Fans first learned about the top-secret special when Nick Rotherham shared a video of himself and the BBC Radio 1 team abroad. The reporter posted a video of himself and three other team members learning choreography to the group’s latest single “MIC Drop.”
“On our last day of shooting a BTS documentary in Seoul for BBC Radio 1 we were taught the dance to their new track “Mic Drop” by their very own choreographer,” Rotherham posted.

There is no word on when the documentary will go live, but Army is already anticipating the special. In recent weeks, BTS has reached new heights on their conquest to take over the Billboard charts as well as the west. The K-pop sensations came to the US to make their live televised debut on the American Music Awards earlier this month. The group caused a social media frenzy thanks to their energetic performance of “DNA,” and BTS also sat down for interviews on programs like Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
