Bts the Review

by Youngdae Kim

[lyx]

I suppose I expected more from this book, maybe too much.

The interviews offered different perspectives on the "BTS phenomenon", but personally I didnt learn much or gained a whole lot of new insight.

I'd say it's probably a good read if you are interested in the music industry and curious about the "BTS phenomenon" or if you are a newer or huge fan of them.

The book was repetitive at times, which while understandable - seeing as it is basically a collection of interviews, articles, and short album reviews - is still bothersome if you read more than a couple pages per day.
I also had some issue with the way certain aspects were presented and phrased. Yes, the book is obviously focused on BTS and aimed to highlight their success, but it still seemed unnecessarily biased at points. If this was intentional or just the way it came across to me, I can't fully say, especially considering I read the English translation, not the original Korean text.

All in all an okay read, but it sadly didn't live up to my expectations.
