Louis Vuitton video leaves out BTS V

However, what concerns ARMY the most is that Louis Vuitton video leaves out BTS V, and only featured six members in their Twitter post.

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 https://t.co/UzXIisHkEb#BTS #RM #Jin #SUGA #jhope #Jimin #V #JungKook pic.twitter.com/XWwVVy1FdD

ARMY Protests about Louis Vuitton Video Commercial

Realizing that Louis Vuitton commercial video lacks one member of their beloved BTS, ARMY tweets their protest on Twitter.

Regarding the issue, ARMY protests that Louis Vuitton video leaves out BTS (V) Kim Taehyung. It shows only six members of the BTS Kpop boy group. Furthermore, they tagged Louis Vuitton’s official Twitter account, @LouisVuitton, to remind the brand that BTS has 7 members. And all of them are Louis Vuitton’s brand ambassadors.

Hello, @LouisVuitton . BTS consists of 7 members, not 6 and you have included only 6 members in your clip, leaving Kim Taehyung aka BTS V out. Please include him in the clip. It’s a humble request. Thank you.

Hi! @LouisVuitton. You have 7 ambassadors, but there’s only 6 in this video. So please we kindly ask you to fix it, and that you add ‘Taehyung’ (BTS V), because he is also a BTS’s member and one of the ambassadors. Thanks. pic.twitter.com/jpp6yfSB0c

Up to this point, there has been no response from Louis Vuitton about this issue. And ARMY keeps reminding by posting BTS (V) Kim Taehyung’s part of the Louis Vuitton commercial video on Twitter.
