BTS Member Jungkook Is The Reason Why A $2,850 Louis Vuitton Jacket Was Sold Out
Many people are aware that Louis Vuitton is a luxury brand that only those who can spend hundreds to thousands of dollars easily can afford. Now, what if your favorite K-Pop idol promotes it or wears it on occasion? Would you buy it as well?
It was reported that BTS member and "Sold Out King" Jungkook is the reason why Louis Vuitton's "70's DENIM JACKET" is officially sold out in 29 countries. The price for one jacket is USD $2,850. For BTS fans, the price doesn't seem to matter anymore. As long as Jungkook promotes or wears the brand, people are definitely going to buy it regardless of the price tag.
The said Louis Vuitton jacket was seen in Virgil Abloh's Instagram story. Ever since this discovery, people flock to Louis Vuitton stores in order to get the same one Jungkook was wearing.
This is not the first time that a certain Louis Vuitton product was sold because of Jungkook. Last year, an LV denim jacket that cost USD $2,350 was immediately sold out ever since Jungkook was seen wearing them. The said jacket was immediately sold in just 2 hours in 16 countries.
Just recently, it was announced that Jungkook (also popularly known as the "King of SNS") is the only individual in the world to have six of his tweets having more than 1 million retweets. He is officially included in the "Top 30 Most Retweeted Tweets of All Time." One of his tweets, with the caption "Never Not," is at #8 spot in the "Most Retweeted Tweets of All Time." It is so far the highest-ranking Tweet posted by a K-pop personality.
Just last month, ARMYs and Jungkook stans celebrated as he dominated the video platform TikTok. The hashtag #jungkook that was used on the app reached more than 40 billion, first time in history.
BTS or Bangtan Sonyeondan debuted in 2010 under the South Korean record label HYBE (formally Big Hit Entertainment.) The group members are the following: Jimin, SUGA, RM, Jin, Jung Kook, V, and J-Hope. The group is confirmed to have a comeback soon.
