Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS

Product Information

If you know BTS well some things will already be known to you, but they also have included some new elements from the members' perspectives and also quite a lot of backstory for what happened during their most challenging and difficult years as a group.

This could be nice in theory, if it wasn't so ceaseless that in the end the descriptions blur together and just become irritating. In the decade since their global debut in 2013, BTS have broken world records, earned Grammy nominations, gained international recognition for their self-produced music and unmissable performances, and amassed millions of fans globally (a. Published in celebration of BTS's 10th Anniversary, stories that go beyond what you already know about BTS, including unreleased photos, QR codes of videos, and all album information.Let’s focus on achieving more for them and getting them the longevity and success they truly deserve. If history books are the answer sheet to the present, then our sunbaes (seniors) who did music before us are our answer sheet, right?

They show gratitude to a fandom that has catapulted them into superstardom, while also making them lonely and robbing them of the right to privacy (God help them if they ever decide to publicly date a person). BTS’s relationship with ARMY, formed thanks to the internet, became their unintended path to salvation. Complete with a timeline of all major milestones, BEYOND THE STORY is a remarkable archive—truly everything about BTS in one volume. Again, I understand the reluctance in sharing that level of detail — with so many bad-faith actors already criticising the book for simply recounting certain unpleasant incidents,I can’t imagine how nasty they could be if BTS shared genuine human vulnerability. 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.As digital artists, BTS has been communicating with the world through the internet and this book allows readers to immediately access trailers, music videos, and more online to have a rich understanding of all the key moments in BTS history. The amount of love and appreciation I have for them is more than enough for me to endure these hard times caused by their absence. A lot of time is also lent to the narrator describing the songs, sometimes pointing out details from the production or getting commentary from the members. Tells of how these little boys who came from a small company came to become the phenomenon they are despite the kpop industry being against them.

Or maybe they've been at it for years and we only learned about it now, with the tannies you never know. There are still many barriers that need to be broken and BTS haven’t peaked yet so let’s please keep working together to reach new heights. and I felt an extreme emotion, that in some ways everything I had done up until then had been worthless. When the book inevitably jumps into some new marker of success the reader absolutely has to know about, I'm often left wondering why this wasn't focused on more.It clearly tries to build this hero myth around the members of BTS, doing so mostly by boasting with numbers and surface-level beating-the-odds motivational clichés (an actual quote from the book: "– – BTS's accomplishments over those seven years followed the progression of what could almost be considered a classical hero narrative"). As ARMY, I loved how this book strove to portray everything fans love about BTS and to describe not just how unfairly they were treated but how unprecedented their path and subsequent success was. I wonder when these men even had the time to work on this though, cause we've been drowning in new music and other content for a while like.

A lot of quotes from the band members gave me deja vu, like I'd heard them in lives or interviews before. I truly wish them nothing but happiness and health in their future and I count the days until they can be together again doing what they love.

While reading this book, I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my face because I kept being reminded of all the emotions I've felt while stanning BTS. Through personal, stripped-back interviews conducted away from the cameras, BTS share personal, behind-the-scenes stories from their musical journey so far and discuss its significance for the first time. In fact, if we had thought a lot, it would have been harder, and because we were just seven really simple people, maybe that was what made it possible. Nevertheless, will doubtless be taking the book down from my shelf again and again just because it makes me smile.
