This South Korean group is at the forefront of the K-Pop wave sweeping the globe
With a phenomenal string of No. 1 albums plus hit singles like Dynamite, ON, Black Swan, and Life Goes On, BTS is on an unstoppable path to greatness!
BTS: ONE is a celebration of the K-Pop group’s international charttopping success as well as the unified community they’ve inspired throughout the world. Including nearly 100 full-color photographs, fans are provided an in-depth look at the lives of RM, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, V, Jin, and Jungkook.
This completely up-to-date volume explores their ever-evolving sound, artistic influences, far-reaching activism, and special relationship with ARMY, whom Jimmy Fallon called “the most loyal, positive, and fun fans that you can ever dream of.”
Buku pertama yang saya baca soal BTS. Bukunya tidak mendalam, cuma bahas BTS sekilas aja. Tapi saya jadi tahu betapa berbakatnya mereka. Mereka latihan 12 - 15 jam sehari, gila banget.
Dengan etos kerja yang sangat luar biasa -dan agak ekstrim itu- BTS menembus banyak rekor dunia, memiliki fans yang fanatik, dan menjadi salah satu artis dengan penghasilan terbesar di dunia, sekitar $3,5 miliar.
For an outsider looking in, this is a great review of the impact of BTS. But the thing I hate the most is how the book is filled with only and only praise for BTS. I stan BTS and I love their music. But I also understand that artists can never only be full of praises. The book doesn't give a critical commentary.
I guess I should cut this a little slack, but the author referred to Jin talking about his hyung Jungkook... takes a 2 second google search to see that is a totally wrong term. She's using hyung in the place of brother, which it is not.
A small detail I noticed, and I'm not Korean, which makes me wonder what else would be incorrect.
I learned more about each member and about them as a group than I thought I would. It was fun to read this book leading up to their new album Proof. I am beyond excited for their comeback! I hope I get to watch them perform live someday~
