In another incredible look, he can be seen wearing a white shirt paired with black shorts and a stylish black jacket and black boots to complete the look.

In yet another picture, Kim Tae-hyung can be seen posing with a flower between his lips. As a result, “The Flower” is now trending on Twitter.

Earlier, Elle Korea revealed that BTS’ Kim Tae-hyung has joined Park Bo-gum and BLACKPINK’s Lisa as French luxury brand CELINE’s new ambassador.

From this year onwards, the Sweet Night singer will be making appearances, shooting for commercials, and serving as the international face of the French luxury brand.
