Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS

Product Information

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.

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. A team spearheaded by a group of underground rappers that included a middle schooler who had just started lessons needed more than just cohabitation to cohere into a group⸺they needed some form of alchemy. The quotes are where this book sometimes finds direction, but still the topics are often left too soon: RM's thoughts on the misogyny scandal, their relationships to the labels 'artist' and 'idol', SUGA's ever-changing relationship to music or the anxiety he mentions multiple times. Complete with a timeline of all major milestones, BEYOND THE STORY is a remarkable archive—truly everything about BTS in one volume. I figured I'd be able to have a variety of experiences if I were an idol and an actor at the same time.

Of course we didn’t know their inner thoughts on everything, but there aren’t too many revelations present here.

We worked together so much and talked with each other so much that little by little, we really did feel we were becoming a team.It was wonderful to hear the members’ perspectives on the different ups and downs they’ve had as a group. 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. They have been embraced the world over, transcending nations, races, languages, gender, and generations for their music, their passionate performances, and their close connections to their fans.

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. I'm too blessed to have met them in this life" said by Jhope about the members perfectly sums up how I and millions of others feel too.BTS and ARMYs went through so much struggles together and every achievement took a lot of hard work, but we are not done yet, ARMY. Beyond The Story is finally out and as promised it is an astounding record that delves deeply into Bangtan's active years before and after their debut in 2013.

Some of them are in the military, some of them are touring the world and some of them are working on their solo albums, but I constantly feel like they're right beside me, just like I've always felt since the moment I met them in 2014. I'm so grateful they're in my life and I'm so grateful for the comfort and the happiness they've brought to my super mundane, miserable and lonely days. Beyond the Story was released internationally on Sunday 9 July 2023 and is available to purchase now. Firstly, am not gonna lie, I thought the book will be more on the individualistic level, an indepth analysis of them as a person. This repeats, and combined with other issues, such as unrelenting corniness in the place of actual emotion, it gives the book a childish tone.

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. I wouldn't go into it expecting to learn much (more) about them personally, or in any way unrelated to the band, though.
