[7 moments] Let's look back at BTS's solo era [2022-2023 + alpha]

[Update: 2025/7/6] Added content lists for the Photo Book and Digital Code

I'm still savoring the "7 moments"

The "7 moments" solo era collection item that arrived from the official store was so much fun that I felt like looking back at everyone's, not just V's!

While I was at it, I roughly picked out their solo era content, focusing on information gained from the "7 moments" videos and photo books. Since you can find the main content anywhere, I prioritized EPISODES and Behinds, as befits a "memories" collection. "7 moments" covers from "Proof" to their military service, but since Jin and Hobi enlisted early, I supplemented it with what happened after they returned. Thanks to that, it's quite chaotic lol

I've posted a huge number of videos, so I think it'll be heavy. Sorry about that...!!

JIN

"7 moments" impressions

Seeing Jin surrounded by makeup artists, having stars put on his face, is irresistible! I was surprised that the initial version of Wootteo had a long torso. Jin's sense in requesting it be shortened is truly impressive. I couldn't miss the part where he said, "I also sleep hugging a plushie"... (*´艸｀) The fact that the BGM is "Running Wild" is so heart-wrenching!! The photo book even has two cuts of that scene lol. As expected, they know what we want www

From Weverse Magazine: JIN "BTS loves ARMY so much. Isn't it natural to do your best for the people you love?"

Also, the deserted island, Handsome Guys, ambassador roles, and numerous fan service projects... there's too much, thank you!!

SUGA

"7 moments" impressions

Is there anything more precious than the first reveal of Yoongi in his long-hair era? His smile in the suit for the tour poster is dangerous! His skin is so white it's glowing. The photos with the solid black background and the black cape are also the best. This color is completely Snow White. I went to the "D-DAY" movie so many times, but seeing the VCR filming footage here (the VCR was cut from the movie) made me decide to buy the digital code too.

J-HOPE

'7 moments' Impressions

There was a scene where he was practicing dancing on a narrow platform. So that's how he memorizes the size of the space with his body.
I was excited by the stoic Hobi with his sleek black hair and a body a size leaner than now, exuding a sense of urgency, but then when I saw Hobi monitoring the MAMA VCR, he unleashed a level of sexiness that went off the charts and I just collapsed...!

RM

'7 moments' Impressions

The 'WEVERSE Live' also showed Jimin coming to support him, and I was excited by the unexpected MiniMoni moment.
It was a gain to realize I had never seen the content related to 'Smoke Sprite (feat. RM)'. How could I have missed something this good! I love our leader, who looks so cool in black hair and black leather, only to break into a playful smile afterwards 💜

JIMIN

"7 moments" impressions

I was surprised to find that the variety show episode where he posed as a fan from the provinces is also included in "FACE". In the Jimmy Fallon show behind-the-scenes, there's a scene where he sings a single note, and the strength and clarity of that resonance! The gap between that and his low speaking tone is so huge, I fell for it!! The way he does the wave in the "Who" MV visuals is so cute 💜
Isn't the angle of his chin from below in the practice room photo just too beautiful...!?

JUNG KOOK

"7 moments" impressions

I felt like I had seen a lot of his solo work in "I AM STILL", but that wasn't the case at all. BTS content is just too vast! The flower-boy Jungkook in Weverse Magazine is amazing. The preview screening with Tae-tae is also cute, but this has intense destructive power too. You wouldn't even know he was mixed in with the girls (that's an exaggeration).
The photo of him hanging and floating is surreal and made me laugh. I really love it lol

BTS

"7 moments" Impressions

During the PTD in Seoul practice, I was stunned when V (with his black hair and forehead fully exposed) grabbed Jimin's hand, which was offered while he was lying in a starfish position, and pulled himself up into a bridge pose!! Seeing the 95s fighting, making up, and messing around afterward was a feast for the eyes. Please never grow up, lol.

The Weverse Magazine shoot scenes were quite shameless—no, I mean bold—and they really blew me away!
I actually went back to re-read the magazine to check if they were really dressed like that, and yes, they were. They're adults now, so they weren't being protected. Jimin wasn't even wearing an undershirt and his belly button was fully visible, which made the modest Namjoon and Suga stand out... *cough*. The last bastions of decency are the rappers; that's the BTS quality.

This is the behind-the-scenes footage from the group photo that was in "Merch Box #8 (now #13)", right? Thank you for showing us this treasure that is now impossible to get...!!

Check these out for the solo era!

The last group song before military service.

This is the Busan concert. The performance video is on Amazon Prime.

I think of this documentary as a farewell from them before they head off to military service.

It was so much fun...!!

I kept repeating the videos and photo books, searching for more, and getting sucked into new videos I found, unable to get out. It's seriously dangerous.
If you get too greedy, you'll never be able to leave, so for Baby ARMYs who found a lot of things they didn't know in "7 moments", let's look back at these together with me ( *´艸｀)

There is still so much more BTS solo era content. They are truly hardworking, and I'm so proud of them as my biases. No wonder the military hiatus feels so long.
Thank you to the company and staff who supported each of their activities and kept the content coming without interruption even during their military service!
Alright, time to go watch it all again.
