BTS Launched Trailer Of Their Upcoming Photobook for Their “Map Of The Soul ON:E” Concert

BTS has unveiled the much-anticipated teaser for their Map of the Soul ON:E concert photobook, and fans around the world are buzzing with excitement. The 49-second teaser, released across BigHit’s and BTS’ official platforms, offers a powerful glimpse into the unforgettable virtual concert that captured hearts in October 2020. With stunning visuals, emotional stage moments, and the names of the iconic songs performed during the record-breaking show, the teaser has successfully reignited the excitement of one of BTS’ most significant live performances to date.

Set to a cinematic tone, the teaser opens with dramatic, stylized clips of all seven BTS members, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, on stage in vivid high-definition. Each frame is crafted with intention, showcasing different themes and eras from their Map of the Soul journey. From powerful group formations to intimate close-ups, the teaser captures the essence of BTS’ artistry and emotional connection with their audience.

The photobook teaser also cleverly integrates the titles of the songs performed during the concert, which include fan favorites like “Black Swan,” “ON,” “DNA,” “No More Dream,” “Dionysus,” and “We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal.” As each title flashes across the screen, ARMY is instantly transported back to the live experience, an emotional rollercoaster that, for many, marked one of the most meaningful BTS moments during the pandemic era.

Held virtually in October 2020, Map of the Soul ON:E was BTS’ first online concert after the cancellation of their Map of the Soul world tour due to COVID-19. The two-day event was broadcast live across the globe and became a landmark in digital performance history, not just because of the scale of its production, but also due to the emotional intensity and the innovative use of technology like augmented reality (AR) and extended reality (XR). It broke streaming records and garnered millions of viewers from more than 190 countries, proving once again BTS’ unmatched global influence.

The photobook serves as a physical memory capsule of that momentous event. More than just a collection of images, it’s a way for fans to relive the performance, not through a screen this time, but in their hands. Each page is expected to feature high-quality photos of the performances, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and candid shots of the members, offering fans a deeper look into the creative vision and emotional significance behind the concert.

For ARMY, who deeply value tangible collectibles from the group’s milestones, the photobook release feels particularly special. During a time when live shows were impossible and physical distance grew heavy, Map of the Soul ON:E became a powerful symbol of connection. The photobook is a tribute to that bond, between BTS and ARMY, between the past and present, and between music and memory.

Social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Weverse quickly lit up with reactions after the teaser dropped. Hashtags like #MOTS_ONE_Photobook and #BTSMapOfTheSoulONE trended in several countries as fans expressed their joy and anticipation. Many shared their favorite moments from the virtual concert, from V’s emotionally charged “Inner Child” stage to Jungkook’s powerful choreography in “My Time,” to the group’s collective unity in the explosive encore performances.

What makes this photobook even more sentimental is its timing. As BTS continues to evolve and members prepare for solo ventures and military service, the photobook becomes more than just a memento—it becomes a piece of BTS history. For many fans, it’s a way to preserve the magic of OT7 (all seven members together) before new chapters unfold.

The photobook also speaks to BTS’ consistent ability to connect with their audience through multiple mediums, be it music, performance, visual storytelling, or physical collectibles. Their deep understanding of what moments matter to fans continues to drive their creative direction, and the Map of the Soul ON:E photobook is yet another example of their dedication to celebrating their shared journey with ARMY.

With pre-orders expected to launch soon, excitement is already building about the details, cover designs, special inclusions like photocards, exclusive interviews, and perhaps even QR codes for bonus content. As always, BTS has a way of turning every release into a special experience, and this photobook promises to be no different.

In just 49 seconds, BTS reminded fans of the unforgettable emotions, performances, and unity that Map of the Soul ON:E delivered. And with the upcoming release of the photobook, they’re offering ARMY a chance to relive those moments, not just in memory, but in something they can hold, revisit, and cherish forever.
