Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS

Product Information

There are details such as the fact that they practise more than 16 hours daily, their initial doubts about making a debut, doing justice to their fame with their music, and other creative and personal concerns. If you don't know much about BTS as a band and are curious about them, this could be a great place to start.

Beyond the Story serves as a remarkable archive, capturing the major milestones and accomplishments of BTS. The group’s seven members — RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — have performed at the Grammys and the American Music Awards, and most of their music videos have over 1 billion views on YouTube. Fervent speculation over what the book could be fueled rumors that a Taylor Swift book was in the works — turns out, it’s a “blockbuster” memoir on K-poppowerhouse BTS. While the big groups debuting around the same time, such as EXO, had big promotional budgets, slots for television promos and frequent appearances and marketing hype supporting them, BTS was, in their own words, “a cottage industry production”. Feeling disconnected from their fans, they too had moments of self-doubt and wondered if the path to success that had emerged since their debut would all but disappear.For me, I got the impression that, if I looked back on my life later on, I wouldn’t be able to explain it without this part I did together with these people. I really appreciated how the focus was put on music and how the author retraced every step they took in the industry by constantly mentioning albums, songs, concepts and eras, while also including their personal struggles, aspirations and dreams in the process.

When the group won artist of the year, he couldn’t help thinking someone had made a mistake — or the world was playing a prank on him.This book is a true testament to their global impact and leaves readers with a deep appreciation for the artistry and passion that drives BTS forward.
