BTS's V was thoroughly captivated by a collection of fan art created by an ARMY, reflecting the theme of their album, "MAP OF THE SOUL: 7."
The album illustrates the seven-year journey of the BTS members, highlighting the challenges they faced and the paths they took to achieve their success.
An ARMY shared the fan art, crafted by an artist known as BABA, hoping the BTS members would see it. The series depicts the current BTS members standing alongside their younger selves from before they rose to global fame.
The artwork shows adult Jin standing beside young Jin, who is navigating Seoul's bus system for the first time. Adult Suga sits next to his younger self, who is worn out from working various part-time jobs. Adult RM gazes proudly at young RM, immersed in his studies, especially in English, preparing for his future career.
Adult J-Hope dances with little J-Hope, who is practising his moves after school. Adult Jimin watches over little Jimin as he rehearses intensely for a dance recital. Adult V shares a humorous moment with his younger self, who decided to pursue music after receiving a saxophone as a gift. Lastly, adult Jungkook looks affectionately at little Jungkook, who is getting ready for his first audition.
V was so touched by this fan art that he invited the artist to work for BigHit Entertainment, saying, "My heart feels warm. Come work for our company."
With such creativity and talent, BABA would make a fantastic addition to the BigHit family. What do you think?
