A Special Conversation of the Translations for BEYOND THE STORY 10-Year Record of BTS | Anton Hur

[@junepetersen442]

This book has made me respect, love and admire BTS even more than I did before. I love their raw, heartfelt, honest emotions in how they deal with their lives - both private and professional. They are just the absolute best! I am a grandmother who was introduced to BTS by my granddaughters! ARMY 💜💜💜🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@dawnMcCOT7]

The book was awesome. Thank you so much for translating it, so the English speaking Army could enjoy it too💜

[@jhty]

The English translation is fluid and beautiful. Reading the book is like watching a movie on the life of these 7 fine young men - full of honesty and reflection. More are coming for sure.

[@imajinallthepurple]

Very well said. I couldn't agree more. 💜

I'm in no way a translator and my knowledge of Korean is nearly nonexistent (it's Japanese I'm studying...slowly), but I am a writer and occasional freelance editor, and I want to say I deeply appreciate the work that the authors, interviewers and translators put into 'Beyond The Story'. I know it is a challenge to take the Korean commentary and narrative and put them into relatively colloquial English while still retaining the genuine feel of the original. I think that not only did the authors present a very detailed and clear story of BTS's history, they did an amazing job of interviewing the guys and letting them amplify and emphasize the memories and experiences that were most important to them. That this all comes across so well is due to the outstanding efforts of the translators. A big ARMY 💜 Thank You 💜 to everyone involved in this excellent, informational yet moving book.

I am a Silver Army (60+) and BTS inspired me to learn new language, appreciate other music genre & and be exposed to musicians from another country. I ordered and can't wait to read BTS story and accomplishments. From what I know so far, every member of BTS is a college graduate and young people can learn from BTS or BTS should be an inspiration to all!🥰

75 and ARMY forever. Borahae! Apobangpo!

Having read the book thank you so so much for this insightful interview. I really appreciate Anton's perspective on translating BTS' member's words specifically. It actually explains some things that seemed a bit weird upon first reading. I remember also reading "I want to die but I want to eat tteokbokki" - Also translated by Anton - and I was in such awe by the translation and the way it conveyed the real emotions expressed by the author. I had a similar experience with BTS' book, but even heightened since I'm an ARMY. Thank you Anton for the amazing work you and your team did - I am really happy you were the ones to do it, and I have a feeling RM did approve your lyric translations himself ;)

[@SilverSeaOT7]

I love my Book. I received it on the 10th and I just finished it on the 19th. I was thinking how smooth the translation was. You did a great job. They guys wanted ARMY to have the book On ARMY Day and you delivered. Thank you so much!

[@salieisthatgirl13]

Army truly appreciate your hard work and your colleagues effort to translate this book for us. Providing you had a short minimum time to complete it your team did a excellent job. This will be a book we will always cherish. BTS has millions of fans that l know thanks you as well. You have changed the lives of Armys. This is a book that BTS wanted for their 10th anniversary for Army. And because of you and your colleagues it became a reality. Armys love you and if we can do anything for you please don't hesitate..... Army OT7 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@Walklikeaduck111]

[@maryannbaxter73]

What a beautiful and respectful and ethic person is Anton Hur. We as ARMY are so grateful of him doing this with the most respect for BTS or ARMY. And thankyou for taking this huge endeavor and such a hard job to complete in so short time. Thankyou

[@crystalwhite287]

I’m reading this book now , up to chapter 3 so far, the English translation is perfect, it’s a very raw account of BTS trials and hardships they faced early on , but seeing how these 7 incredible talented young men worked so hard they were destined for success , it’s given me another dimension of this amazing group! 🙂💜

[@debbievandyke_culture]

I am ARMY and I would be lost without the translators! Thank you both for this excellent interview, and the great stories.

[@marilynfishel3843]

this conversation, so informative, delightful & respectful. thank you. an Army from the USA.

[@lilywrites4357]

Thank you so much Anton and your colleagues for the Hard work you guys did translating this long book in a short period of time. This means so much to us and thank you so much for doing this informative interview. Stay safe💜

[@umbragewoods106]

really hope that there will be another interview for the translator after the books are out!!!!! pls!!!!!

[@subobing3551]

That was so interesting! I think that would be a great job, especially to translate something that will mean so much to so many! Thank you!

[@em5522]

Big kudos to the translators with all of their efforts. And I really like how they structured their translations. I do amateur translations and often, I find some of the most difficult things to do are choosing whether or not to use direct translations and trying to convey the author's intentions behind their words, esp when direct translations doesn't work the same way in the translated language. So, I really appreciate your approach to this translation to make the English translation so easy and captivating to read, esp with how you convey the original work, and esp with all the translation restrictions placed on you.

[@marujaasis1325]

Great interview! Thanks, Anton, for your work.

[@eileencritchley4630]

Thank you for all your hard work translating this book. It had me in tears a few times. Thank you both for this interesting and infomative interview. Borahea.

[@faribasoltanian599]

Thank you.🙏💜

[@poppette1978]

thank u so much for this interview 💜

[@mari61313]

the book is an easy read. It's a book that you can easily speed-read and still understand the context. I've read mine twice already.

[@imajinallthepurple]

Honestly, if you're ARMY to the point of buying the book you wouldn't be confused at all by them using nicknames like Hobi. We already know all of their nicknames. Heck, we probably have nicknames for them that they don't even know about! 😂

[@pinaytravelsinuk5852]

Thank you! 💜

[@kuakajenpekalongan8720]

I can't wait this book

[@roseline5684]

Thank you

[@maryannbaxter73]

Wow I am going to read it in Spanish and English just to appreciate the differences in the translations.

[@lealarsen2017]

those birds was really annoying but overall a really amazing interview and i love that he respect BTS another translator who didn´t knew about BTS and know what they are like in general, would not have been able på do this.

[@margplsr3120]

I had 2 books - in polish and in english :-) I try to learn korean so maybe someday I will read it in korean (I highly doubt it but ... )

[@maryannbaxter73]

Could someone give me the name of the book Anton mentioned at the end of the interview?

I'm sorry, but isn't it beyond the story? Not scene?

[@jhty]

The book title is Beyond the Story: 10-year Record of BTS

[@613mhj]

@@jhty Yes. I guess the title here have a typo. It's given as Scene here, instead of Story

[@jhty]
