BTS EPISODE: Permission to Dance: On Stage — Live Concept Photo Shoot Sketch

Jungkook, looking around at all the snacks: "There's a lot of stuff we can take home after the shoot!"

Jin: "Jungkook's definitely going to take some stuff home."

RM: "Hey, Jungkook!"

Jungkook: "Yeah?"

RM: "You haven't changed one bit from 2013."

Jungkook: "What? In 2013…"

RM: "It's good to be consistent."

Jungkook: "They say consistency is the key to success!"

This might be the only store where you don't need a Costco membership to buy Kirkland products. TAKE EVERYTHING HOME, BOYS!

On that note, I still can't believe they were gatekeeping this from us for THREE YEARS. THREE YEARS!!! (I guess it was worth it, though; the Permission to Dance: On Stage — Live album sounds so good and makes me feel nostalgic for the Las Vegas show I went to in 2022. The BigHit/HYBE planning department is really something else.)

You know what's truly criminal? THEY KEPT THESE PHOTOS FROM US FOR THREE YEARS. THREE. YEARS. (And yes, I obviously bought the full set. BTS' planning team is nothing short of pure fucking genius.)

J-Hope - "Charm of Hope" Concept Film & "Killin' It Girl" Concept Photo Shoot Sketch

"I've got to become the bad boy. I've never been the bad boy before…"

"I'm not sure if I pulled off the bad boy role… I just wasn't born to be the villain…"

"This photoshoot might be quite different from all the other photoshoots I've done in the past. It's a bit more adventurous, in a way. I'd like to think I showed off a sexy vibe…"

"Well, I wouldn't call my abs amazing… they're more functional… But I got a lot of praise from the director and now I'm feeling rather bashful…"

Okay, I know these three singles — "Sweet Dreams," "Mona Lisa," and "Killin' It Girl" — are supposed to show J-Hope's idea of love but, like, he's just become a thirst trap in the process...

BTS FESTA 2025: Today's ARMY★613 Behind

Hobi: "I did a great job styling Jin. But look how you dressed me!"

Jin: "Yah, Hob, come on, this is an awesome outfit! You look like a total superstar, for real!"

Hobi, touching his hat: "What is this?"

Jin: "It's like you're at a dinner party!"

Okay, well, their fashion choices make a lot more sense now.

THESE CUTIES. 🥹💜 (I don't get the theme, but they both look great!)

BTS FESTA 2025: HoSeokJin Photoshoot Behind

Jin: "We've been working individually for a while, right?"

Hobi: "It's been a long time."

Jin: "Working as a team today made me feel so happy and cheerful."

Hobi: "It's almost been a year since you were discharged from the military."

Jin: "It's been 11 months already."

Hobi: "Time really flies."

Jin: "Time does fly. Let's look forward to the day our members are all discharged and we can all work together."

They've thrived so much with their solo work and they're so joking and playful here, but you can tell that they miss their team as a whole. I can't wait until all seven are back together.

You know, I feel like Jin and J-Hope wasn't a pairing that was often put together within BTS, at least in their public content, so I love that they get this opportunity now. MY 2SEOK HEART!

Damn, they did such a good job re-creating these. But whereas J-Hope looked super serious and almost sinister for his Jack in the Box photoshoot, I think Jin just looks adorable. Man, I hope they upload the behind-the-scenes for this. Of course, now I'm thinking about what the concept switches would look like for the other members; Jimin doing Suga's D-DAY, Suga doing V's Layover, V doing RM's Indigo, RM doing Jungkook's GOLDEN, Jungkook doing Jimin's FACE...

INTRODUCING THIRST TRAP J-HOPE. (Okay, I know this is Hobi's sexy era, but HOLY SHIT.)

Jin — Echo Jacket Shoot Sketch

"We're going for more of a fierce concept. I'm not sure if I portrayed the fierceness well because I have kind of a nice guy face… but I tried my best to do so. I might not look fierce but I hope you find it cute at least."

"It's a rockstar concept, but why do rockstars dress so uncomfortably? The clothes are tight, the pants are tight, it's hard to sit down and get up. I don't think I could be a rockstar."

Yes, Jin, you are cheerful with a nice guy face, but you're still a rockstar in my eyes. 8 more days until Echo is released!

Okay, I know Jin is World Wide Handsome and he's good-looking all the time, but there is just something about him in an all-black suit with this particular hair style that is really doing it for me…

Okay, I'm obsessed with rock 'n' roll Jin.

I don't know if it's the shaggy hair, ripped denim, vintage car, or just the mere showing of upper arms, but this concept is DOING IT FOR ME.

Y'all, if you've seen the choreography for this song... we have officially entered Hobi's sexy era.
