BTS is Releasing ‘BTS: A Little Golden Book Biography’

This September, a new book from the ‘Little Golden Book Biographies’ series will introduce BTS to children’s book shelves.

 Young readers will be introduced to the seven-member K-pop phenomenon with the forthcoming publication, ‘BTS: A Little Golden Book Biography’.  The book, which was written by Jan Ann and illustrated by Hyesung Park, will provide a kid-friendly look into the band’s ascent to international renown.

 The group’s incredible journey, from their early days of sharing a tiny one-bedroom dorm to playing in sold-out stadiums all around the world, is highlighted in this graphic biography.  It chronicles how RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook rose from modest beginnings to become global superstars.

A hectic year for both BTS and their loyal fan following, known as ARMY, coincides with the book’s release date.  Jin is getting ready for his own solo tour, while J-Hope is currently touring the world.  After everyone has finished their required military service, the group is expected to get back together later this year.

In October 2022, BTS conducted a huge free concert in Busan, South Korea, named ‘Yet to Come’, which was one of their most noteworthy recent performances.  Fans from all over the world attended the event, which bolstered the city’s bid to host the 2030 World Expo.  Shortly after, BigHit Music stated that the members would begin fulfilling their military responsibilities, calling it the proper timing and an honour for the group.  After Jin finished his service in June 2024, J-Hope did the same in October 2024.

 The purpose of the ‘Little Golden Book Biography’ series is to expose young children to significant personalities in politics, sports, and music.  Icons, including Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé, have appeared in earlier titles.

The book ‘BTS: A Little Golden Book Biography’ is releasing in September 2025.
