Kim Taehyung, aka BTS V, has teased his upcoming photo book release, Type 1, which will come in two versions. BigHit Music, BTS’ label, has shared the photo book’s pre-order updates, release date, and more details.
With the first announcement, V kept the Type 1 project in mystery. The only clue that the upcoming release would be a photobook was the lyrics from “Scenery” that the poster featured.
Hours after the initial poster, the official BTS page confirmed that Type 1 is a photobook that reveals a side of V that fans often don’t get to see. The 28-year-old singer brings a more relaxed and comfortable side of himself with the new project.

Fans can pre-order BTS V’s Type 1 photo book from Weverse Shop (global/ US/ Japan) from June 27 at 11 a.m. KST and 3 a.m. BST / June 26 at 10 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. PT. The photo book will officially drop on July 9 (KST).
BTS member V Type 1 photo book magazine version: Where to order?
BTS V’s Type 1 photobook will come in two variations, including a magazine version, available to order from Weverse Shop. The magazine version of Type 1 will be shipped at a later date. For Weverse global users, the shipping date is August 6. Users from the U.S. will get their magazine version shipped on August 27. For Japan, the magazine version will be released on August 30.
Per BigHit Music, the magazine version will not contain all the versions like the original edition. The label noted: “The artist selected the travel destination, decided on the title and package items, personally participated in planning, and meticulously prepared everything.” Meanwhile, the magazine version of the photo book has 152 pages that will have “an assortment of moments he wants to share with ARMY.”
BTS’ V Type 1: What does it contain?
V’s Type 1 contains a montage of the “Christmas Tree” singer’s personal taste and a slice of his life that fans have not seen before. The original version of Type 1 is 224 pages long and unveils V’s leisure days.
Type 1 will include additional content with the photo book, featuring bookmarks, photo stickers, a postcard set, and cutting stickers. BTS V’s followers can carry the collection with them as part of their daily routine to experience the adventures of traveling in Taetae fashion.
BigHit Music (via Weverse) teased: “This photobook captures V’s moments of complete rest, revealing his comfortable and natural self as he takes a break from his busy schedule to enjoy some time alone. V participated in every step of the planning and production, from selecting the travel destination to deciding on the title and the photobook’s components, culminating in a 224-page photobook packed with various moments he wishes to share with ARMY.”
How much does V Type 1 photo book cost?
Weverse Shop has recently disclosed the price of the Type 1 and Type 1 Magazine versions before the official pre-order begins. The main version of Type 1 will cost $42.64, while the magazine version is $28.70.
Fans can order Type 1 from online retailers like Kakao Talk Gift, Yes24, Aladin, and Musicplant. The original version of Type 1 will be available on the aforementioned sites from July 9 (KST).
Meanwhile, Kim Taehyung fans are nostalgic about the release of this photo book, which is a significant moment for Taehyung’s artistic journey. With the release of “Scenery,” the singer started sharing his individual artistic experience with fans.
The song struck a chord with fans. V later explained why including photography in his first solo song was essential. The BTS singer shared in the Break The Silence documentary, “The way I look at the world when I take photos, the people I see through the lens, the scenery, the streets, and the sky, I wanted to write about what those things mean to me.”
Years after V’s wish to release a photo album, BTS ARMY will finally get to see this side of the singer. The collection will drop on July 9, a day significant as it is considered as BTS ARMY’s official birthday.
