Throughout the collection of photos released by W Korea, Taehyung appears in a diverse range of stylized attires. One of the photos shows the idol in a layered ensemble, pairing a powder blue shirt with a salmon pink outer layer, finished with striking rings.

In another, more relaxed look, he appears in a white CELINE T-shirt tucked into pleated beige trousers, holding a masquerade-style mask, his vivid turquoise hair standing out. Outdoors in one photo, he is styled in a brown leather top with a textured metallic-accented sleeve and high-waisted trousers, completed with a silk scarf for a vintage touch.
