BTS fans expressed their disappointment with the luxury brand Louis Vuitton for leaving out V, one of the members of the K-pop band, in their promotional campaign video. Taking to Twitter, the brand shared the clip and also tagged V, though he isn't seen in the clip. They 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 said video features the six other BTS members. It opens with J-Hope, then goes on to feature RM, Suga, Jimin, Jungkook and Jin. Several other models also star in the video that was dropped on July 9 (Friday).

Unhappy BTS fans reacted to the clip. One wrote, "Hi @LouisVuitton ! You have 7 ambassadors, but there's only 6 in this video. Please fix it ! Please add To Taehyung." Another said, "@LouisVuitton, you have seven ambassadors in total. This is not the first instance of you missing out BTS V either, 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."

Here is the video:


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, "How can you forget one of the brand ambassadors? This is the second time you have made a big mistake. BTS is always 7. Please correct this as soon as possible and show your sincerity." Another wrote, "@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' (V), because he is also a BTS's member and one of the ambassadors. Thank you," said a fan.
