September 12, 2025. New York Fashion Week. Calvin Klein SS26. And then—boom—Jungkook walks in. Suddenly, the runway wasn’t the main event anymore. The real show was a certain golden maknae turning the venue into his personal stage.
Let’s talk outfit first, because you know we need details. Jungkook showed up in a sleek taupe-grey jacket with a matching shirt, wide-leg trousers cinched just right at the waist, a fitted vest underneath, black leather boots, and a silver pendant that caught the light every time he moved. Add in that lip piercing, his ear piercings, and slightly tousled hair, and you get the exact recipe for why ARMYs worldwide immediately screamed: “MOST HANDSOME MAN EVER.” Honestly? They’re not wrong.
The reaction online was pure chaos—in the best way. People couldn’t stop replaying clips, analyzing the piercings, zooming in on his gaze, and collectively declaring Jungkook the star of NYFW. Forget models, forget designers—this was his night.
And here’s the part that makes it even more special: this was Jungkook’s first major public fashion event since wrapping up military service in June 2025. Instead of easing back into the spotlight quietly, he chose one of the biggest fashion stages in the world and made it look effortless. Bold move, but very on brand for him.
Of course, Jungkook and Calvin Klein are no strangers. He’s been their global ambassador for Jeans and Underwear since 2023, and every campaign has broken the internet. But showing up at NYFW? That’s leveling up. This wasn’t just him wearing CK—it was him representing CK in front of the fashion world.
The whole event was streamed live, giving ARMYs everywhere a chance to sit front row (well, virtually). And naturally, we flooded timelines with screenshots, fancams, and memes faster than the editors could upload their “best-dressed” lists.
So yeah, the Calvin Klein SS26 collection was cool and all—but the highlight of NYFW was Jungkook proving, once again, that he doesn’t just attend events. He turns them into history.
Here’s why it matters: Jungkook isn’t just performing music anymore—he’s performing presence. He’s showing that his artistry extends beyond stages and microphones. Fashion is part of his language now, and he’s speaking it fluently.
And ARMY, let’s be real: even if you’re not a fashion person, you were watching like your life depended on it. Because when Jungkook shows up, he doesn’t just walk into a room. He shifts the entire atmosphere.
