BTS - Icons of K-Pop

Seven men. Ten years. 48 million Twitter followers. 27 billion YouTube views. 30 billion Spotify streams. Sold out world tours. BTS are a global phenomenon - this is their story.

Fully revised and updated for a second time, this edition of the bestselling biography is the definitive account of BTS’s journey from their trainee days to the explosive global breakthroughs of ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Butter’, their retrospective compilation album Proof and their blossoming solo endeavours, exploring how this group of guys from South Korea have taken over the world.

RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook can sing, dance and rap, and write and produce their own music too. From humble beginnings at a small agency to topping charts all over the world, their story is truly incredible, and testament to the amazing talent and hard work of each of the members. Their dedicated fanbase, ARMY, have supported them through thick and thin, celebrating triumphs alongside their idols and pushing them to ever-greater heights.

Extensively researched, and written in an upbeat and accessible style, this unofficial biography interweaves the backstories of each of the members with the narrative of the band as a whole, their modest debut and their astonishing rise to fame in their home country and beyond. It also includes 8 pages of full colour photographs of the band performing, posing and having fun.
