Jungkook stuns at New York Fashion Week as BTS readies spring 2026 comeback album
BTS is preparing to return with a new album scheduled for release in spring 2026. The members recently completed part of the production work in the United States before heading back to South Korea for a brief stay. They are expected to travel again soon to resume recording and film music videos.
Meanwhile, BTS’ youngest member turned heads at New York Fashion Week as he attended the Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2026 show. His attendance on 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”. Along with the necklace, Jungkook flaunted his trademark ear and lip piercings, adding his signature edge to the look. After the show, the vocalist joined the Calvin Klein after-party, dressed in a sleek all-black outfit topped with a long black trench coat.
Online buzz erupted as soon as Jungkook stepped into the venue. Fans quickly flooded X with posts, causing the hashtag #JUNGKOOKxCALVINKLEIN to trend. Photos, videos, and reactions to his appearance spread rapidly across the platform generating more than a million posts.
Jungkook was officially introduced as Calvin Klein's global ambassador on March 28, 2023.
