Biography: BTS, an acronym of "Bangtan Sonyeondan" or "Beyond the Scene," is a boy band from South Korea that debuted on June 13, 2013. Throughout its 544 pages, the book features never-before-seen photos of the band, and over 330 QR codes for readers to explore trailers, music videos and more, bringing the key moments of BTS’s history to life. 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. Their genuine love and respect for one another, their passion for their music, and their devotion to ARMY fully come through in the pages of the book. 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.

I'm more than willing to wait for them and I promise to be there for them and cheer louder than any person on earth when they all eventually come back to us.For a memoir, the book is very clean and lacking in personality, and despite the fact that it repeats the word "genuine" and all its synonyms like a mantra, it remains feeling inauthentic. Numbers getting bigger doesn't actually carry much emotional weight without well-built context and it seems that they're supposed to pack the punch that an actual narrative would have provided to the story, yet fail miserably. BTS’s relationship with ARMY, formed thanks to the internet, became their unintended path to salvation. Complete with a timeline of all major milestones, Beyond the Story is a remarkable archive -truly everything about BTS in one volume.

The fact that despite what they faced, they still became the people we know today is a miracle in and of itself. Beyond The Story is finally out and as promised it is an astounding record that delves deeply into Bangtan's active years before and after their debut in 2013.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. Their vast and diverse discography filled with songs about self-love, self-acceptance, self-discovery, friendships, relationships and so many other important issues along with their sincere lyrics, their outstanding performances and their humble, entertaining and genuine personalities are just SOME of the reasons why BTS will always have a special place in my heart.
