"You know who's gonnaaa be thereee"— Fans anticipate BTS' j-hope, Stray Kids' Felix & Lisa's attendance at 2025 Met Gala co-sponsored by LV

Anticipation is building among fans to see if K-pop sensations BTS' j-hope, Stray Kids' Felix, and BLACKPINK's Lisa will attend the 2025 Met Gala. Speculation arose on February 3, 2025, when the official account of the media outlet Viral Takes reported that Louis Vuitton would co-sponsor the event.

Since j-hope, Felix, and BLACKPINK's Lisa are brand ambassadors for Louis Vuitton, their fandoms conjectured that the three artists could make an appearance at this year's event.

For the unversed, j-hope was appointed a house ambassador for Louis Vuitton in February 2023. Stray Kids' Felix was named a house ambassador in August 2023 and made his runway debut at Paris Fashion Week for the brand's Women's Fall-Winter 2024 Collection in March 2024. He also attended the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2025 show in Barcelona.

BLACKPINK's Lisa was officially announced as a house ambassador for Louis Vuitton in July 2024. She debuted in the brand's Spring-Summer 2025 campaign, showcasing designs by creative director Nicolas Ghesquière.

The Met Gala, held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is known for its exclusive guest list and thematic exhibitions. With Louis Vuitton reportedly co-sponsoring the 2025 event, j-hope, Felix, and Lisa are among the top celebrities fans hope to see on the red carpet. One fan wrote on X:
