Apparently, K-Pop Idols Love Their Calvin Klein

Mingyu fronts the brand’s latest Fall 2026 Outerwear campaign, while Jung Kook brings custom denim to the stage on BTS’s latest world tour.

Calvin Klein seems to have found a firm place in the wardrobes of some of K-pop’s biggest stars. Two recent appearances have put the American label in the spotlight, starting with Mingyu of Seventeen, who stars in the brand’s latest Fall 2026 Outerwear campaign, recently launched across Asia. Shot and directed by Park Bae, the campaign sees Mingyu wearing modern outerwear, relaxed , and seasonal layers, bringing an autumnal warmth to the brand’s signature minimalist aesthetic.

The campaign places Mingyu in his natural habitat: a recording studio. Looking effortlessly cool, he wears everything from the Faux Leather Puffer Jacket with 90s Straight Clayton Black Wool Jeans to the Unisex Sheer Hooded Puffer Jacket paired with the Garment Dye Boxy Crewneck and Baggy Tidal Jeans. Another standout combination features the Plaid Padded Shirt with 90s Straight Stone Ocean Jeans. If that isn’t superstar cool, we don’t know what is.

Meanwhile, Jung Kook of BTS, who currently serves as the brand’s global ambassador, was also spotted wearing a custom Calvin Klein look during the recent “BTS World Tour ‘ARIRANG'” stop in Los Angeles, California. For his performance, he wore a custom ensemble comprising a washed denim trucker jacket and high-rise baggy jeans, both featuring a hand-sprayed charcoal-to-tobacco gradient finish.

So, what is it about Calvin Klein that has our favorite idols gravitating toward the brand? We don’t know, and frankly, we don’t need to. We’re just happy to have a front-row seat to the moments served up by some of the hippest names in Asian music.
