Ggcd1981⁷’s Reviews > Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS > Status Update

It's emotional ending this book. I wish there was more. I wish there was more personal anedoctes, but this is not the objective of the book. I remember in the book when they were thinking of disbanding, how they gathered by chance one by one at the hotel bar or something, because in the end they are a family and the book leaves us with this message. BTS r a family and they love army with all their heart.

As I am nearing the end I wish there was more personal anecdotes and it wasn't so focus on their public careers. But I enjoyed learning of their feelings during the pandemic. They feeling their pandemic success was too abstract. I also enjoyed learning more of the ColdplayxBTS collab. Chris Martin really put in a lot of work for the guys and ended up like a kind of role model of an artist for them. Heartwarming.

The part of the Speak yourself Tour brought back memories of when I went to BTS concert back in 2019. The best show of my life. My heart hurts reading how dejected Jin gets for not learning the dances as fast as the other members. Also how Yoongi struggles with anxiety due to their success. I love them.

Tae's thoughts on their 1st daesang, Jin's feelings on writing his 1st song, Yoongi's anxiety for the AMAs performance, the 2018 crisis and how it reflected on the LY Tear music. All of these and others r important insights that I loved to learn. The weak point of the book is the repetition, especially of album titles. I also wish the book would go a little more in depth in their personal feelings on the situations

We BTS fans knew that their first few albums had highs and lows, but I am enjoying learning what exactly were these highs and lows and reading the interview insights that the members give about those times. My only criticism is that the author can be a bit repetitive, repeating facts and lyrics.

Though most of the history I already know I am loving the insights the interviews with the members give. I am also loving the small anecdotes from BTS past.
