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

bought the audiobook for this and it has really helped me keep my attention focused!!

i might become an audiobook girlie 🫣 because i really enjoyed listening to the audiobook while reading along!

chapter 2 was SO sad to read about oh my god... they went through so much as trainees and in their first 2 years of debut 😭❤️‍🩹

"their preparations led up to a debut with a small happy ending." 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

the shit pre-debut and debut bangtan had to deal with is making me so emotional... all these young teenagers (jungkook being 15!!) living in a dorm by themselves, working 14 hours a day in the practice rooms and going to bed at 6am, all being on strict diets to be able to show off their abs for a music video... 🥲 idols should never have had to deal with this back then and even now!!

yoongi did WHAT? HE DID WHAT WITH THE CHICKEN BREASTS????? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

wanted to start this before going to bed and already... 🥲 just getting this little look into predebut bts is soooo fun & interesting! but there was one little part during jungkook's introduction that made me feel so gross, like why. WHYYYY were producers asking 13 year old jungkook back to their *HOTEL ROOM* to film his singing. hm? HM?? (rhetorical question, i think i know why & it's just disgusting)
