À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Celebrate Jungkook, the once-in-a-generation talent at the center of BTS, in this illuminating look into the forces that have made him a global icon.

Jungkook's first album, Golden, sold more than two million copies on the day of its release and stayed on the Billboard 200 for twenty-four consecutive weeks. How did a young prodigy from South Korea make music history?

The Meaning of Jungkook is an unofficial exploration of what has made Jungkook into the triumph he is today. The book does more than chronicle his humble beginnings in Busan and meteoric rise to fame. It places Jungkook in a larger cultural and historical context, shedding light on the inner workings of the K-pop industry, internet culture, BTS's fanbase known as ARMY, and more. We learn that Jungkook's ruthless work ethic comes out of Korean culture and its singular pursuit for excellence; that his style of dance places him in the lineage of Michael Jackson; and though his appearance meets high Korean beauty standards, he also subverts them with irreverent piercings and tattoos.

This is an unauthorized tribute to the singer, for both his fans and others interested in the genre. Monica Kim has delivered a tour de force, filled with vivid detail, that makes sense of the world of a music icon who has captured the devotion of millions of fans worldwide.'
