BTS's V Sparks Outrage With His Stage Outfit
October 15, 2026 · Koreaboo

BTS 's V has unintentionally triggered a heated discourse on social media with his recent fashion choice.

BTS's V | @thv/Instagram During rehearsals at Estadio Nacional for the ARIRANG World Tour 's Chile concert on October 15, V was spotted wearing a pair of trousers made by a Japanese brand called JULIUS. The pleated, floor-length pants are a part of the brand's avant-garde line, and are marketed as "Lungi Trousers."

As the information about the pants surfaced on social media, Indian fans were left disappointed and enraged- not at the idol, but at the brand. Many pointed out that the design was a blatant appropriation of traditional Indian attire without any proper credit.
Others also pointed out that the brand had mislabeled the style, calling it a "Lungi," when the pleated style actually resembled the draped "Dhoti," which clearly showed the lack of proper research into the very cultural attire it was trying to imitate.
