BTS' V Proves He's 'Sold Out King' After Fans Bought His TMA Outfits
BTS' Kim Taehyung, more commonly known as V, has proven once again that he's able to sell out items from brands he becomes associated with, no wonder fans call him "Sold Out King."
The group received trophies in five categories, including Artist of the Year, at The Facts Music Awards (TMA) Saturday, and fans could not contain their excitement. Besides celebrating with the boy band for its victory, its fans, collectively known as "ARMY," went out of their way to purchase the very same outfits V wore to the event.
As a result, the Sandro Fancy Knit Crop jacket, which retails for $670, along with the Patina Leather Blouson Berluti, which retails for $5,800, was sold out immediately.
"King Taehyung's individual powerful impact! Taehyung's worn these 3 outfits on TMA award show are now 'SOLD OUT' 'NOT AVAILABLE' SANDRO FANCY KNIT CROP JACKET TO STRETCHED VISCOS TOP VALENTINO TO PATINA LEATHER BLOUSON BERLUTI EVERYTHING," a Twitter user who has the handle @Taeminbear2Min said.
The stretched Viscose Top from Valentino, which is sold at $1,600 per piece, is actually still available at the luxury brand's official website, but dedicated fans may have already taken note of this.
Last week, V also inadvertently sold out a brand of luxury wine after posting a selfie with it.

The post was in Korean but a fan translated it to English.
"I went into (checked out) my photo gallery but I don't remember why I have this photo @bts_tweet," the tweet read, according to Twitter user @choi_bts2.
Soon after V's post, the price for The Château Margaux (Premier Grand Cru Classé) 2001 immediately became a top trending search on Google.
But as soon as fans learned that the wine featured in V's selfie is pricey and rare, they resorted to the next best option, the 1992 Château Margaux, which is priced at $1055.79.
Due to fans' interest, the wine was sold out on many websites.

"The wine got sold out in 5 min .... thats the quickest record ever that the wine store had..Kim Taehyung's power," one fan tweeted.
It can be recalled that V wore a pair of sunglasses while jamming to "Butter" for the "Global Citizen Live" on Sept. 28.
The same model of sunglasses worn by the beloved BTS member also sold out after the group's performance as per a fan's tweet.
"Fake me uploaded taehyung's Global citizen picture wearing their product, natural born code NB003 frame, which now SOLD OUT on their official website," the tweet said.

Last week, BTS and Coldplay released the sci-fi-inspired music video for their collab song "My Universe." The track is said to be included in the British band's upcoming album, "Music of the Spheres," which is slated for release on Oct. 15.
