BTS V's Self-Designed 'Mute Boston Bag' Makes History by Selling Out in 1 Second
Back on January 2, BTS and their label HYBE surprised fans when they announced the launch of their new set of merchandise called the "Artist-Made Collection," which features different products curated and designed by the BTS members themselves, and is sold through Weverse Shop.
The first set of products HYBE unveiled was a nighttime collection designed by the group's oldest member, Jin, which includes two different sets of pajamas and a pillow designed for those who have neck issues.
A few days later on January 11, HYBE finally rolled out the group's second set of merchandise, and this time, it's designed by V!
