A TV Series About BTS Becoming a Group Is In The Works!

A new television series about the K-Pop group BTS is in the works, but they’ll not be starring in it.

The series will follow how the seven-member group met and became one of the world’s hottest bands. The show will cast young actors as younger versions of the stars.

“Storytelling will be expanded in stages to include artists in our multi-label organization,” Bang Si-hyuk, founder and co-CEO of Big Hit Entertainment, said at a press conference (via Entertainment Weekly). “Big Hit is currently preparing a drama series together with a leading Korean production company based on the Bangtan Universe, slated for release in the second half of 2020. It will be a story set in the BU about how the seven boys first met.”

Fans seem upset that the guys from BTS won’t appear in the series, but they just announced they’re taking a much-deserved break to rest up.
