Fans called them "My lovely 2seok" and went gaga over the unique start to the FESTA activities. They can't get over how good Jin and J-Hope look in the pictures, calling them "so adorable." Some fans felt that whoever came up with the concept needs a raise, as they really "outdid themselves." They also predicted that the idea might have come from the two BTS members themselves, as their company allegedly gave them the freedom to chip in with ideas.
Many fans pointed out how similar the shots were to the original references, yet how different the vibes were. Regarding Jin's Jack in the Box shoot, the majority said he looks "cute," providing a different mood than that of J-Hope's intense photos. Jin literally embodies the spirit of his album's title, Happy. As per BTS ARMY, the shoot brought out the unique charm of both the members, showcasing "how perfect their own individual concepts are for them."
Some also jokingly said that Jin needed to remain in the box as he had been "so he can rest," as he has been filming back-to-back content. From Run Jin, Kian's Bizarre B&B, and the Echo album release to participating in Coldplay's Seoul concert, he has been working tirelessly for the past few months.
