BTS member Jungkook made a striking entrance into the fashion world with his debut solo appearance at New York Fashion Week on September 12, attending the Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2026 show held at The Brant Foundation. The singer, known for his style and global influence, was met with roaring cheers from fans who gathered to catch a glimpse of him.
Polite Gesture Wins Hearts
Dressed in a sleek monochrome outfit, Jungkook wore an inner shirt layered with a double-lapel jacket and matching loose-fit pants, paired with heeled black shoes. His grey oversized kimono-style jacket stood out as the statement piece. Despite the frenzy, the 28-year-old idol maintained his composure, greeting fans with a small bow and subtle waves—gestures that melted hearts and further endeared him to his supporters.
His hair, styled in a tousled ruffled-up look, highlighted his youthful charm. Multiple piercings on his ears and lips added an edgy contrast to his otherwise clean ensemble. Fans also spotted him donning a quirky “taco” neck piece inside the venue.
