BTS’s Jung Kook Partners With Major Fashion Brand to Design His First Clothing Line

Fans of BTS superstar Jung Kook have a stylish new reason to celebrate: the global icon is bringing his signature aesthetic to life through an exclusive partnership with Calvin Klein.

The brand officially announced on Monday, May 18, that the K-pop sensation has co-designed a limited-edition capsule collection. Featuring the unique [CKJK] branding, the line is deeply personal, showcasing Jung Kook’s creative input across every detail—from custom denim washes to intricate, hidden embroidery. According to insights shared with WWD, the collection includes wardrobe essentials such as baggy low-rise jeans, vintage-inspired trucker jackets, graphic tees, and sleek racer jackets.

“Jung Kook was integral to every stage of the design process, from the initial concepts to the final product,” the report noted. The collection draws heavily from his personal passion for motorcycles, imbuing the pieces with a rebellious, high-octane spirit that reflects his own personality.

David Savman, Calvin Klein’s global brand president, highlighted the significance of the collaboration. “Jung Kook has been an incredible global ambassador. His authenticity and cultural influence resonate deeply with our audience. This collection successfully marries his personal style with Calvin Klein’s heritage to create something that feels both fresh and timeless.”

Availability: The collection drops online on Tuesday, May 19, with select retail locations offering the line in-store starting Wednesday, May 20.

This launch arrives as BTS continues a landmark year. Following the March release of their hit album ARIRANG—which dominated the Billboard 200 for three weeks—the group is currently balancing a massive global tour. After concluding their upcoming five-night residency at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the members are set to head to Busan, South Korea, as their tour schedule extends into next year.
