One of the main complaints revolves around the lack of stopover Vinyl copies in key markets. Fans have noted that the album was under-stocked at major retail stores, forcing some to resort to alternative purchasing options, such as purchasing digital versions on Japanese iTunes, to increase V’s presence on the Billboard charts. Additionally, restock requests were reportedly ignored, further limiting access to the album.

Fans also pointed out HYBE and BIGHIT MUSIC’s alleged lack of promotional efforts, as not a single post highlighted the vinyl release. This silence has left fans feeling unsupported and wondering why V’s album didn’t receive the same marketing push as other releases.

Adding to the frustration, there have been delays in delivery, particularly in major markets, with fans reporting that it didn’t even meet the original release schedule.

In response, fans on social media platforms directly addressed HYBE, BIGHIT MUSIC and Geffen Records with their complaints, demanding that V’s work be treated with the same consideration as that of other artists.

So far, the company has yet to address their concerns. The situation has sparked heated debate online, with many questioning whether HYBE provides equal support to all of its artists.
