BTS Covers June Issue of Rolling Stone

May 13, 2021

BTS is continuing its global takeover with its first Rolling Stone cover.

The hit seven-member K-pop group, which is comprised of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, appear on the magazine’s June cover in matching Louis Vuitton looks. The group was named Louis Vuitton house ambassadors late last month.

In addition to their group cover, the seven members each appear in their own cover, which Rolling Stone will be revealing in the next week. Each cover is meant to reflect the singers’ unique personalities and styles. They’re also dressed in Louis Vuitton looks for the solo covers.

To celebrate the cover story, Rolling Stone is launching a custom box set with all eight BTS covers. The box set can be pre-ordered for $150 on Rolling Stone’s web site.

“We are outliers, and we came into the American music market and enjoyed this incredible success,” RM said in the interview. “Now, of course, there is no utopia. There’s a light side; there’s always going to be a dark side. The way we think is that everything that we do, and our existence itself, is contributing to the hope for leaving this xenophobia, these negative things, behind. It’s our hope, too, that people in the minority will draw some energy and strength from our existence. Yes, there’s xenophobia, but there are also a lot of people who are very accepting….The fact that we have faced success in the United States is very meaningful in and of itself.”

Aside from their influence in the music world, BTS has been a formidable force in the fashion world, too. Their matching, high-fashion style has gotten the attention of many major brands, including Fila and Louis Vuitton, and has landed them on Vanity Fair’s Best Dressed List in 2019.
