On 23rd September, Joshua appeared in a special “What’s in My Bag” segment for GQ Korea. As he shared the contents of his bag, fans were treated to a glimpse of his stylish Chanel wallet. But it wasn’t the luxury brand that caught everyone’s attention—it was what came next.
When Joshua pulled out his driving licence, fans noticed something familiar. Alongside his effortlessly handsome appearance in the photo, eagle-eyed CARATs quickly realised that the picture on his licence was not just any photo—it was actually the same image used in the official CARAT membership ID set.
The discovery sparked a wave of excitement online, with fans finding it both amusing and heartwarming that Joshua would use a photo so many CARATs already had as part of their collection. The idea that a piece of official merchandise shared by fans is also the photo on Joshua’s own licence created a special sense of connection.
What made the moment even more endearing was the revelation that Joshua wasn’t the only member to do this. During a previous Weverse Live, fellow SEVENTEEN member Mingyu had shared that he too used his CARAT membership photo for his ID.
In a world where many people would go out of their way to have a professional photoshoot for their official documents, the fact that Joshua and Mingyu chose something so personal and meaningful adds an extra layer of charm. It’s these small, genuine moments that remind fans of how relatable and down-to-earth their idols can be.
We can’t help but smile at these sweet interactions, and it’s clear why Joshua and SEVENTEEN hold such a special place in CARATs’ hearts!
