Apart from albums, concerts and cute merchandise, K-pop idols would also release a photobook series showing either behinds-the-scenes of some of their projects, the holiday destinations they visited or extras from one of their photoshoots. Actor Kim Seon Ho (김선호) previously made waves when he featured Dataran Merdeka and KLCC in his latest photobook series.
It looks like another Korean star is going viral for his photobook. BTS’ V (뷔), real name Kim Taehyung (김태형), announced his “TYPE 1” photobook on BTS’s Weverse account earlier this week. The idol has been posting teasers of the new product on his Instagram stories and fans couldn’t help but drool profusely (not literally though) over the content. Here’s why:
As seen above, V’s “TYPE 1” photobook features photos of the singer posing shirtless in multiple scenarios at different spots of, what appears to be, an unspecified holiday location. The photos were taken by photographer Hong Jong Hyun who has previously worked with other global superstars such as BIG BANG, BLACKPINK, Tilda Swinton, Rita Ora and Lara Stone.
As expected, ARMYs were overwhelmed by the half-naked image teasers of the “Winter Bear” artist ever since they were posted on the social site. Many took to Twitter to express their thirst for the “Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth” star by keyboard smashing in their quotes and replies. It’s safe to assume that fans were definitely lost for words.
Despite still serving in the military, BTS members would still find a way to keep their fans entertained. If you’re an ARMY and you want to purchase V’s “TYPE 1” photobook, you can pre-order it starting today at 10am (Malaysian time) on Weverse. The photobook will officially be released this Saturday (29th June).
