It’s safe to say that J-Hope has carved a niche for himself, away from BTS’ brand power.

The K-pop star’s brand endorsement deals

While announcing the collaboration, Louis Vuitton hailed the artist for “pushing artistic boundaries and inspiring international audiences.” The J-Hope x Louis Vuitton crossover will surely bring forth many interesting campaigns that’ll be a treat for fashion aficionados.
