According to a report in Hindustan Times, the US publisher Flatiron Books shared an update on Instagram which stated, "Who is excited?... #BTSbook."

Currently, the memoir is on the top of Amazon and Barnes and Noble bestseller lists after pre-orders by fans are already in the running. The memoir will be a 544-page book according to the details mentioned on the official Amazon page.
The launch date also has a special connection with the K-pop group as it is a tribute to the BTS fans aka ARMY as they came into existence that day, 10 years ago. The United States edition of the book will thus be translated by Anton Hur with Clare Richards and Slin Jung Hur as the official publishers.
As soon as the official release date was announced, a fan wrote on Twitter, "I'm so looking forward to the book... It's so cool to be able to look back on the last 10 years with BTS." Another user wrote, "Will I be able to buy it since the competition is so global," while another user added, "With the BTS memoir and all the BTS magazines and photo folios, I'm pretty sure my coffee table is going to be more bookshelf than the table."
BTS is one of the most popular Korean boy bands across the globe and consists of seven members mainly, "RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. The group was formed in 2010 and debuted in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment with their single album '2 Cool 4 Skool.' The group since then has delivered several hits over the years including, 'Blood Sweat and Tear', 'Run BTS', 'Butter', 'Dynamite', 'Permission To Dance', and 'Yet To Come.'

Currently, the group is on a hiatus as the members are focusing on their solo careers as well. On the other hand, after Jin, J-Hope became the latest member to join the military for their mandatory 18 months of army service.
The leader of the band, RM will most likely be the next member to enlist in the army, whereas others will follow their timeline and will soon reunite as a group in 2025.
