The personal touches and vulnerability these seven men gave are breathtaking.

I've followed, as an ARMY, since 2014, a few weeks after they released the Skool Luv Affair album. Their song, Boy in Luv, captured my attention, and their personality kept me coming. Many of their hardships were not shown to the public, as they told in the book, but it was noted that they could see the hate just as well as ARMY could from then and even now.

I genuinely appreciate BTS when they took the time to document and relive their past to write this and give ARMY something special for the 10th anniversary.

I love them but also interesting to learn a bit about the kpop Industry. 
Also, scooter Braun better not ruin it for BTS. He's like a red flag for me

informative slow-paced

As much as I love BTS, this book felt like a pretty dry and formal stats-based summary of BTS’ career. Also, as someone who knows most of their career and doesn’t really care for the data of their sales and stuff but more them as people, only like 15-20% of this book is BTS’ actual thoughts and opinions. Also I didn’t need the amateur hour analysis of each lyric/song from BTS like I have a working brain I can do that myself. Anyways this book was fine, and perhaps a good book for people who don’t know anything about BTS, but was very mid for me (hence why it took me nearly two years to finish the damn thing 😭)

informative inspiring

My favorite parts of the book were the direct quotes from the guys and I wish we had way more of them. The flow of the narration wasn't my favorite, not sure if something was lost in translation. But it just didn't vibe with me, and at times it got really repetitive. That said, I love BTS and I'm glad I could get a glimpse into their creative process. It's also a great collectible item for any fan of the group.

Ein rundum gelungenes Buch. Die Einbindung der Interviewabschnitte, der QR-Codes und Songlyrics ist unglaublich genial.

UGHHHHHHH
I loved this so much. Worth every penny, every hour spent reading, every tabbed page. It was so, so good. I laughed and cried. And I fell more in love with my band. ❤️
