Seven good-looking boys—Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook—who can dance as well as they can sing, are tearing up the global music charts. Nothing new? Think again. BTS, who rose to fame in their native South Korea in 2013 and who sing almost entirely in Korean, are now an international sensation. Over the last three years, K-pop has steadily garnered a huge following among social-media-savvy teen girls. And with their clean-cut good looks, fabulously choreographed and perfectly executed dance moves, and catchy blend of pop, soft hip hop and r&b, BTS are leading the advance. They were recently profiled in US Vogue, the first K-pop band to be granted such an honor; they won the 2017 Billboard Music Award for Top Social Artist, beating Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez; they were listed by Forbes as the most retweeted artist on Twitter in March 2016, and their fanbase has ballooned since then; they were named in Time magazine's "Top 25 Most Influential People on the Internet 2017;" and they've recently embarked on a sold-out tour across the globe. Extensively researched, and written in an upbeat and accessible style, this book interweaves the success stories of each of the boys with how the band got together, while documenting their amazing rise to fame in Southeast Asia, and then the world.

Als ich BTS: Die K-Pop Superstars gelesen habe, fand ich das Buch sehr interessant und informativ. Es erzählt viel über die Entstehung von BTS, ihre Karriere und ihren Weg zum weltweiten Erfolg. Besonders spannend fand ich, wie die Mitglieder vorgestellt werden und welche Schwierigkeiten sie auf ihrem Weg überwinden mussten. Mir hat gefallen, dass man viel über das Leben der Band erfährt, zum Beispiel über ihre Musik, ihre Fans (ARMY) und ihre Botschaften über Selbstliebe und Zusammenhalt. Dadurch habe ich die Gruppe besser verstanden und konnte sie noch mehr schätzen. Manchmal fand ich das Buch etwas oberflächlich, weil manche Themen nicht sehr tief erklärt wurden. Trotzdem war es leicht zu lesen und gut verständlich geschrieben. Insgesamt ist das Buch sehr gut für Fans von BTS geeignet, die mehr über die Band erfahren möchten.
