ma2109 's review for:
Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS
by Myeongseok Kang, BTS
honestly, just a fun biography. probably more fun bc im actually a fan and not a random person lmao. the chronological structure was well done, and so was the integration of direct quotes from the members' interviews. i also loved the qr codes at the bottom of the pages showing the songs and videos discussed in the main text. even the use of the song lyrics to explain/support some of the points the members were making was great. like so much of bts's identity as artists is their amazing lyricism so seeing that shine through was great. loved how each chapter correlated with a number of albums so having the album photoshoots at the start of each chapter was a great way of breaking up the book.
most active armys would know/be aware of most of the info in this and the events that happened. but like so many things happened but bts didn't talk about then or give their opinions. so this book sheds a lot of light on their personal opinions and emotions regarding many "incidents" that aren't the happiest usually.
i think its just so interesting to see how the pandemic completely derailed their plans. like the fact that map of the soul was meant to be a 3 part series (which would've made sense, looking at the jungian psychology its based of) with persona, shadow and ego being 3 separate albums but covid messed that up. the fact that from dynamite all the way to ptd was all basically improvised is just insane. like ik ppl have issues w their english releases but these songs are what they needed to be and really did pay off in the end.
no but im actually kinda disappointed the dumpling incident wasn't as dramatic as i thought it would be lmaoo. like those boys accidentally hyped it up wayyy too much. like the amount of times they've referenced it is wild.
