The hottest boy band in the world is headed to bookstore shelves.
BTS, the South Korean pop group that’s become a worldwide phenomenon, will publish five new graphic books featuring the lyrics from some of their best-known songs, Billboard reports.
The songs featured in the project are “Save Me,” “Run,” “A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone,” “Butterfly,” and “House of Cards.” The books are being published by Big Hit Entertainment, the company that manages the band.
“With ‘Graphic Lyrics,’ we are introducing a new way of enjoying music for the first time with BTS songs and are planning to continue the series with Big Hit’s multi-label artists as well,” the company said. “We expect the ‘Graphic Lyrics’ series, which captures the sensitivity of paper books by translating music in writing and painting, to be a unique experience not only for BTS fans but also for the public audience.”
BTS is the most popular band in the K-pop genre, having sold more than 20 million albums since their debut record in 2013. The group regularly sells out concerts across the globe, and are the most successful pop band in South Korean history.
The five “Graphic Lyrics” books are set for publication on June 29.
