Fans are frustrated as HYBE Labels offers minimal promotions for BTS V’s upcoming solo debut through LayoVer.
The Twitter shot, and profile picture of BTS’BTS’ official account hasn’t been changed to support BTS V’sV’s solo introduction like it did for other BTS members. Additionally, there have also been several other worries like the lack of Bangtan Bomb, a behind-the-scenes vlog that the BTS members repeatedly post on YouTube, the lack of playlists and versions of his pre-release songs, and his lack of entrance in radio shows, all of which would ideally bring in the most market.
Moreover, while HYBE Labels and Big Hit Entertainment promised US promotions as they did for every other BTS member through their solo promotions, fans noticed that the idol had not stepped out of Korea for any promotion. Even the American record label Geffen Records, which accomplishes BTS’BTS’ Western promotions, has yet to post about V’s album or single debut.
