Watch BTS’ “BE” Album Decorating Photo Cards Photo Sketch

When BTS released their heartfelt album “BE” in November 2020, they didn’t just drop a record-breaking, emotional body of work, they also gave ARMY a piece of their heart. In a year filled with uncertainty, loneliness, and longing, BTS found unique ways to bridge the distance between themselves and their fans. One of the most personal touches of the “BE” album release was the decorated photo cards, where each member of BTS added their own hand-drawn doodles, messages, and creative flair to their images.

It wasn’t just another merch inclusion, it was an act of sincerity. These photo cards became a reflection of their personalities, creativity, and their love for ARMY, packaged in a compact keepsake that made fans feel infinitely closer to their favorite artists.

In most K-pop albums, photo cards are a staple, a collectible item fans eagerly anticipate, often featuring stunning visuals of the idols. But BTS took it a step further with “BE.” They didn’t want to just show off their visuals. They wanted the cards to feel like handmade letters, like postcards scribbled on during a long night of reflecting on life, music, and connection.

Each member took part in decorating their own photo cards. The results were a mix of heartfelt, funny, cute, and artistically expressive. Every mark and every sticker added by the members gave their cards a one-of-a-kind touch, setting them apart from typical polished merchandise. It was another reminder that BTS is never content with “just enough” they always strive for meaning, no matter the detail.

Jimin’s photo card decoration was delicate and warm, much like his personality. He used soft colors and playful doodles, adding stars, hearts, and smiley faces that reflected his loving energy. His message to ARMY was simple, yet powerful: full of gratitude and hope. Jimin has always worn his heart on his sleeve, and his photo card embodied this openness.

His fans noted how the colors and decorations he used mirrored the emotions in “Life Goes On” the lead single of BE. Through just a few markers and shapes, he created a sense of comfort and encouragement.

Jungkook, the youngest of the group, is known for his artistic talents, from sketching and painting to filming and editing. His photo card was no exception. He added bold, fun elements to his image, combining his playful side with his sharp artistic eye. His use of bright colors, cool lines, and stylized doodles made his card feel youthful and confident.

ARMYs praised Jungkook for his evolving artistic expression, noting that even in a small photo card, he managed to express layers of himself: the idol, the fan of art, and the ever-curious creator.

Taehyung brought his love for vintage art, photography, and unique visuals into his photo card. Known for having an aesthetic sense that’s both refined and whimsical, V’s photo card decoration was nothing short of eye-catching. He played with patterns, added abstract shapes, and signed off with a small message in his recognizable handwriting.

He’s always spoken about the beauty in simplicity, and his photo card had a minimalist yet impactful vibe. ARMY could almost see the world through Taehyung’s lens, soft focus, nostalgic, and effortlessly stylish.

Jin’s photo card decoration was full of charm and wit, just like him. He didn’t hold back on the humor, adding cheeky captions, fun emojis, and a dose of his signature worldwide handsomeness. His doodles often included food references or silly faces, turning his photo card into a tiny canvas of fun.

Fans loved how Jin never takes himself too seriously, even while being globally recognized for his visuals. His decorated photo card was a mood booster, reminding everyone that a little laughter goes a long way.

SUGA’s photo card decoration was calm and understated but filled with feeling. Known for his introspection and depth, he kept his visuals simple but meaningful, adding small symbols, personal words, and minimalistic art. His use of space and color made the card feel balanced and thoughtful, like a quiet message whispered just for ARMY.

Even though he’s not one for excessive decoration, the intention behind each choice he made stood out. His card felt like a silent hug, grounded, comforting, and sincere.

J-Hope’s photo card was as bright and energetic as he is. His decorations included colorful patterns, radiating sunbursts, and smiley faces, complemented by a heartfelt message full of love and cheer. Known as BTS’s “hope” and mood-maker, Hobi’s card felt like a mini-celebration of joy and togetherness. His cheerful scribbles and motivational words were a perfect reflection of the healing message of BE. J-Hope made sure that ARMY smiled the moment they saw his card, mission accomplished.

RM, BTS’s leader and lyricist, always finds a way to blend intellect and creativity. His decorated photo card featured a mix of neat handwriting, symbols, and personalized notes that showed how deeply he thinks about ARMY. His choice of decorations reflected balance and sophistication, nothing too flashy, but deeply expressive.

One corner might include a star. Another might hold a tiny quote. Each piece added up to form a poetic message, just like his lyrics. RM’s photo card felt like a thoughtful conversation between him and the fans.

These photo cards weren’t simply collectibles, they became keepsakes of the “BE” era. They captured a moment in time when BTS and ARMY leaned on each other more than ever. With no world tour, no large crowds, and limited face-to-face interaction, the decorated cards served as personal letters. They symbolized the closeness BTS continues to maintain with their fans despite the miles.

Fans from around the globe took to social media to share their joy upon receiving the cards. Many expressed how it felt like holding a piece of BTS’s heart. Some fans even began decorating their own cards, inspired by the members.

From handwritten messages to self-directed music videos, and now to personally decorated photo cards, BTS continually proves that their artistry is rooted in sincerity. With “BE,” they opened the door wider, letting fans see behind the curtain, sharing their thoughts, their fears, and their hope for a better tomorrow.

The decorated photo cards weren’t just about aesthetics, they were about connection. About saying “thank you” in the most personal way possible. About making fans feel remembered and appreciated. And in true BTS fashion, they turned even the smallest gesture into something unforgettable.
