Some ARMYs expected to shed tears of nostalgia while paging through the photobook, but instead…

That’s right, folks! Not one, not two, but four BTS members appear shirtless in the photobooks’ behind-the-scenes photos. Of course, there’s a perfectly good explanation for this: costume changes. Most of the photos, such as this one of RM, were taken backstage at concerts while BTS was preparing to go on stage.

So far, fans have scanned photos of RM, Jimin…

…V…

…and Jungkook preparing for their performances.

As one fan pointed out, things sure have changed over the years!
