The story of BTS’s rise to fame and enlistment will be turned into a comic book in the United States, Reuters reported on Friday.
The 22-page comic strip about the group will be available Wednesday in print and digital.
It will describe how the seven singers rose to fame – and their transition from pop stars to soldiers, according to Reuters.
The comic will be part of TidalWave Comics’ American comic book series “FAME”, which features the life stories of famous people, including singers, actors and star athletes.
BTS’ version will cover the story of the group’s rise to popularity since its debut in 2013, detailing its journey as it released numerous hit songs, engaged in charitable activities and became a pop star worldwide.
The seven members of the group are currently completing their mandatory military service.
The eldest member, JIN, enlisted in the military in December 2022, followed by the other six members J-HOPE, SUGA, RM, V, JIMIN, and JUNGKOOK. J-HOPE joined the military in April 2023, and RM, V, JIMIN and JUNGKOOK in December 2023. SUGA is currently a social service officer.
All members are expected to return by June 2025.
“FAME” previously featured celebrities like singers Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, 50 Cent, actress Jennifer Lawrence and footballer David Beckham as main characters.
