BIGHIT MUSIC recently released the TYPE 1 photo book featuring BTS’ Kim Taehyung and it has been garnering heaps of attention from netizens online. On July 9, the highly anticipated TYPE 1 photo book with 224 pages was made available for fans to purchase and it included exclusive images of the BTS vocalist.

Fans who were able to get their hands on the photo book shared some glimpses on social media. These images quickly began circulating among the Layover singer's fans, who praised him for his looks. They reacted to the viral pictures online and called the photo book "art."

“He's insane for this like SIR PLEASE WHAT ABOUT MY SANITY,” a fan said.
“I just woke up and got attacked by THE KIM TAEHYUNG!! he's so beautiful and ethereal and how is he even real?!” a fan wrote.

Fans were also reminded of when Kim Taehyung said on Suchwita that Chapter 2 had nothing to do with BTS members taking their shirts off. Social media users reacted hilariously to the viral photos as most of the images showcased V without a shirt.

“He who said that chapter 2 has nothing to do with taking shirts off now has the most shirtless photos among all the members,” a user said.
“Why he always chooses to do the opposite… My stomach is having all the possible butterflies in the world,” a fan wrote.
“chapter 2 has nothing to do with taking our shirts off he said .. not ONE dressed picture in the whole photobook i'm crying,” an X user said.

Netizens also drew comparisons between Jacob Elordi from Saltburn and a photo of Kim Taehyung.

“i said taehyung next pictorial would take inspo from saltburn back in january and now everyone on the tl is comparing the type 1 photos to it so if i were u guys i'd be scared af of the unhinged sh*t i say here bc clearly taehyung shares my vision,” a netizen said.
“It's giving Saltburn,” a user said.
