[Seoul Economy TV] Sold out again and again… When BTS V moves, everything becomes legendary! 👩🏻BTS V’s individual LP version is showing a strong presence in the global market. Ahead of the release, the member-specific vinyl versions were revealed, and V’s Velvet Red version quickly sold out across Korea, the United States, and Japan, sparking a surge in pre-orders. BTS is set to release their 5th full album Arirang on the 20th. This album is being produced in member-specific LP (vinyl) formats, and since the pre-order announcement in January, sales have accelerated rapidly. Among them, the fastest response came for V’s Velvet Red version. In the U.S., major retailer Target sold out V’s version first among all members. Even after restocking, it sold out again quickly. Both the first and second batches were the first to sell out, clearly demonstrating the high demand. A similar situation occurred on the Weverse US Shop, where the item repeatedly sold out immediately after restocks and remains out of stock. In Japan, V’s presence was equally strong. On Amazon Japan, his LP was the only one among the members to enter both the Bestseller and Hot New Release categories simultaneously. Analysts also note that his version led pre-order sales overall. On Rakuten Japan, despite being listed at the highest price, it completely sold out. On Qoo10, it recorded the highest sales volume. In Korea, although the individual LPs were not officially distributed, imported versions sold through Naver Smart Store ranked No.1 in daily sales. In particular, the Velvet Red version ranked No.1 on the weekly chart after just one day of pre-orders, proving its massive buzz. This trend goes beyond simple album sales, it is also being interpreted as an indicator of V’s personal brand power. Unlike digital music, LPs (vinyl records) carry strong collectible and symbolic value. As such, they reflect both fan loyalty and collector demand. Even within this niche market, V has managed to generate an overwhelming response.
