Bands like BTS are widely recognized for their fashion statements, especially when they’re hitting the red carpet in full looks from Saint Laurent, coordinating their custom Gucci bomber jackets for performances, and the like. They are looks that we want to emulate, and can’t wait to look out for from show to show. Though we can comfortably assume that some of the costumes are paid for by band revenue, heavily discounted, or lent for special appearances and returned shortly thereafter, did you know that many K-Pop bands receive some of their most expensive designer pieces as fan gifts? So says Racked, who reported on the manner in which BTS and similar groups are able to amass such impressive wardrobes.

A user called Haru98 contributes to ID-ing many of the pieces that the guys from the band are spotted in, whether onstage or off. He posts his findings on Twitter’s @IKON_Wardrobe. Racked wrote that, according to the user, “idols, in addition to buying their own outfits, receive gifts of clothing from fans, friends, or family.” They added, “On the occasion of a band member’s birthday, fans — usually working together under the direction of a star’s fan sites — will give artists presents, including expensive clothing. The idols typically wear these gifts for more casual public appearances, such as going to the airport or appearing on the radio (where they are usually photographed and filmed for a live video feed by the station).”

Don’t believe them? According to the publication, many of these fan sites post proof of their gifts before sending them off. User @_nuna_V shared just last week a series of photographed gifts next to images of BTS’s own V wearing said gifts in an episode of the band’s web show, “Run BTS!”
