Hey lovelies!
Can you believe that we are already halfway through the year? For BTS fans like myself, June 2025 is one of the most important months in the history of BTS. All members will officially be returning from the military and the group will be reunited after 2 and a half years; I for one cannot wait! 💜
I felt like doing something a little bit extra for this month and centre my blog posts around BTS, KPOP, and South Korea (my travel post is in the works)! I know that this might not be to everyone's taste but since I use my blog as a scrapbook for my memories and inner musings, I thought that I would really enjoy it. Who knows, I might even gain a whole new group of readers!
First up, I have my reading list for June 2025! Much like my blog, I wanted to focus my book choices around BTS and/or Korean Literature. If you follow me on my BookTok or Bookstagram then you will know that I have already read a couple of short stories within the Korean Literature genre. Unfortunately, I was left extremely disappointed so I'm hoping that I'll find something else in the genre that will really pull me in.
My goals for this month are to read/finish the following books:
BTS: Beyond The Story by BTS & Myeongseok Kang - A book written over the course of three years through interviews with the members of BTS. I'm already halfway through this book but I really want to keep going and get caught up with all the behind the scenes details from some of their most challenging times but also some of their happiest times too!
On BTS: Pop Music, Fandom, Sincerity by Lenika Cruz - This adorable purple coloured book has been on my TBR list for quite a while so I am very excited to start reading it this month. It's described as "A love letter to Korean pop sensation BTS and an ode to fandom". The book details Lenika's journey into the fandom as well as BTS's own journey into a part of the music industry that is much less inclusive.
I would love one more suggestion for my list so please leave me a comment or message me on my TikTok or Instagram! I'm wondering if Human Acts by Han Kang would be a good option, let me know!
Until next time...
Love always, Stephanie
xoxo
