From the director who brought audiences The Greatest Night in Pop, this documentary offers rare behind-the-access to the group as they work through their doubts and share moments of laughter and rediscovery.

As per Netflix, the documentary will follow the band as they contemplate how to begin again, wrestle with honouring the past and redefine an ever-evolving identity as they grow as artists and global icons.

"I did not try to tell the entire story of BTS," director Bao Nguyen said of the documentary, "I tried to understand what this particular moment meant to them and what story could be found inside that.

"What I kept seeing, just through observation and listening, was a brotherhood formed through creativity and through proximity, through living together, working together, growing up together, and carrying an emormous weight together."

So, after their recent comeback performance, when can audiences tune into the documentary? Read on for everything you need to know.
