Seven men. 78 million Instagram followers. 30 billion YouTube views. 47 billion Spotify streams. Sold out world tours. BTS are a global phenomenon – this is their story.

Fully revised and updated for a third time, this 2026 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 they write and produce their own music too. From humble beginnings at a small agency to topping charts all over the world, their story is 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.

Since the last edition in 2023, the story of BTS has entered an exciting new chapter. As members released chart-topping solo music and fulfilled South Korea’s mandatory military service, anticipation for their return has only grown. By June 2025, all seven had completed their service and reunited, thrilling fans worldwide with the announcement of a brand-new group album and a global tour set to kick off in spring 2026. This updated edition captures that pivotal moment – when seven individuals come back together as BTS, ready to begin the next era of their extraordinary journey.
