BBC have commissioned a TV special which will chart the rise of global superstars BTS.

The new 30-minute film will air on BBC One as the Korean boyband debut in the world-famous Radio 1 Live Lounge.

'BTS @ Radio 1' will be hosted by Radio 1 presenter Adele Roberts, who will delve into the culture and industry that made one of the world's biggest pop bands.

BTS' Radio 1 journey began in 2017 with their first ever play on the station, which resulted in fans from across the globe sharing an overwhelming amount of support and excitement. In this documentary, Adele will relive this moment and her trip to Seoul in 2018 where she met BTS' choreographer, the minister for K-pop and the incredible fanbase known as the ARMY.

Adele will also reconnect with the band in an exclusive interview ahead of their debut in the iconic Radio 1 Live Lounge, where they'll be performing award-winning hit 'Dynamite', new single 'Permission To Dance' and a special cover of Puff Daddy and Faith Evans' 'I'll Be Missing You' - that samples The Police's 'Every Breath You Take' - from South Korea.
