BEYOND THE STORY - 10 ANS DE SOUVENIRS DE BTS

THE VERY FIRST OFFICIAL BOOK!

Published to mark BTS's 10th anniversary, this book reveals anecdotes that go beyond what has already been said about BTS and includes previously unpublished photos, QR codes to videos, and all the information on the band's complete discography.

After taking their first steps into the world on 13 June 2013, BTS will celebrate the tenth anniversary of their debut in June 2023. The iconic K-Pop group have risen to the top and become global icons. In this, their first official book, they look back on their journey. In doing so, BTS choose to take another step down a path that no one has taken before, and hope to make their contribution to a brighter future.

BTS shares personal stories, the behind-the-scenes of their journey, through interviews spread over more than three years of work in complete immersion by Myeongseok Kang, who has already written about K-pop and other Korean pop-culture in various media. Presented chronologically in seven chapters, from the early days of BTS to the present day, their striking voices and opinions harmonise to tell their sincere, vivid and profound stories. In unvarnished, camera-free one-on-one interviews, the BTSs approach their musical journey from multiple angles and discuss what it means to them.

The book opens with portraits showing the BTS boys as individuals and artists, but it also features concept photos, as well as the tracklists for all the albums and over 330 QR codes. As connected artists, the members of BTS communicated with the world via the internet, and this book gives readers instant access to trailers, videos of their songs, and more content, to better understand all the key moments in the band's history. Complete with a timeline of all the major milestones along the way, BEYOND THE STORY is a remarkable archive - everything you need to know about BTS in one book.
