BTS documentary director says Greek mythology shaped the band’s comeback film

The BTS: The Return is streaming now on Netflix

The BTS: The Return documentary was inspired by the Odyssey and Greek mythology.

Director Bao Nguyen has revealed that the Netflix film draws heavily from the Greek literature classic Odyssey, which follows Odysseus, King of Ithaca, on his tumultuous decade-long trip home following the Trojan War,  and Greek mythology, framing K-pop giants BTS’ hiatus and reunion as a modern epic.
