BTS' 'Beyond The Story' Becomes Instant Best-Seller Within A Day: BTS, the popular K-pop group, has expanded their accomplishments by venturing into the world of literature recently. Their first book, titled 'Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS,' co-written with Myeongseok Kang, editor-in-chief of Weverse Magazine, was released on Sunday. Within a short span of time, the book achieved remarkable success, reaching the number one position on the Amazon Best Sellers list by Monday.
Not only did the group consisting of Suga, Jungkook, V, Jimin, RM, Jin, and J-hope achieve the number one position on Amazon's general best sellers list, but their book also secured the top spots on Amazon's Best Sellers in Memoirs and Best Sellers in Rock Band Biographies lists.
As BTS commemorates their 10-year journey, their book, which chronicles their story, was meticulously crafted over a span of three years of research and more than two years of interviews. Divided into seven chapters, the book takes readers on a chronological journey through the remarkable narrative of BTS.
The chapters include: "SEOUL," "WHY WE EXIST," "LOVE, HATE, ARMY," "INSIDE OUT," "A FLIGHT THAT NEVER LANDS," "THE WORLD OF BTS" and "WE ARE," according to the release. 'Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS' came out in 23 languages including English and Korean.
Solo Projects of BTS Members:
Despite announcing a break last year, BTS wants to emphasise that they are not disbanding or going their separate ways. "We're going into a hiatus now," Suga had said in Korean a more than hour-long video on YouTube.
In an official statement from Hybe, the South Korean entertainment company representing BTS, it was clear that the group will continue to actively engage in both group and individual projects. Contrary to rumours of a disbanding, the statement confirmed that BTS members will be exploring solo endeavours while maintaining their collective activities.
BTS Upcoming Projects:
In the meantime, BTS members have been keeping themselves occupied with various activities:
Suga has been actively participating in tours.
J-hope made history as the first South Korean act to headline at Lollapalooza.
Jimin finally released his highly anticipated debut solo album.
Jungkook performed at the World Cup and recently dropped a teaser of his upcoming summer track titled 'SEVEN'.
V has been involved in an upcoming reality television programme called 'Seojin's' on tvN and is also diligently preparing his solo debut album.
RM has achieved remarkable milestones with his solo album "Indigo," becoming the first Korean soloist to reach the Top 3 of the Billboard 200 album chart and the first Korean male soloist to have an album spend at least five weeks on the Billboard 200.
