The memoir has been written by the journalist, Myeongseok Kang, and the members of the group including Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. The English translation of the book has been done by Anton Hur, in collaboration with Clare Richards and Slin Jung.
Release date of Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS
The release of Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS is slated for 9 July. The book’s original release date was supposed to be 13 June, which earlier made Taylor Swift fans speculate that it was she who was releasing a memoir. However, now that the cat is out of the bag, the BTS ARMY is more than excited to see what’s in store for them.
The significance of the release dates
Both the dates — 9 July and 13 July hold great significance in Taylor‘s life. 13 is her lucky number, and she had also highlighted the date, 9 July, in her most recent album announcement. It was natural for Swifties to think that the mystery book is about her. However, these dates hold great significance for BTS members also. 13 July is the day when BTS marked their debut in the music world. 9 July is the day when BTS’ devoted fan base (Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth aka the ARMY) was formed. The release of the book — Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record of BTS will overlap with the 10th anniversary of the fan group.
