This is the fifth time this year that Jimin has caused an outfit or product to go out of stock. In addition, Jimin also caused another outfit from Louis Vuitton to get completely sold out back in January.
In January, Louis Vuitton's Fall-Winter 2021 Men's Collection featured a knitwear sweater, showcasing the design of a clock using the brand's signature "LV" logo. The sweater, which costs 1.37 million won (approximately $1,234), attracted attention from several media outlets as it went out of sock in more than sixteen countries after it was seen being worn by the "Life Goes On" singer.
In a preview video that was released before BTS's appearance on tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" in March, the black Louis Vuitton cashmere crew neck that cost 1.54 million won (approximately $1,387), the bootleg jeans, and the pendant necklace that was seen being worn by Jimin that retails for 1.09 million won (approximately $982) were completely sold out in all sizes and colors within twenty-four hours of the episode's broadcast.
Jimin has sold out all the products he's worn even before becoming the official global ambassador for Louis Vuitton, proving to be one of the world's strongest brand power, being ranked first in brand reputation for 28 months in a row.
