Meanwhile, BTS’ youngest member turned heads at New York Fashion Week as he attended the Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2026 show. His attendance at the event marks his first-ever appearance at a fashion runway event.

The global ambassador for the brand drew significant attention both at the venue and across social media. For the occasion, the singer wore a layered monochromatic four-piece ensemble in taupe-grey tone. The outfit had a baggy, oversized silhouette.

The look was completed with subtle silver accessories, including a pendant necklace, playfully described by him in an Elle Korea interview as “taco looking”. In addition to the necklace, Jungkook showed off his signature ear and lip piercings, giving the look a touch of his signature edge. Following the performance, the singer attended the Calvin Klein after-party, wearing an all-black ensemble capped with a black trench coat.

Frenzy broke online as soon as Jungkook arrived at the venue. Fans wasted no time flooding X with posts, leading the hashtag #JUNGKOOKxCALVINKLEIN to trend. Photos, videos, and reactions to his appearance went viral on social media platforms, generating more than a million posts.

Jungkook was officially introduced as Calvin Klein's global ambassador on March 28, 2023.
