ARMY, let’s talk about Jungkook at NYFW—because yes, he had comments, and yes, the internet blew them way out of proportion.
During a Weverse audio livestream on September 22, Jungkook opened up about his experience as Calvin Klein’s global ambassador at New York Fashion Week. He confessed first time going to a show that huge made him nervous, that it felt chaotic, and that big fashion events are just “not my type” atmospheres—though he also said it was better than he expected.
There’s this viral clip from the after-party where he said, “Is this even a party (이게 무슨 파티야)?” People ran with it like he was dissing the whole thing—but he clarified that it wasn’t meant as a dismissal. It was more like, “What kind of party is this?” He explained he left early because he had work the next day, so he didn’t stay for the full DJ set or get to soak in whatever version of party was going on.
He was honest: these big show-plus-after-party situations are overwhelming. But he also said he was glad to be there, glad for the experience. Even if it’s not his personal vibe to linger until the end, he showed up, performed, represented, and made it clear—just because you comment doesn’t mean you hate.
This moment matters because it shows Jungkook being real. He’s not afraid to say he’s uncomfortable sometimes, even when everyone expects him to smile for the cameras. And it reminds us that being ambassador for a fashion brand, attending huge shows, even being at big parties—all of it comes with pressures we don’t always see.
So yeah, that comment got twisted. But Jungkook didn’t shy away—he clarified, he acknowledged, and he kept it classy. As always, proud that he handles it all with honesty, charm, and style.
