BTS J-Hope Faces Backlash Over Behavior at Paris Fashion Week
BTS J-Hope is under fire after his appearance at the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week.
On June 22, J-Hope announced via Instagram Story that he would attend the LV show as an ambassador. He landed in Paris on June 23 and was quickly seen at Louis Vuitton headquarters, dressed head to toe in the brand.
Videos showed J-Hope leaving the building surrounded by guards, flashing massive bling as paparazzi snapped away. This behavior sparked criticism online.
