"Break the Silence; The Movie" is a documentary film about BTS's "Love Yourself: Speak Yourself" world tour, where the band visited 10 cities around the world in 2019.
The documentary, which tells the true story of the seven members behind the stage, was released last September and was watched by about 1.49 million people around the world. At that time, the film set a record for being released in the world's largest number of countries and theaters since the corona virus outbreak.
