The BTS singer’s Korean and international fanbases subseqently sent some lovely hampers filled with goodies and sweetmeats to the Elle Korea editorial team, thanking them for their services.

BTS’ V’s Korean and international fans send a thank you hamper to Elle Korea’s editorial team

BTS’ V’s Elle Korea cover is undoubtedly one of the best magazine covers featuring the Bangtan star in not one but three unique looks. Dressed in CELINE from head to toe, the Sweet Night singer set a new record for becoming the best-selling magazine pre-ordered on e-commerce sites like Aladin and Ktown4u.

To thank Elle Korea’s editorial team for featuring the Singularity singer on their cover, the singer’s Korean and international fanbases namely - V UNION, V INSIDE, KTH SUPPORTERS, and TEAM V, alongside his fans from India, Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and USA, sent a lunchbox with a drink, a flower basket and a letter to the team to express their gratitude.

The fanbases pooled in money and sent the goodies to Elle Korea’s headquarters. Their gesture earned praise and appreciation from the team and other BTS fans.

Notably, all the goodies were wrapped in purple, which is BTS’ official color chosen by the Sweet Night singer himself. In fact, he uses the phrase, ‘Borahae’ or ‘Purple You’ to express his unconditional love for ARMYs.

This isn’t the first time the BTS singer’s fanbases have banded together to show their gratitude. Two years ago, his fanbases sent goodies to the Vogue Korea editorial team for featuring him on their magazine cover.

BTS’ V along with Park Bo-gum and BLACKPINK’s Lisa have been chosen as the new global ambassadors for CELINE. V will be making appearances, shooting for commercials, and serving as the international face of the French luxury brand.

For his Elle Korea cover, the BTS singer showcased his versatility by sporting some interesting looks. Those included a classic denim jacket with metal pin balls and embroidery, flowers tucked in his jeans, and a bold nose ring amongst other things.


BTS’ V’s Elle Korea covers face shipment delays due to overwhelming demand from fans

BTS’ V has shown his worldwide impact yet again as K-pop e-commerce companies like Aladin and Ktown4u face shipment delays due to overwhelming demand from ARMYs.

Last week, Elle Korea’s social media team assured fans that they would deliver their magazine copies to them and were working hard to ensure the supply outnumbers the demand.

They said:

"To readers who are waiting for the delivery of Elle Magazine's April 2023 issue, Thanks to your tremendous love, there has been a significant increase in sales, and it is expected to take some time before the delivery. We will do our best to ensure that you receive it soon."

A similar statement was given by Ktown4u’ social media team, who assured eager ARMYs that their copies will be delivered soon, as they are currently out of stock.

Notably, BTS' V's Elle Korea covers have sold out on Aladin, yes24, Ktown4U, Kyobobook, Gmarket, Amazon Japan, Rakuten Japan, Qoo10 Japan, and Music Japan.
