Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS

Product Information

Suga himself was challenged on this notion when he had to work with in-house producer El Capitxn to complete “ Ddaeng” (2018) in the necessary time frame. Though he’d been afraid of “slight imperfections,” he realized that the level of work didn’t suffer because of it. This change of philosophy freed him to pair with El Capitxn to produce for other artists like Epik High, Heize, IU, and Psy.

As ARMY, I loved how this book strove to portray everything fans love about BTS and to describe not just how unfairly they were treated but how unprecedented their path and subsequent success was. This is very much a book for ARMY, in that it is a loving portrait of BTS, but in that same vein, I found I learned almost nothing new about the band in spite of the detailed history. It felt like a nostalgic recap. A few months later, Jimin released his mini-album FACE. Jimin topped the Billboard 100 chart with the single from the mini-album “Like Crazy” on April 3, 2023—the first for a BTS member and the first for a Korean solo artist. Suga also released his debut studio album D-Day on April 21, 2023 and embarked on a sold-out world tour. V and Jung Kook have yet to release their solo projects.The book is divided into seven chapters, each offering a unique perspective on BTS’s history. Starting from before their debut, the chapters are titled “Seoul,”“Why We Exist,”“Love, Hate, Army,”“Inside Out,”“A Flight That Never Lands,”“The World of BTS,” and “We Are.” Through interviews and personal stories, the members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—open up about their experiences, struggles, and growth as artists. to come out during ARMY’s birthday. Here’s what we know about the details of their first book chronicling their lives as one of the biggest music acts of our time. A team spearheaded by a group of underground rappers that included a middle schooler who had just started lessons needed more than just cohabitation to cohere into a group⸺they needed some form of alchemy.” I have been an ARMY since 2014. I have spent almost an entire decade with BTS, starting from my mid teens up until my early 20s.

Lots of things were happening, which overlapped with things like our standing at the time, and I think I was trying to hide. Inside my shell.” Brandle, Lars (2023-06-15). "BTS Take Fans 'Beyond The Story' With New Book". Billboard . Retrieved 2023-07-11. The book, which BTS co-wrote with journalist Myeongseok Kang, arrives on 9 July in celebration of their 10th anniversary. The July date also marks the day (aka ARMY day) that the fandom name ARMY was confirmed. The way I see it, all of us members are ridiculous. We’re quite feral and therefore stubborn to the end. I love it because in this group, no matter how much our hearts break, we only love the stage even more. “So I fell down, no big deal,” that kind of sentiment.”With BTS currently on hiatus due to military conscription, its members are pursuing solo projects. For Suga, that means a bold new rap album and sold-out arena shows. 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. It all starts from the dorm full of trainees and it shows how much these people have grown, both personally and musically, throughout all these years. SUGA recalled that their American television debut, in 2017, had been on the same stage for the same awards show (at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles). When the group won artist of the year, he couldn’t help thinking someone had made a mistake — or the world was playing a prank on him.
