Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS

Product Information

This repeats, and combined with other issues, such as unrelenting corniness in the place of actual emotion, it gives the book a childish tone.

I love it because in this group, no matter how much our hearts break, we only love the stage even more. BOTTOMLINE: BTS has a beautiful story to share with us, and if you’re a fan, someone curious, or simply an enjoyer of biographies, I recommend this book with all my heart. There are groups above us when it comes to popularity, and groups below us, too, but I don’t think there are any groups like us. BTS’s relationship with ARMY, formed thanks to the internet, became their unintended path to salvation.I had to admit there were moments that made me laugh a little (see: Joon nearly having a mental breakdown at the 2017 America interviews), and I loved several segments on Yoongi and Namjoon (and even Chim) that accurately showcased the kind of introspective people they are. Or maybe they've been at it for years and we only learned about it now, with the tannies you never know. Respect and support all 7 forever 💜 Let’s stay active in the fandom and try to make things more positive and fun so BTS can come back to fans they can be proud of. It's written in an approachable way for fans and newbies alike, and the 300+ QR-Codes added make it easy to check out content the text refers to, from songs to MVs to variety shows to interviews. This is because the whole book feels hopelessly surface-level, only sometimes dipping down into something interesting in the quotes from the members.

In doing so, BTS nurtures the power to build brighter days and they choose to take another step on a road that no one has gone before. Sometimes it read like a news report or a cover story, and then sometimes like a memoir, which was jarring. Still, it would have been nice to explore some humanizing aspects more in detail — for example, when RM had to confront that his great hip hop influences had a culture of misogyny and how he in response worked to improve his perspective — but the book merely mentions and moves on from these in-depth moments of development, as though it’s afraid to acknowledge the members as having any flaws at all. I liked the music and the video, but what really cemented my becoming an ARMY was reading the translations of the lyrics to their songs.Complete with a timeline of all major milestones, BEYOND THE STORY is a remarkable archive—truly everything about BTS in one volume. The book isn’t all celebratory, it definitely does touch on moments of other people in the industry being disrespectful towards them, targeted hate campaigns, and also moments where BTS made mistakes, but that doesn’t overwhelm the story. They have risen to the peak as an iconic global artist and during this meaningful time, they look back on their footsteps in the first official book. Its about them as performers, about them as a group and thats why the book refers to members by their stage names; RM instead of Namjoon, V instead of Taehyung, Suga instead of Yoongi etc.

It clearly tries to build this hero myth around the members of BTS, doing so mostly by boasting with numbers and surface-level beating-the-odds motivational clichés (an actual quote from the book: "– – BTS's accomplishments over those seven years followed the progression of what could almost be considered a classical hero narrative").
