From H.O.T. to HOT 100

From H.O.T. to HOT 100: A Love Letter to K-Pop, BTS, and Everything In Between

What started with a dream in a tiny dorm became a global movement.

From the early days of H.O.T. and first-gen legends to the unprecedented rise of BTS, this book takes you on an emotional, electric journey through the heart of K-pop.

But this isn't just a history.

It's a celebration.

A memory box.

A thank-you note.

A quiet, tearful hug in a crowd of purple lights.

Inside these pages, you'll find stories of struggle, stardom, fan chants, flame wars, and fate. From the trainee tears and dorm-room ramen nights to stadiums full of love and United Nations speeches, this is the journey of seven boys - and the millions who believed in them.

And maybe... it's the story of you too.

To the world, they're global superstars.

To us? They're home.

This is for BTS.

This is for ARMY.

And above all, this is for you.
