As the youngest member of global sensation BTS, Jungkook’s return to the fashion spotlight in Calvin Klein’s latest October 2025 campaign and GQ digital pictorial marks a bold statement of artistic maturity and iconic style. The campaign, set against the moody streets of New York City and choreographed to the 1997 Chemical Brothers’ “Block Rockin’ Beats,” captures his signature blend of sleek urban edge with 90s nostalgia.

Photographed by the famed Mert Alas, Jungkook radiates a commanding presence that perfectly echoes his stage persona. One standout look is a monochrome all-black ensemble featuring Calvin Klein’s updated denim collection—classic black jeans paired with a form-fitting black tee and topped with a shearling-trimmed leather jacket. Silver jewelry accentuates his ensemble, adding a touch of rebellious flair with a lip piercing and wrist adornments complementing his tattoo sleeve.

Jungkook’s hair styling blends effortless cool with a retro feel—a floppy middle part with some strands slicked back frames his face, enhancing the timeless heartthrob vibe. His makeup maintains a natural yet refined finish, highlighting his flawless skin and sharp features, letting his natural charisma shine through.

The campaign also gives fans glimpses of Jungkook’s sculpted physique and playful confidence, notably in shots where he sports Calvin Klein’s signature underwear and sleeveless garments, exuding both strength and vulnerability. His presence riding a motorcycle through the city streets further encapsulates this mix of youthful rebellion and polished sophistication.

After completing his mandatory 18-month military service earlier this year, Jungkook expressed excitement about reconnecting with Calvin Klein’s iconic denim, stating, “It feels so good to be back in the brand’s iconic denim. The energy on Calvin Klein sets is always incredible, and this shoot was no exception.” This return solidifies his evolving status as a fashion icon and a true global ambassador for the brand.

The GQ digital pictorial and Calvin Klein campaign resonate beyond fashion—they capture the revitalized spirit of an artist who continues to push boundaries while honoring his roots, perfectly balancing charisma, style, and star power.
