Publisher's summary

THE FIRST EVER OFFICIAL BOOK

Published in celebration of BTS’s 10th Anniversary, stories that go beyond what you already know about BTS.

After taking their first step into the world on June 13, 2013, BTS celebrated the 10th anniversary of their debut in June 2023. They have risen to the peak as an iconic global artist and during this meaningful time, they look back on their footsteps in the first official book. In doing so, BTS nurtures the power to build brighter days and they choose to take another step on a road that no one has gone before.

BTS shares personal, behind-the-scenes stories of their journey so far through interviews and more than three years of in-depth coverage by Myeongseok Kang, who has written about K-pop and other Korean pop culture in various media.

Presented chronologically in seven chapters from before the debut of BTS to the present, their vivid voices and opinions harmonize to tell a sincere, lively, and deep story. In individual interviews that have been conducted without a camera or makeup, they illuminate their musical journey from multiple angles and discuss its significance.

BEYOND THE STORY is a remarkable archive – truly everything about BTS in one volume.

Narrated respectfully

I rarely listen to audiobooks because I'm picky with narrators but this was beautifully done.

Wow

I have been an ARMY for a few years now, and I already knew most of their story. I loved this!
The narration was really good. 👌

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH

BTS so kindly let’s us get to know them personally.
I probably see and know more about them than some friends or family.
Through their honesty and social media interactions I have grown to love them as my own. Their ages are exactly the same as my kids. So, I feel very protective of them.
RM I feel did a lot of the thinking work, took his responsibilities as the leader to a new extreme. Suga, as his side hustle fitted in so perfectly with RM and BTS themselves. Jin, the motherly, caring, dad jokester creates the smooth velvety vibe from its members to the army. JHope is as someone in the audio told him….you’re legitimately THE HOPE o& the team! Jimin is the shy one who still hasn’t come to the realization of how powerful he is on his own let alone within the band. I hope the person who wanted to cancel him before the team debuted is eating humble eggs. V is going to bring jazz back to mainstream youngsters. And is the $$$ maker via brands alone! Jungkook with his new single SEVEN is THE BEST ever. BOTH VERSIONS. even though it may have caught us off guard……it is something we’ve heard over and over on radios TV. Etc, without even a blink of the eye. But we all expected Jungkook to be the maknae forever? I men, it’s 10 years since his debut, with myriads of growth along the way.
He.is.25 yo. He is thinking, talking, thinking just like all other 25yo. Nothing wrong with that ❤️

Worth the wait!

I waited anxiously for the audiobook version to drop. When it did, it was well worth the wait. The content covered the significant milestones of BTS, as well as their journey that transcended even their own wildest dreams. Their success were truly deserving as they worked and toiled endlessly, mastering their craft and delivering their best each time, in every medium chosen. I love how this book covered the cornerstones of their history to date and went through great lengths to describe the bond they have with ARMY and each other. Very well written and brilliantly narrated. Excellent pacing culminating to a finish that was true to BTS. The best is yet to come but the story so far has been rewarding, humbling and life affirming. Thank you for this book. This ARMY is truly grateful. 💜💜💜
