The Big Book of BTS: The Deluxe Unofficial Bangtan Book

Product Information

The scant available details about the book were read as clues by both fans of Swift and BTS. The author and subject were initially set to be revealed on 13 June: 13 is Swift’s favourite number, but the date is also the 10th anniversary of BTS’ first single, No More Dream. Curious about his writing? There’s also Letter to Father, Amerika, The Castle, and more; some of his works were published posthumously. Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami I was worrying my head off as to whether I could continue my life as a trainee. It was really hard for me, the act of living itself.”

There was a strong sense of being rewarded. That we’d done something together as a group⸺I was overwhelmed by that feeling, I think.” Now, however, no matter what the world might say, BTS are BTS. They no longer need any other word to describe themselves.”The Connect BTS e-book is a comprehensive guide to the entire BTS Connect project where the artists have been introduced along with the works they have contributed to the project. For instance, in the BTS Connect art gallery of Buenos Aires, Argentian artist Tomas Saraceno has displayed his artwork which depicts a perception of a new world as he calls for a new epoch 'Aerocene'. Similarly, London Gallery presented the artwork of Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steenson who dubbed his artwork 'Catharsis', a digital simulation of re-imagined old-growth forest, portraying the artwork through 3D textures.

Of course we didn’t know their inner thoughts on everything, but there aren’t too many revelations present here. I was hoping for a bit more in terms of learning completely new things about what was going on away from the public eye. Also, at times bits of the story felt kinda sanitized or glossed over. If history books are the answer sheet to the present, then our sunbaes (seniors) who did music before us are our answer sheet, right? However, with us, we had to deal with an additional something else.”

BTS, a seven member group from South Korea, has taken over the world with their many talents, hard work, and charms. Along the way, their leader RM has given fans BTS book recommendations for their own reading. Who is BTS? I really appreciated how the focus was put on music and how the author retraced every step they took in the industry by constantly mentioning albums, songs, concepts and eras, while also including their personal struggles, aspirations and dreams in the process. Moreover, the idea of providing links to basically everything they were discussing was so useful and really made the whole book interactive and much more cohesive. I highly suggest you open these links to fully appreciate Bangtan's career and also how much work was put into this book in general. Both Suga and RM recommended this debut work of author Won Pyung Sohn. It is a story about overcoming one’s weaknesses and stepping out of comfort zones.

I think I grew a lot, in a lot of ways. The members didn’t teach me specific things, but I can see them in the way I talk and act. SUGA’s thoughts, RM’s words, Jimin’s actions, V’s unique style, Jin’s cheerfulness, j-hope’s optimisim... things like that all came into me one by one.” The Wind’s Twelve Quarters is a book that contains different short stories. RM has read “Those Who Walk Away from Omelas,” which is a story in that book, per SBS Australia and Soompi. Published in celebration of BTS’s 10th Anniversary, stories that go beyond what you already know about BTS, including unreleased photos, QR codes of videos, and all album information.

Kafka on the Shore is one of Murakami’s most well-known works, like Norwegian Wood and 1Q84. It looks like RM really likes his books because Soompi, SBS Australia, and Koreaboo all mentioned him as an author that he’s read. There are groups above us when it comes to popularity, and groups below us, too, but I don’t think there are any groups like us. BTS are in a position unique to BTS.” The latter won the Man Asian Literary Prize and SBS Australia reported in 2018 that RM read this book.When you do this work, you feel a big disconnect. Separate from my idol career, I was nothing at that age. I would have been nothing if I hadn’t ended up doing music.” Demian by Hermann Hesse was a book read by all BTS members. The book left a strong impression on BTS, such that it was heavily referenced in their album Wings.

Not that we were doing it for the money necessarily, but I wonder if we should’ve at least been paid enough to buy a meal, and a lot of times we weren’t paid even that.” Lots of things were happening, which overlapped with things like our standing at the time, and I think I was trying to hide. Inside my shell.” The main characters William Traynor and Louisa Clark find each other at an important time in their lives, and a relationship develops. What happens next? As romance readers know though, it’s never that simple. Me Before You is the first in a trilogy, After You (Book 2) and Still Me (Book 3). Apart from those who loved and supported us, everyone else felt like an enemy. We were really worried about how much criticism we’d get if we put even a foot out of line.”BTS shares personal, behind-the-scenes stories of their journey so far through interviews and more than three years of in-depth coverage by Myeongseok Kang, who has written about K-pop and other Korean pop culture in various media. Presented chronologically in seven chapters from before the debut of BTS to the present, their vivid voices and opinions harmonize to tell a sincere, lively, and deep story. In individual interviews that have been conducted without a camera or makeup, they illuminate their musical journey from multiple angles and discuss its significance. The oldest member of the band, Jin, began his military service in December, with J-Hope following in April. The members of BTS: Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, have achieved a lot and won numerous awards; both domestically and internationally. Also notable is the love that they receive from their fans, ARMY—which the members reciprocate, often saying how grateful they are. Actually, I don’t think we were people who lived life thinking about so many things. In fact, if we had thought a lot, it would have been harder, and because we were just seven really simple people, maybe that was what made it possible.” When people kept asking us when we were debuting, to a trainee that’s really... that question is like a knife to the heart.”
