According to HYBE, the 224-page photobook showcases V’s downtime, capturing him in his natural element. V was hands-on throughout the entire process, from choosing the location to designing the photobook.
The result? A collection of intimate moments V wants to share with ARMY.
However, fans were quick to remember a certain claim V made last year during an episode of Suga’s show, Suchwita. He had confidently dismissed any ideas of BTS’s “chapter two” involving shirtless photos.
“I saw that there are ARMYs who think that chapter two is about taking our shirts off. But I repeat… chapter two has nothing to do with taking our shirts off.”

Cue the spicy shirtless photos in “TYPE 1,” and ARMYs couldn’t help but playfully call V out on his “false advertisement.”
The irony wasn’t lost on anyone, and the fandom buzzed with good-natured teasing about V breaking his promise. But they couldn’t be happier he did!
