BTS fans are unhappy that Louis Vuitton not including V in their promotional campaign video. BTS fans feel that this is not the first time the brand has done it. The luxury brand has left out one of the K-op band members V, in their promotional campaign video.
Taking to Twitter, the brand shared the clip and also tagged V. Louis Vuitton captioned the post, “#LVMenFW21 Figurative notions. Presented in Seoul, @VirgilAbloh’s #LVMenFW21 collection re-appropriates the normal through extreme elevation. Watch the show featuring @bts_bighit on Twitter or http://on.louisvuitton.com/6019ynk4R #BTS #RM #Jin #SUGA #jhope #Jimin #V #JungKook.”
The video features six other BTS members. The video opens with J-Hope, then goes on to feature other BTS members. Several other models also star in the video that was dropped on July 9.
Upset BTS fans reacted to the clip. One of the fans wrote, “Hi @LouisVuitton! You have 7 ambassadors, but there are only 6 in this video. Please fix it! Another wrote, “@LouisVuitton, you have seven ambassadors in total. This is not the first instance of you missing out on BTS V. This level of unprofessionalism does not suit a high-end luxury brand. Please delete & repost with a proper video with all SEVEN of your ambassadors. Thank you.”
A third fan tweeted, “@LouisVuitton If #BTSARMY repeatedly called your brand ‘Louis uitton’ you wouldn’t like it. Similarly, our ‘V’ is fundamentally important to us too. We love him very much. Please show him the respect & professional courtesy he deserves & stop forgetting to include him #V #BTSare7.” Another commented, “@LouisVuitton. You have 7 ambassadors, but there are only 6 in this video. So please add ‘Taehyung’ (V), Thank you”.
