BTS's new show, BTS Radio: Past & Present was announced last week, beginning on May 28. The group will host three shows, from that report:
ABC News reports that the group will "take listeners on their quest to stardom while sharing stories and songs that helped shaped them.""We wanted to use this radio show to celebrate nine years of BTS with you guys and with our ARMY all over the world," said RM of the seven-member boy band — which also includes J-Hope, Suga, Jungkook, V, Jin and Jimin."Every episode is dedicated to you," RM continues. "And we wanted to share the BTS songs that help tell our story."
The first episode, which aired last week, gave listeners a look at the songs that helped inspire the unique sound of BTS. Next week an episode will play host to some of the band's favorite songs, and the final episode will look at how the band handled its explosion in popularity and global fame.
Apple Music has enjoyed lots of success with exclusive artist content recently, including a Harry Styles concert that also broke Apple Music records. Apple Music is one of the best iPhone apps for streaming and starts from just $4.99 a month.
