(Warning: This post is long and photo-heavy.)
My copy of Special 8 Photo-Folio: Me, Myself, and Jungkook — "Time Difference" arrived last week, which is the first of the BTS member photobook series. Though not confirmed, I think this is BigHit's birthday project for the BTS members since Jungkook's photobook was released for the first week of September (JK's birthday is September 1) and RM's was released for the second week of September (RM's birthday is September 12) and we haven't seen another pre-order for the next photobook yet. (If my assumption is correct, we should be seeing Jimin's photo book released for next month, since his birthday is October 13.) This photobook series is called Special 8 Photo-Folio, which insinuates that there will be a total of 8 photobooks — probably one for each member and ending with a group book.

I might be biased because Jungkook is, you know, my bias, but I think these are the most beautiful photoshoots that he's been in to date. (And that's saying a lot because BTS has done literally hundreds of photoshoots.) From the concept to the set design to the costuming to the makeup to the colour grading, every single photo in this book is stunning. Just as you think this kid can't get any better looking, he comes along and is like, "Wanna bet?" and proves us all wrong. Frankly, I just think it's unfair that that much beauty and that much talent can all belong to a single person.

Jungkook's photobook is called "Time Difference," for which he chose vampirism as the concept. "Time Difference" has a total of 80 pages. It is a soft cover book with a removable PET overlay. Included with the photo book are several extra goodies: a photo coaster, two photocards (one that is included with every book and a second one that is randomized out of 3 options), a sheet of "postage stamps," a mini poster, and a folded poster. The photo book retails for ₩33,000 or $30.65 USD on Weverse Shop Global.
"Time Difference" is divided into three sections: Day, Inner Self, and Night. As Jungkook explains in his photoshoot sketch video, he wanted to show the different phases of being a vampire: Day shows his vulnerability and fragility, Inner Self shows his desire and the process of gaining power, and Night shows the vampire at his most powerful and dangerous.
