“Beyond the Story” serves as the first official book of BTS, chronicling their music career from pre-debut days to the present while also looking ahead to their future endeavors.
The book takes the form of an oral history, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and interviews that provide insight into their journey. It includes photos, tracklists of previous albums, and over 330 QR codes that allow readers to access trailers, music videos, and more online.
The 544-page book, written by journalist Myeongseok Kang, has been translated into English by Anton Hur, in collaboration with Clare Richards and Slin Jung.
Initial details about the book had sparked speculation about Taylor Swift’s involvement due to coincidences related to numbers and dates, which align with Swift’s affinity for easter eggs. However, the book primarily focuses on BTS and their fandom.
