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, QR codes of videos, 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 QR codes. 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.

So far love this book, am still reading
by VJAC
A beautiful well made book. I’m not sure if there is any new information in the book, but it does collect the information together along with quotes from all of the members. There are plenty of QI codes throughout, to give extra content. The one criticism that many people have made is the relative lack of photos. However, this is not a “coffee table” book; it is about the motivations and progress of BTS and the internet is awash with BTS pictures if that is all you require. Well worth the price.

The book itself can’t be faulted! a very good read.
the amazon package it came in was horribly under protected. it was just packed with in a cardboard box, with one but of crumpled packing paper, and no other padding, with some metal parts i’d ordered which sadly damaged the book cover as they werent separated or package protectively in any way, all just thrown in together with no thought.

Beyond The Story: 10-year record of BTS by Myeongseok Kang and BTS, translated by Anton Hur, Slin Jung & Clare Richards
Filled with plenty of anecdotes and info direct from the members themselves, this book is an in-depth record of the group’s story that takes us from the beginning to the heights of their deserved successes. We journey through their vulnerable moments, and timely factors that contribute to their global stardom.
It’s readable, accessible and engaging.
Cleverly translated from the original voices, you can capture a sense of their true personalities through their words. There are QR codes that link to various video and online content that BTS have produced. Check them out – they really do enrich the reader’s experience adding another layer to the narrative.
I really hope others catch a glimpse of the true depths of love, dedication and mind blowing hard graft BTS put in to their team, and for their fans. Alongside supportive Bighit, and of course their families, I love how they still humbly acknowledge where they have come from and move forwards with reflective respect.

???? Beyond the Story tells their story behind the scenes, all their struggles and success throughout BTS’ career. Rather than talking about the content of the book itself, which is a looooot, I want to talk about the way the book is made.
???? The paper pages are of great quality. It is a hardback that weighs like 1.5kg… but when you open it, it stays open!! I had to use a pillow to be able to read it, though ???? I liked the fact that they add QR codes throughout the pages, to check some of the content that is being discussed on those pages. There is content from their earlier days that I had never seen. It helps to see how they evolved into what they are today. It also has pictures of the guys before every chapter.
