Jungkook Blurts Out His Honest Thoughts On Fashion Week, But ARMY Loves His Candidates

 Image 


In the early hours of the 23rd, Jungkook held a spontaneous short broadcast with ARMYs on Weverse. This was his first broadcast, one week after returning to South Korea from the 2025 New York Fashion Week, which had sent shockwaves around the world.

Although the event had ended about ten days earlier, the reverberations of his influence were still felt. The media were recently astonished when ListenFirst reported that Jungkook had propelled Calvin Klein to the number one spot in social media engagement during Fashion Week, achieving 12.9 million engagement points.

Notably, these figures represent a 1,168% increase compared to the previous season. Calvin Klein also surpassed Michael Kors—a brand that had led the previous event with 4.2 million points and had maintained the top position for six years, or twelve seasons.

Stars such as Lily Collins and Emily Ratajkowski from the show Emily in Paris also attended Calvin Klein's Veronica Leoni collection, but the attention given to Jungkook eclipsed that of the Western celebrities, prompting widespread media praise: "Jungkook's debut powers Calvin Klein's revival at NYFW," "Jungkook's appearanve has placed Calvin Klein at the top for the first time in six years," and "This is an iconic event demonstrating K-pop stars' influence on the Western fashion world."

 While the world was going "sensation" over Jungkook's appearance at the Calvin Klein SS26 show, he himself seemee quite composed, offering fair, personal observation when asked by fans during his boradcast. He was careful with his words but did not hide his genuine feelings.

"How was the show in New York? Hmm... hmm... First of all it's my first time being in a show like that, so it was a bit hectic. But I did say what I wanted? It's not my type... Wait, I can't say that... It was better than I expected but I don't think I enjoy them a lot," he expressed.

He also spoke about the brand's after-party experience following the fashion show. "The party? Ah, there seems to be a misunderstanding... by 'is this a party?' I didn't mean something like 'this is not even a party' or something but more like... 'ah, what even is this party?' I had schedule the next day, so I had to leave even before the DJ got started."

 

This comment immediately caught fans' attention because of its candidness. Without trying to give flattering remarks, he simply shared his true feelings: attending a lavish, internationally significant event for the first time, meeting many celebrities, encountering many interesting things—but he was overwhelmed and seemed somewhat out of place in the lively atmosphere.

He also could not fully enjoy the after-party due to the tight schedule and feeling awkward at such an event. In several videos circulated online during the event, ARMYs noticed that most of his time was spent taking photos for the press, posing and conversing with other celebritie and Calvin Klein's officials, after which he quickly left. Therefore, it's not surprising that Jungkook shared these feelings.

  

 

From his perspective, Fashion Week was not as impressive as the world's reaction to his presence suggested. He won fans' hearts through his honest, authenticity, and relatibility.

 

ARMYs Comments

1. Ohh I see. So attending fashion showsis not his cup of tea. He is so honest

2. This is the best way of saying he was not into it. It's oke baby. We all know what your type is

3. Jungkook is brutally honest. It's fine he stayed for sometime atleast

4. LMAO. He is so real. I also found these shows so boring

5. "It's not my type" LMAO he's so real. I love him so much

6. "It's not my type... Wait I can't say that." I FREAKING LOVE HIM. Even if he didn't say it, we know he didn't enjoyed that much cuz he left early and also bc of the "is this even a party" he said for the after party

7. Why he is not allowed to say that? Just because he's an ambassador doesn't mean he can't say he disliked something right? Especially something like a fashion show. Some people like it other don't

8. I like his honesty! I think BTS members don't like fashion events that much

9. Usually, celebrities don't dare speak their minds even if they don't like something, for fear of offending the brand—but he doesn't. Of course, Calvin Klein fears losing him even more

10. Calvin Klein's colorful underwear please him more than parties or fashion shows like that. LMAO—he really is a brand ambassador who genuinely cares about the customers

11. The boys' sincerity with the fandom is so immense that something always slips out, lol. I love my BTS
