Worldwide sensation BTS has been dominating the news recently: they’ve performed at the Grammys, attended The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, recorded a Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, and even more so after the release of their newest album MAP OF THE SOUL: 7. However, what some might not know, is that they provide their fans, or the ARMY, with a lot more content than just epic music and mind-blowing performances. They have several movies, a documentary series, and hilarious variety shows that fans can acquire from their online community platforms Weverse and Vlive. Here’s some of their best.
Bring the Soul: Movie and Documentary Series
Bring the Soul is their second tour movie, but the first to be extended into a documentary series. The movie follows the band through their Love Yourself stadium tour, which ran from the 25th of August 2018, until the 7th of April 2019. While the film itself had only limited screenings in August 2019, the 6 episodes-long documentary series can be purchased on Weverse. Both feature heart wrenching and honest portrayals of the struggles they have gone through during the physically and mentally demanding concerts, with some funny stories in between to lighten up the mood. They show one on one interviews with the members, who talk the fans through some of their injuries, their fights and disagreements, what their journey has been like so far, as well as their dreams for the future. Watching this, you’ll get to know a little bit more about how each member operates on tour, and how much the fans’ support means to all of them. It’s emotional, sweet, and funny, and will definitely make you appreciate the hard work artists put in to entertain their followers.
Bon Voyage Season 4
BTS has come back with their fourth edition of their travelling show, this time heading to New Zealand. It’s an 8 episodes-long adventure where the boys go on an RV road trip on the beautiful island to camp, fish, go horseback riding, and enjoy their time away together. Bon Voyage is a show where you can see the members relax a bit in places where they are free to roam around like any normal young adult would. It continues to be a wholesome series that humanises the idols and portrays how close they really are to each other. All four seasons are available to purchase on Weverse with English subtitles.
Run BTS
This is a variety show that has been running since 2015, with 94 episodes so far, usually airing on Tuesdays on Vlive, free for all with English subtitles. Each episode is 30 minutes long, and shows the band playing games, trying to complete challenges, or compete in competitions against each other. Run BTS is famous for “top 10 anime betrayal” memes, while the members act like winning the games is the most important thing in the whole wide world. They have prizes to compete for, as well as penalties for the losing team to avoid. It shows the comedic side of the group and provides ARMY with inside jokes and hilarious one-liners, like Lachimolala.
