Chapter 3, 4 and 5 are are titled ‘Love, Hate, ARMY’, ‘Inside Out’ and ‘A Flight That Never Lands’. These feature footage from their breakout 2015 hit ‘I Need U’ and clips of the septet in concert as the size of their venues continue to grown.
The final two chapters of Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS are called ‘The World of BTS’ and ‘We Are’. These capture BTS as the global superstars they have become, featuring clips from Billboard Hot 100 hits such as ‘Boy With Luv’, ‘ON’, ‘Dynamite’ and more.
According to the video’s description, pre-orders for the “original edition” of Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS begin today (June 15) at 11am KST. The book is set to be released on July 9 at 7:09am KST.
Prior to the book’s official announcement, it was the subject of intense speculation by Taylor Swift fans. At the time, rumours that the book might be a memoir by the pop star turned it into a best-seller.
