A review by cozyspice
Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS by Myeongseok Kang, BTS

4.0

To the shock of no one, I loved this book. While nothing in here was particularly revelatory to me, it was incredibly special to be able to read it all from their perspectives and with all the little nuances that entails. What it drove home for me was that it both is and isn’t miraculous that BTS came to be who they are today. Miraculous in that there were so many obstacles and hardships that could’ve easily derailed their entire careers, and unmiraculous because there was no way these seven boys were going to be anything but superstars. Their love for their fans and each other, their passion for what they do, and the work they put in to get to where they are has never been more evident than in these pages. Can’t wait to see what comes next.

One critique: I really wish the translators/editors were not given the explicit instruction to only use their stage names in the making of this book because I think it loses a lot of personality as a result.
