BTS is back together again… at least on the small screen. RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook are heading to Disney+ with their new docuseries, BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star.
Streaming now on Disney+, the eight-part series tracks the incredible journey of BTS, from their early days in Korea to their international success on the music scene and beyond. Featuring new, never-before-seen interviews, concert performances and behind-the-scenes moments, BTS Monuments chronicles the group’s 10-year career, while previewing what’s to come next.
First announced in 2022, the BTS documentary is available to stream online free for Disney+ subscribers. Not a subscriber? Get access to Disney+ from just $7.99 a month.
Your best Disney+ deal is the Disney Bundle, which gets you Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu for one low price of $14.99. That’s a 44 percent discount versus paying for each streaming service separately. There is no contract required for the streamer, so you can sign-up for a month to watch the BTS documentary on Disney+ and then cancel afterwards.
Disney+ subscribers can watch the BTS Monuments movie online free and on-demand as part of their subscription. While Disney+ doesn’t offer a free trial, Verizon customers on select phone and internet plans can get the Disney Bundle included as part of their plan. See full details here.
While there may be free streaming links for the BTS docuseries on sites like Reddit, the only (legal) way to stream Monuments: Beyond the Star, is through Disney+.
The new BTS docuseries features eight episodes, with the first episode premiering December 20 and aptly named, “The Beginning.” The last episode will be released on January 10 and is titled, “Promise for Tomorrow.” Each episode has an expected runtime of 45-50 minutes.
Here is a full list of episode titles, per Disney+.
Episode 1 – The Beginning
Episode 2 – Adolescence
Episode 3 – Pursuit of Happiness
Episode 4 – Disconnected
Episode 5 – Welcome!
Episode 6 – Begin and Again
Episode 7 – Still Purple

In addition to the group members, the Disney+ doc will feature appearances from HYBE Chairman Bang Si-Hyuk, and Kang Myeongseok, the author of the recent BTS book, “Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS.”
Per a Disney+ release, the episodes will also include highlights from BTS’ appearance at the 2013 Melon Music Awards; commentary and clips from their debut at the American Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards; a look back at their speech at the UN; and footage from their performances at the Rose Bowl and Wembley Stadium.

Disney+ says the docuseries will also reveal some personal moments from the group’s past including “their struggles during the ‘Danger’ period, their initial contract renewal process and the difficulties of isolating during Covid.” Of course, more lighthearted moments will be included as well, like the guys recalling their first impressions of each other and footage from J-Hope’s surprise birthday party and Jung Kook’s high school graduation ceremony.
“BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star will take audiences on an in-depth journey across the band’s 10-year career, highlighting their highs and lows for the first time ever in a captivating docuseries format,” reads the series description. “Beyond The Star looks back on the band’s key moments over the years, showing how the band came to be, what it was like preparing for their debut… and more.”
The new BTS Disney+ series comes on the heels of another new BTS release: a photobook titled “Beyond the Stage.” The documentary-style book features more than 600 pages of behind-the-scenes photos from BTS’ appearances over the years, plus interview snippets from the group members talking about their favorite moments to date and their thoughts about ARMY’s support.
