BTS set to release 'Beyond The Story' book on their 10-year journey in July

Korean boy band BTS is set to release their book titled 'Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS' on July 9, 2023, coinciding with their 10th debut anniversary. The 544-page book will be published by Big Hit Music in Korea and is structured as an oral history of the band, with journalist Myeongseok Kang as a collaborator.

The book is already generating buzz among fans, as pre-orders helped the still-untitled book climb the bestseller lists on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It is rumored that the initial print run will be 1 million copies.

Translated into English by Anton Hur, Clare Richards, and Slin Jung, the book is expected to give fans a comprehensive look into the journey of BTS, one of the biggest K-Pop groups in the world. Since their debut in 2013, BTS has released nine albums and six EPs, contributing to the rise of K-pop's global popularity.


While the band announced a break last year to focus on individual artistic endeavors and to deal with pressure, two of the members, Jin and J-Hope, have since enlisted in the military in accordance with South Korea's mandatory conscription policy for able-bodied men under the age of 30.

Despite this, BTS remains a major force in the music industry, having achieved numerous feats such as debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart in 2018 with 'Love Yourself: Tear', and tying a record set by the Beatles with 'Love Yourself: Answer' and 'Map of the Soul: Persona' in 2019.
The release of their upcoming book is highly anticipated by their fans, known as the BTS Army, and is expected to be a must-read for anyone interested in the story behind the group's success.
