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

Just a well-written and very interesting book. Also very quotable, I can't wait for my physical edition to arrive so I can go through it again and highlight my favorite passages (my first time doing that, I'm nervous and excited)

Anyway, feels weird to have finished a whole 540 page book in just about two days after struggling with reading books for so long, the power of BTS!

It's also really fascinating to me that this book covers so much of their 10 year career and yet barely scratches the surface of everything - that's just how big BTS is and how long and eventful their journey was and still is, it's truly fascinating

I guess it had to do with being a relatively new ARMY and only learning about things in a non-linear way and having to constantely update the timeline in your head by jumping from event to event - like, of course I knew about a lot of the things told in the book, but seeing it layed out chronologically and in context like this gave me a deeper understanding of everything

I'll post a full-length review in a few days after letting the book really sink in, but I can already say that it changed how I perceive BTS and their music, in the sense that I feel even more connected to the two and have a deeper understanding of certain things

Okay, that ending came a bit abruptly, but it's also kind of fitting, considering BTS' story is far from over and the best is yet to come

It's over?

Hobi's last words made me tear up, their relationship with each other and with us is so beautiful. 아포방포 💜

Ugh, Scooter Braun, fuck that guy

I was a baby ARMY during the Grammy 2022 performance and I think it was even the first live performance of theirs I watched and I remember gasping and screeching in my bed at 3 am when I saw the Butter choreo
