About this listen
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.

Story
Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her—what to call it?—depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends, performing the calmness her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a yen for her favourite street food: the spicy rice cake, tteokbokki?

In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian-American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food.

So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

After years of trying to embrace the American part and shunning the Korean side of her Korean American identity to fit in, Hannah finds that’s exactly what now has her on the outs.

Behind the parties, the hedonism, the lavish stage costumes, and silly glasses lies a more somber story. Between disputes with managers, legal wranglings, public breakups, and divorce, John has been faced with serious health problems and drug addictions.

Story
For Cody Alan, one of country music’s most famous on-air radio and TV personalities, listening to other people has always been a crucial part of his role. It was by fostering his ability to hear others that he discovered the person he most needed to listen to was himself. Listening ultimately led him on a journey of self-discovery where he found the courage to come out as gay, the openness to question spiritually, and the strength to explore a new definition of parenting and family.

Story
For almost a century, Americans have been losing their hearts and losing their minds in an insatiable love affair with the American musical. It often begins in actors and reaches its passionate zenith when it comes time for love, marriage, and children, who will start the cycle all over again. Americans love musicals. Americans invented musicals. Americans perfected musicals. But what, exactly, is a musical?

Womack's colorful retelling of how this landmark album was written and recorded is a treat for fans of the Beatles.

Story
With more than 90 million records sold and eight Grammy Awards throughout its 40-year history, Earth, Wind & Fire has staked its claim as one of the most successful, influential, and beloved acts in music history. Now, for the first time, its dynamic lead singer, Philip Bailey, chronicles the group's meteoric rise to stardom and his own professional and spiritual journey. Never before had a musical act crossed multiple styles and genres with a quixotic blend of astrology, universalism, and Egyptology as Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) did when it exploded into the public's conscience during the 1970s.

Story
Elliott Smith was one of the most gifted songwriters of the 90s, adored by fans for his subtly melancholic words and melodies. The sadness had its sources in life. There was trauma from an early age, years of drug abuse, and a chronic sense of disconnection that sometimes seemed self-engineered. Smith died violently in LA in 2003, under what some believe to be questionable circumstances, of stab wounds to the chest. By this time fame had found him, and record-buyers who shared the listening experience felt he spoke directly to them from beyond: astute, damaged, lovelorn, fighting, until he could fight no more.

Ben Greenman, New York Times best-selling author, contributing writer to The New Yorker, and owner of thousands of recordings of Prince and Prince-related songs, knows intimately that there has never been a rock star as vibrant, mercurial, willfully contrary, experimental, or prolific as Prince. Uniting a diverse audience while remaining singularly himself, Prince was a tireless artist, a musical virtuoso and chameleon, and a pop-culture prophet.

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. 💜💜💜
