BTS’s Chapter 2 era has been all about self-expression, personal growth, and solo journeys—but let’s be honest, it’s also come with a few unexpected gifts… like shirtless moments that made ARMY collectively pause, gasp, and respectfully lose their minds. Whether it's through official campaigns, behind-the-scenes content, or selfies they shared themselves, here are 7 times the BTS members went shirtless—and we’re still not over it.

Let’s dive in. Respectfully, of course.

1. Jungkook – Calvin Klein Campaign

This moment broke the internet.

When Calvin Klein announced Jungkook as their global ambassador, fans expected something big—but no one was ready for the shirtless denim look that came with it. With confidence, charisma, and a body that clearly reflects his dedication to fitness, Jungkook gave us one of the most iconic fashion campaigns in K-pop history.

And yes—he posted it himself on Instagram. We love a man who knows his impact.

2. RM – Gym Selfies on Instagram (2023)

Namjoon isn’t one to show off, but Chapter 2 has brought a new layer of self-assurance—and occasionally, that includes shirtless mirror selfies from the gym. He’s shared a few glimpses on Instagram, revealing not just his toned physique but also his commitment to health and strength.

Quietly powerful, just like him.

3. Jin – Shirtless Instagram Post Revealing Friendship Tattoo

In June 2022, Jin surprised ARMY by sharing a shirtless photo on Instagram, showcasing his '7' friendship tattoo located on his lower back. The image, taken at the beach, featured Jin with his back to the camera, highlighting the tattoo that symbolizes the bond among the seven BTS members. This post was part of a series where each member revealed their matching tattoos, celebrating their enduring friendship.

4. SUGA – Topless Instagram Photoshoot (September 2023)

In a move that left ARMY collectively speechless, SUGA shared a series of artistic, topless black-and-white portraits on his personal Instagram in September 2023. The images were part of a minimalist, moody shoot that emphasized shadows, texture, and of course—his toned physique.

It wasn’t flashy—it was raw, real, and perfectly Yoongi.

5. J-Hope – Random Shirtless Selfie Drop on Instagram/Weverse

J-Hope rarely goes shirtless online, which made it all the more shocking (in the best way) when he casually dropped a set of shirtless selfies on Instagram and Weverse.

6. Jimin – Shirtless Moments in Are You Sure?!

In the post, V exuded a relaxed, carefree vibe, offering a natural glimpse into his life. His bare-chested image, paired with his subtle charm, made it an unforgettable visual for fans.

Conclusion: Confidence Looks Good on BTS

Chapter 2 is about more than solo albums—it’s about identity, growth, and self-expression. Whether it's through a Calvin Klein campaign or a quiet gym mirror, these shirtless moments weren’t about shock—they were about being comfortable in their skin.

And ARMY? We’ll always cheer them on for embracing every version of themselves.
