Yet, ARMYs also noticed a couple of meaningful details in RM’s Vogue Korea covers.
RM’s three covers appear to mirror his last three solo projects: mono, “Bicycle,” and Indigo. Could it just be a coincidence?

Not just that, but an eagle-eyed ARMY pointed out a key difference in RM’s poses. For years, the BTS leader usually partially covered his face during shoots.
However, in none of the Vogue Korea covers is RM attempting to hide behind his hands. The ARMY pointed out that since Chapter 2, he has not posed covering his face.
Not for Indigo promo pictures, not for Indigo promo interviews, not for NYT, not for Rolling Stone, not for El Paîs and now, not for Vogue Korea…wonder if it was a conscious decision or something that happened naturally pic.twitter.com/KQGz4K2QA3
