Big Hit Entertainment’s co-CEO Bang Si-hyuk revealed on August 21, 2019, that a drama series about BTS’s debut days was in production to be released in the second half of 2020 as part of the BTS Universe.

Shooting halted in late October 2020 following complaints from fans concerning the names of the characters having similarities with the members’ names of the group. The shooting was initially planned to resume in early December but was pushed to January 2021. On April 7, 2021, news emerged that the names of the lead characters were to be altered and some of the shooting to be redone.
