There are always so many silly articles on how can something become a phenomenon. My argument there has always been that that is not who BTS are, because there is so much hard work behind them while phenomenons come to sudden and soaring fame - BTS earned every single bit of it and reading this book to peak behind the curtain of what boys and the company are willing to share with us has been a wonderful read.

It's a great book for fans because it's easy to connect the stories to special moments ...more

5 estrellas claro que si aunque podrían estar un poco biased pero la verdad es que lloré cómo siempre lo hago cuando escucho a los tannies hablar de su pasado y sus anécdotas, hay cosas que no se sabían como tal y esta fue una oportunidad para que ellos se abrieran libremente y dieran su versión, el escritor hizo un muy buen trabajo recopilando toda la información claramente y los traductores se lucieron (vi que solo tuvieron 1 mes para prepararlo) mis respetos.

Saben que BTS es mi banda favorit ...more

tudo o que eu sabia dos bts antes de ler o livro era que um deles se chamava jimin, e só conhecia duas músicas, os feats com a halsey e com o coldplay. fiquei em choque ao ler o título do livro e descobrir que eles tem 10 anos de banda, achei que eram mais recentes e novos de idade, inclusive, descobri que o mais novo tem a minha idade (fun fact: terminei de ler esse livro no dia do aniversário dele).

então conheci a história deles através deste livro. foi muito interessante conhecer um pouco mai ...more

"maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday's me is still me. Today, I am who I am with all of my faults and my mistakes. Tomorrow, I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that'll be me too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I am, for who I was, and for who I hope to become" - namjoon.

sempre grata por um dia ter encontrado eles, por hoje tê-los e por poder compartilhar esses momentos com amigas ...more

Great book for fans about the FORMATION of BTS. Very little private information is shared about each member but you get insights into their ideas and feelings regarding songs, processes of the industry and dance.

I think this book is too short & didn't cover alot of the concurrent projects they had going on at the time - otherwise, this book couldn't have been produced or sold so fast.

The best is yet to come no doubt - along with the gossip, rumors, and more on bts (behind the scenes), no doubt. ...more
