BTS, the darlings of the KPOP industry, just dropped one of their most highly anticipated releases yet, but it is not music-it is their very first memoir, "Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS."
The seven-membered boy group has taken a hiatus to accommodate for several members who are currently serving their mandatory military enlistment in South Korea, while others have their hands full with solo projects.
BTS' fans sorely miss their KPOP idols as a group, despite being thankful for the constant solo content and the upcoming album Jungkook is about to drop, which is probably why when the memoir was released, fans wanted to get their hands on it as quickly as possible.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, "Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS" topped the overall book charts just hours after it was released on July 9. It became the top book on Amazon's best-selling memoirs chart, overtaking Paul McCartney's new book.

The new memoir is the very first book the KPOP group has released; and just like their other releases-which were all previous albums and EPs, it sold out fast.
The memoir comes in several different versions: there is the e-Book version and a hardcover version. The hardcover version retails at $27 on Amazon's website, while the Kindle retails for $29. 99.

What's Next, BTS?
While the book goes through BTS' history for the past 10 years, it leaves out a huge chunk-their future.
However, it will give fans-especially new ones-a chance to get to know the group more intimately, and even have access to several surprise features like QR codes leading to teasers and videos.
As per The Guardian, BTS' fans are having a frenzy over the book-which is selling fast-and some have been saving for a copy for weeks and months.
"I came here since 9 a.m. and I finally got this book," shared a Malaysian fan to the publication.
"Thank you for saving me when I needed it," another said. "I wish I could say more, but I am going to cry now."
These are the common sentiments of the KPOP group's fans, who have been waiting for this book to be released.
