There’s a joke among BTS fans that the journey down the rabbit hole often begins the same way: “I just wanted to learn their names!” One moment you’re casually looking up the band members’ full names and ages; next thing you know, you’re calling carbonara “lachimolala,” debating which member snores the loudest, tracking down j-hope’s flower bag from the group’s 2018 trip to Malta, and emailing your local representative about changing the national anthem to “Ddaeng.”
This is all to say: There’s a lot to learn about BTS. Since their inception in 2013, they’ve documented their journey to global superstardom through enough behind-the-scenes content, web series, vlogs, and livestreams to fill the Library of Alexandria. But in the documentary BTS: THE RETURN, filmed by acclaimed director Bao Nguyen (The Stringer, The Greatest Night in Pop), we get the opportunity to bear witness to a completely new and unbroadcast moment for the septet. After a nearly four-year hiatus, they face an unprecedented period of uncertainty and wrestle with the kind of path they want to chart ahead.
But even as they’re tackling an unfamiliar challenge, fans will recognize the same old Bangtan they know and love. So we decided to have a little fun with this film — in a way only BTS fans could hack. Below, we invite you to discover a few of the most compelling, and, well, very BTS-core moments from the documentary, and to guess who is involved in each one. Then, see if you or your group chat got them all right by watching BTS: THE RETURN, streaming now on Netflix.













Look forward to watching these moments unfold (and seeing how you did!) by checking out BTS: THE RETURN, now streaming on Netflix.
