ARMYs are demanding that HYBE stop “sabotaging” BTS‘s V.
A vinyl version of V’s 2023 debut studio album Layover was scheduled to be released on September 20. Pre-orders began on August 20.
Yet, on September 20, many ARMYs claimed their vinyl pre-orders had not been shipped yet. Considering many pre-ordered as soon as the layover vinyl was available, they were alarmed by the apparent shipping delay.
This is just ๐คฌ๐คฌ
. @BIGHIT_MUSIC @HYBEOFFICIALtwt @bts_bighit why our pre-orders of Layover Vinyls are not being shipped in Korea ???

HYBE, whatโs going on? ๐คจ Pre-ordered Tae's album on day one and still haven't received it. Many others facing the same issue. This is unacceptable!

This issue reminds ARMYs of when the Layover studio album was first released. There seem to be consistent issues of understocking and shipping delays.
Its mfking triggering me . Im getting layover flashbacks.
Hybe sabotaged tae again .
FCKING TAEHYUNG LEAVE HYBE FFS . I CANT TAKE THIS TRAUMA ANYMORE. OTHER 6 HAD NO PROBLEM DURING ALBUM RELEASE OR VINYL RELEASE. FUCK BTS FUCK HYBE

Layover vinyls kept getting sold out on weverse and varying online shops multiple times and each time kths and Tae fbs had to tag for bighit and hybe to re-stock. Under-stocking and now delaying shipments just like Layover CDs Iโm sick and tired!

ARMYs also feel that promotion of V’s Layover vinyls have been insufficient. They noted a lack of posts on social media from the company responsible for posting and advertising.
Pre-orders of Layover Vinyls aren't being shipped in Korea. There is not a single post about Layover LP's release.
We see what you do, we won't be silent. We respect the artist so should you.@BIGHIT_MUSIC @bts_bighit @HYBEOFFICIALtwtHYBE STOP SABOTAGING TAEHYUNG

It feels like Layover era all over again. How do u call yourself a music company and NOT promote member releasing music.

Hybe has time to tweet about everything while sabotaging Taehyung more & more
When will army finally talk about Taehyungโs mistreatment? @BIGHIT_MUSIC @HYBEOFFICIALtwt @bts_bighit why our pre-orders of Layover Vinyls are not being shipped in Korea?

This calls into question the treatment of V. Many supporters of his feel that HYBE is intentionally neglecting him.
