Introduction to BTS Photocards
BTS, a global phenomenon known for their music, fashion, and authentic fans, often release photocards featuring their members. These photocards are precious to fans who might not be able to obtain a personal meeting with the group. In this post, I will share some of my personal experiences with BTS photocards and why certain members’ photos stand out to me the most.
My Photocards and Favorites
I have two photocards in my collection from different albums. Both albums are significant, but I feel obliged to share the story behind them in the context of my personal preferences and circumstances.
Photocards from MOTS:7 and HYYH: Young Forever
My first photocard is from my MOTS:7 album, which features Jimin, one of the more expressive and charismatic members. The second photocard is from the HYYH: Young Forever album, showcasing Hoseok. I chose these two as they represent different lifestyles and personalities within the group.
Version 1 MOTS:7 Album: In my version, the photocard features Jimin. While owning a Jimin photocard was exciting, it’s been a bit complicated as Jimin is shared with my sister. Thus, I only have a small piece of my own collection.
HYYH: Young Forever Album: In my day version of the HYYH: Young Forever album, the photocard is of Hoseok. Choosing favorite photocards can be challenging, but in this case, I find myself preferring Hoseok’s more because it’s just a personal preference and Jimin belongs to my sister.

My personal favorite photocard, however, is not from an album but is from a personal connection. I have a Namjoon, or RM’s, photocard from the album Persona. This is special to me not only because of the iconic nature of RM but also because it has been my favorite since the moment I received it.
Personal Connection and Admiration: I admire Namjoon for his versatility, dedication to his art, and his inspiring journey from a street performer to a global superstar. Holding his photocard feels like holding a piece of his story and his legacy.

But not everyone can have these memorable moments. I wish to attend a live BTS concert one day, but due to the limitations of parental disapproval and personal circumstances like not having a driver's license, I cannot attend in person. Instead, I enjoy watching them on screen and in music videos.
Conclusion and Hope: Despite the obstacles, BTS’ presence in my life has been enriching. I hope to see more of such moments, but in the meantime, holding onto these photocard memories brings me immense joy and connection to the group I hold dear.
