The official announcement of the name of the army was made on July 9th. A new street view experiment has been released through the Arts & Culture platform by the band. There is a virtual tour of the group's favorite artworks.

Each member has put their selections in various public locations that will be recognizable to their fans. J-Hope decorated the UN General Assembly, where BTS gave an address and shot a music video last year, as well as the Namdaemun, where the band performed for the Global Citizen Live festival.

Some members of the group are known for their love of art, but others haven't been as open about their tastes. The experience gives an interesting look at each member's artistic interests with a healthy dose of personality. A photo of a rowboat is V's kind of jam. Jin wrote about his resemblance to Antonio Corradini's Adonis. Jungkook commented that he loves taking photos of the clouds because they are completely different to the next one.

A number of online tours of famous galleries can be found on the Arts and Culture platform. An interesting vision for the role of art in public space is part of the "Experiments" section, where artists can try more eclectic ideas.
