Fans couldn’t help but wonder why the saturation of the images were so strong and why they cropped the members from different photos to create the cover.
graphic design is my passion. saturation is my weapon of choice

Look I could be tripping but the outfits look familiar, Hobi’s suit is from the Variety’s hitmakers and so does Namjoon‘s and Jin’s, JK is from Good morning America, Tae is form I heart radio jingle ball, I don’t remember Jimin’s and Yoongi maybe it’s from radio Disney 😅

Some even felt that this might be unofficial and that something else might come out instead.
So is this like, unofficial? They did say exclusive interviews but maybe recycled interviews bc they already had them before
