāt bring cameras to the event, but BigHitĀ didĀ film the event, yet footage remains elusive. While the trailers released so far didnāt show a hint of this event, many ARMYs (including us!) are hoping HYBE and BigHit will finally show the world actual clips from this event.

7. Lockdown Reflections:
Experience the emotional struggles and triumphs of BTS during the COVID-19 lockdown, a period that challenged but also showcased their resilience. To the rest of the world,Ā BTSĀ provided a much-needed light and life during the COVID-19 pandemic with their inspiring and upbeat songs āDynamiteā, āLife Goes Onā, āButterā, and āPermission to Danceā. But ARMYs would know how difficult that time was for the members due to the cancellation of the āMap of the Soul Tourā and the difficulty of performing in front of their fans, especially at the height of their careers. The footage from that era might make fans cry, but ARMY will surely tune in even with tears blurring their vision.
