Japanese ARMY have always had a special connection with BTS, and Taehyung’s stunning visuals and artistry in the teaser clips clearly hit the mark.
The trending frenzy was sparked by the release of preview cuts for the Map Of The Soul: ON:E Exhibition Photobook, a limited edition collector’s item set to showcase exclusive behind-the-scenes concept photos and performances from BTS’s unforgettable ON:E online concert.

Taehyung’s performances during the concert were among the highlights, with fans praising his stage presence, vocal depth, and choreography. The upcoming exhibition photobook serves as a nostalgic treasure for ARMY, offering a deeper look at the concept shoots and behind-the-scenes preparations for the monumental event.
As excitement continues to build around the ON:E exhibition photobook, fans are eagerly awaiting the full set of concept photos and the eventual release. Many have already set reminders to pre-order, knowing how quickly BTS merch tends to sell out.
With each teaser, Kim Taehyung proves that he is not only a member of the world’s biggest boy band, but a stand-alone star with unmatched charisma, beauty, and influence. His ability to trend globally with just a few seconds of screen time is a phenomenon few can achieve.
