'Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS' is the story of BTS, told by themselves and written by South Korean journalist Myeongseok Kang alongside the BTS members. A story spanning 544 pages, detailing an incredible 10-year journey (so far).

Rumours about the book started a while ago, and was initially only rumoured to be a nonfiction book about a "global pop phenomenon". Early speculations pointed towards a book about Taylor Swift, but it has since been confirmed that it's the story about the global K-pop sensation, BTS.

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.

'Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS' arrives the same year that the BTS members will enlist in the military, making it the perfect summation of a magnificent era for BTS and K-pop in general.
