A book about the decade-long journey of K-pop sensation BTS is coming next month.

The group's management agency Big Hit Music on June 15 said it will release on July 9 "Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS" to commemorate the first decade of the boy band.

The publication date of July 9 marks the day in 2013 that BTS' official fan community Army was officially launched.

The book's nine chapters cover topics like Seoul; reason for existence; love, hatred and Army; inside out; a flight without landing; the world of BTS; and us, describing the reflections of the group's seven members on their activities and pledge to achieve major progress.

Other content includes interviews with the members on their efforts, concerns and growth process over the past decade from the time of their debut to their ascent to the peak as "21st century pop icons," as well as changes and developments in K-pop.

"Beyond the Story" will be released in 23 languages including Korean, English, Japanese and Vietnamese. Advance sales began on June 15.
