BTS: Icons of K-Pop

Good

Bought this for my daughter who’s getting into K-pop and she zoomed through it. It tells the story of the rise of BTS with chapters on each of the members and there’s also a collection of photos of the band. The style seems easy-going and accessible, and there’s a good glossary explaining the Korean terms, which I read so that I could follow what she’s talking about! I’d describe this is an excellent introduction to K-pop, but it seems packed with detail and I’m sure any BTS fan would get a lot from it.

I purchased this for my daughter and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Packed full of information on this talented group and with some great colour pictures, this would be a welcome buy for any BTS fan

Overall a great book. Bought for my little sister, not many photographs but still, a good purchase.

I AM A HUGE ARMY AND I LUVVVVVV THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!! It's a great book explaining everything about BTS full of Colourful Pictures & Lots of text . It explains everything from predebut to Loveyourself era. Bought this book for my friend, she absolutely LOVED it . I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is an ARMY!!!!!! An awesome gift for an ARMY !!!5/5 stars for this book!! Remember , LoveYourself ,LoveMyself !!!!!!!ARMY'S FOREVER FIGHTING!!!!! BANGTAN SONYEODN FIGHTING !!!!!!

Little folded on the top of the book on the front cover only. But still okay. I thought will be wraped first to avoid any scratch or so then put inside buble wrap. The book looks excellent, my friend loves it. Many pictures too inside. Printed classy style and good quality of papers.

I’ve read so many books/articles on BTS that have mistakes, misspellings, incorrect information, photos that are labelled wrong etc. HOWEVER, I’m very happy to report that this was not the case here. This book is very well put together. The research is extensive, the contents factual and the exploration from quite literally day 1 to present day is extremely thorough. BTS are obviously 7 but I love how this book takes the time to showcase each members individuality too. I don’t just mean a brief write-up though. I’m talking in depth, start to end accounts of who they are both on and off stage including some fantastic inside jokes and tidbits. You don’t just learn about RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook as musicians. You also learn about Namjoon, someone who loves art, reading and culture. Seokjin, a guy who loves fishing and cooking. Yoongi, a cat dad and the most laid back person you could ever meet. Hobi, a total ray of sunshine. Jimin, the sweetest, softest soul. Tae, our king of duality who I’m 99% sure was born in the wrong era and JK, the people’s prince, social media fanatic and guy who falls asleep whilst live streaming to millions of people. BTS are genuinely unlike any other music group I’ve been a fan of and this book gives you a great insight into what makes them so special and unique. They’ve broke barriers, world records, and blown achievements that were previously held for decades out of the water. They’ve spoken at the UN, met presidents, donated to so many causes, raised awareness and helped so many people in so many different ways. But the way we see them is the same way they see us. ARMY are BTS’ proudest moment and are always at the forefront of their minds. Towards the end of the book is a brilliant example of this - how they dealt with the pandemic. They continued working, releasing new media, an album, singles, online concerts and more. They didn’t stop and they never missed a beat. They wanted to be a constant for people during such uncertain times. ~ I say the same thing to anyone who asks me about BTS - just take some time to listen to their music and watch their videos and you’ll get it! But do you know what, i’m going to add ‘read this book’ to the suggestions list too 💜 Thank you to Adrian Besley and anyone else involved for providing this impressive, authentic account that includes the good, the bad and the ugly. Major props to the ARMY involved because things like Jimin, you got no jams, the mandu incident and the dreaded YouTube hiatus drama?? I see you 🫶🏻 This is a gift to ARMY and a fantastic book to read if you find yourself wanting to know more about those 7 Korean guys you’re seeing everywhere who seem to be taking over the world.

The wife loves BTS and although this is an unofficial book, its full of loads of interesting stuff about the group.

I gifted the book my daughter, 11 years for one of birthday gifts. She became a big fan of BTS after she watched RM of BTS speech, Love Yourself in UN. His speech was powerful and amazed all my family. We all turned around to read the book then have figured out how each of seven members have made a lot of efforts to be populist a boy band on the planet. However, the book, BTS is beyond it.

the book is really good amazing for armies.it even has photos and quality is really amazing💜💜

I just love this. Perfect for any army... Love u BTS❤️♥️

This is so funny, my daughter is all about K-POP! She just loves BTS, I'm just glad that they are still "somewhat" pure.

I really liked it but the font of this book is not so good.There are plenty of mistakes in this book
