THE FIRST EVER OFFICIAL BOOK—
Published in celebration of BTS’s 10th Anniversary, stories that go beyond what you already know about BTS, including unreleased photos and all album information.
After taking their first step into the world on June 13, 2013, BTS will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut in June 2023. 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. 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.
BTS shares personal, behind-the-scenes stories of their journey so far through interviews and more than three years of in-depth coverage by Myeongseok Kang, who has written about K-pop and other Korean pop culture in various media. Presented chronologically in seven chapters from before the debut of BTS to the present, their vivid voices and opinions harmonize to tell a sincere, lively, and deep story. In individual interviews that have been conducted without a camera or makeup, they illuminate their musical journey from multiple angles and discuss its significance.
In addition, portrait photos that show BTS as individuals and artists open the book, and throughout there are concept photos, tracklists of all previous albums, and over 330 links to videos. As digital artists, BTS has been communicating with the world through the internet and this book allows readers to immediately access trailers, music videos, and more online to have a rich understanding of all the key moments in BTS history. Complete with a timeline of all major milestones, BEYOND THE STORY is a remarkable archive—truly everything about BTS in one volume.

“This book is the most amazing work of art I have read in a long time. As Army it is a must read! I have so much more depth of perspective on each of bts's songs. there is so much behind every lyric, more than I knew. even the English songs that I mistakenly wrote off as a product of burnout has so much more depth of feeling now! This book gives a look into not only the music industry and behind the scenes of becoming an idol but also a peek into the BTS members personalities and motivations.”savs_serendipity

It made me feel closer to the BTS members and the songs that I’ve loved for years. Their passion from the very beginning even before their debut was so fierce. I’m really grateful for this book and I’m beyond proud of everything they’ve achieved.”EM RM

The book added another layer to Bangtan lore. I could not be any more proud to be ARMY and want everything wonderful these "seven normal boys from Korea."”Paola Tabares
