I've maintained a good relationship with Louis Vuitton for about two year. After inviting me to the show, I had to the chance to become their ambassador. You never know, but I think there was a chance."Rana🍒🫐@Rana_Berries"Love calls (calls for good work) came from several companies, but other companies only talked about overseas markets and overseas activities.Now, the agency proposes and promises activities focused on Korea, and signs the contract"-says BB2727"Love calls (calls for good work) came from several companies, but other companies only talked about overseas markets and overseas activities.Now, the agency proposes and promises activities focused on Korea, and signs the contract"-says BBDespite knowing that there was a chance that he could have become an ambassador for Louis Vuitton if he had attended the show, the most probable reason for passing the invitation was that he was invited as a representative of Thailand and not Korea.GOT7 BamBam confessed that although he is a K-pop idol, his promotions within Korea have been minimal. Additionally, his previous agency had concentrated on his promotions overseas rather than in Korea. He stated:"I started to doubt my promotion in the entertainment industry and thought about even retiring."Rana🍒🫐@Rana_Berries@BamBam1A The post talked about how #BamBam gave up on LV invitation for PFW because he had a filming with Radio Star in kr."I worked hard, but the recognition in Korea was not as high as I expected, so I was skeptical about my activities and even thinking about retirement."3235@BamBam1A The post talked about how #BamBam gave up on LV invitation for PFW because he had a filming with Radio Star in kr."I worked hard, but the recognition in Korea was not as high as I expected, so I was skeptical about my activities and even thinking about retirement."This came as a shock to many, especially when one considers how hard it must have been for BamBam to think about retiring. The idol stated that despite debuting and being active in Korea, he felt he needed to be recognized more within the country.BamBam's choice to attend Radio Star rather than the Louis Vuitton show could also be due to the same reason. Given that he would be representing Thailand and promoting himself in Paris and other western countries, he was naturally inclined to attend the Radio Star, which would be promoting him inside Korea, where he wants to be recognized more.𝚓𝚘𝚢𝚌𝚎@cyjprintbambam still has his original goal in mind—which is to be more recognized in korea, because he chose to film ‘radio star’ instead of going to france for louis vuitton 🥹20151332bambam still has his original goal in mind—which is to be more recognized in korea, because he chose to film ‘radio star’ instead of going to france for louis vuitton 🥹Upon hearing the news, fans were both surprised and proud at the same time.
