After news of BTS’ hiatus hit the internet, their devoted international fanbase was gutted. However, each member keeps the chart-topping K-pop group’s legacy alive with their own solo releases. Now that the band’s future seems certain, supporters can enjoy the BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star documentary with sobering thoughts.
In addition to the Disney+ exclusive series, member Jimin hit the booth one more time to pen a heartfelt thank you through the single “Closer Than This.” As the documentary explores BTS’ roots, on “Closer Than This” gives a first-hand account of their ground-breaking start.
“Do you also remember? / The moment we first met? / We were so shy and awkward back then / Now that I look back / We’ve come this far in just a blink of an eye / We walked it together, alongside each other / At times, I fell and shed tears / We comforted each other, with a pat on the back / Gazing at one another with tears in our eyes / Calling out each other’s names / Starting on June 13 / To the us of thе present, herе and now / Even if you’re not here / At the same place, always,” Jimin sings.
The official video for the track features touching footage of the group over their meteoric decade in music.
