Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS

Getting proper insight from BTS themselves was both intriguing and heartbreaking. Hearing of how they were treated in the early days and their thoughts and feelings throughout their career was very eye opening. Looking back on moments in the past 10 years and now knowing their thoughts behind them has made me look at things with a fresh perspective.

oh my tannies, what words can i say to you that will express the deep love and fondness i have for you? 💜💜

I bought this book when it was first released, so so excited to read in more depth and detail this amazing story about seven ordinary yet extraordinary boys from different parts of Korea, how they changed music for the better…..all from the love and appreciation they had for music in the first place. their story is a true underdog story. it’s hard not to love them, how genuine and down to earth they are, their aspirations and dreams- it’s so so beautiful to see it all in depth.

I will be honest, i cried during a lot of parts in the book. (top two: talking about breakwings in detail and end of her/tear era where they were so close to disbanding; i was sobbing like a baby, had to read these parts in my room alone bc i was inconsolable 😭) they have gone through so much- right off the bat they had to deal with hate from others who would belittle them, under estimate them. it’s honestly heartbreaking, reading it makes me think that they were so strong to have to endure so much from the moment they debuted.

i may be biased ranking this 5 stars but honestly, it’s beautiful and it’s well written. since this book was done along with interviews of the tannies through a span of 3 (?) years, i appreciate the author describing the mood, the facial expressions and tone of each member when those interview portions would appear (which is 90%) even to the point of describe how they would speak and their thoughts behind it bc they (bts) would of stated it. it made me feel like i was their with them and that i could view their story from such an intimate and personal level 💜 all in all, this a beautiful book that’ll sure make army even more proud of our tannies and even readers curious about bts, appreciate their journey from truly humble beginnings to stardom on a flight that never lands 💜🥹
