Fans are about to get a behind the scenes look at the lives of K-Pop group BTS in the upcoming YouTube Red series Burn the Stage.
The series will have eight episodes and it is set to premiere on March 28th at 8:00am PST.
The show gives an intimate eyewitness account of their star-making, sold-out 2017 world tour, taking BTS for 300-days through 20 cities across Asia, South America, and the United States, as well as their meteoric rise on the global stage through the band’s eyes.
Burn the Stage includes intimate interviews and raw moments with band members in their private quarters backstage or in hotel rooms, as well as never-before-seen footage of key breakthrough moments for the band.
“We’re thrilled to be working with BTS to launch their groundbreaking documentary on YouTube Red to their worldwide ARMY fans. YouTube has been instrumental in spreading BTS’ music around the world, so today we’re happy that we can be a part of this series’ launch that showcases BTS’ maturation as global phenomena,” said Nadine Zylstra, Head of YouTube Originals, Asia Pacific.

BTS are on the cover of Billboard‘s latest issue, out now.
Here’s what the hugely successful K-Pop boy band had to say…
RM on social change: “Honestly, from our standpoint, every day is stressful for our generation. It’s hard to get a job, it’s harder to attend college now more than ever. Adults need to create policies that can facilitate that overall social change. Right now, the privileged class, the upper class needs to change the way they think.”
RM on the recent death of Jonghyun from the K-pop group SHINee: “We went to give our condolences that morning. I couldn’t sleep at all that night. It was so shocking, because we had seen him so often at events. He was so successful.”
Suga on the death of Jonghyun and mental health awareness: “I really want to say that everyone in the world is lonely and everyone is sad, and if we know that everyone is suffering and lonely, I hope we can create an environment where we can ask for help, and say things are hard when they’re hard, and say that we miss someone when we miss them.”
