Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS
by Myeongseok Kang, BTS
emotional
informative
reflective
This book made me feel all the emotions!
I loved seeing the journey BTS has gone through, from their early training days to their rise up to the Grammy stage. Seeing all their albums, the behind-the-scenes, and the ideas that made them all up was beautiful. It was like a glimpse into their minds. Seeing the quotes from all members made it feel authentic and added depth. What I felt the most compelling was seeing the balance of fame and idolization with the darker side: loneliness, depression, exhaustion, and pain. Their loss of privacy and alienation at points provided fans with another point of view. Their gratitude to their fans was apparent at several points in the book while still showing the personal toll it takes on them.

One thing I wish could have been touched more upon was their concepts. I would have loved to see the connections between their music and performances and their inspiration. Overall this book just solidified my love for BTS and the reasoning behind being an ARMY.
