This first concert is highly anticipated, especially because we haven’t seen all seven members perform together since they enlisted in the military one by one. It is also the first-ever event from South Korea that Netflix will broadcast worldwide. Of course, it had to be with BTS!
BTS: THE RETURN Documentary: Details About The Making Of Arirang
Directed by Bao Nguyen and co-produced by This Machine (Martha, Karol G) and HYBE, BTS: THE RETURN features the behind-the-scenes and making of ‘Arirang’, their post-military comeback album. Quietly reuniting in LA after wrapping their mandatory enlistments, BTS learn to create together again. Facing the pressures of the magnitude of new music, the septet returns to its cultural roots. Fans will get to see how they shaped their monumental album, which is not yet out. At 91 minutes, the feature-length documentary film is sure to be a treat for ARMYs.
