Five-time Grammy-nominated group BTS’ oldest member, Kim Seok-jin has everything to be deemed as the K-pop icon he is: a soothing voice, groovy dancing skills, incredible visuals, and a great fashion sense. Jin has just finished his 18-month mandatory military service, making him the first BTS member to complete his duties. He has been nicknamed WWH aka Worldwide Handsome, by both the Army (BTS fanbase) and himself. From his concept photos of Butter to Astronaut, his fashion game is always worth pining to our Pinterest boards and as the newly appointed global ambassador of Gucci’s he is indeed going to be centre of attention.

Jin’s relationship with Gucci is a notable highlight in his fashion career, which a lot of us feel was long overdue. As a member of BTS, Jin has consistently been lensed flaunting impeccable style be it his music videos or pubic apperances. If we have to give his style a title, it would probably be Light Romantic Academia, apt for his Prince Charming appeal. The K-pop star is well-known for his love affair with soft tones, denims, and three-piece tuxedos. Ahead, we are dissecting some of Jin’s enduringly iconic looks featuring Gucci and some more luxury maisons:
Retro Rewind
One of the most fan favourite looks Jin stunned in, is this retro concept for BTS’ 2020 seasonal greetings. Decked in a head-to-toe Gucci look with those Harry Potter-ish glasses, he made fans fill the comment section with purple hearts in adoration.
Sweater Weather
There’s nothing more comfortable than a warm and cosy sweater in this chilly weather. And Jin’s pastel ombre yellow jumper in his single, Astronaut can be an inspiration for your next coffee run.
Disney Dreams
Jin has always been hailed as a Disney prince by the Army. There’s something about the singer, dressed in white that gives him an almost fairytale-like persona.
Boy Next Door
This style can be coded as the peak Pinterest boyfriend aesthetic. Jin nails this classic boy next door or a rom-com look with a black leather jacket and Converse sneakers.
Runway Ready
Many fans would agree when we say he could have also been a dapper model as the artist has been seen in many high-fashion looks. His Louis Vuitton campaign made waves on social media upon its release.
Skirt Love
While it is normal for many male celebrities to be pictured or styled in a skirt at the moment, the K-pop star has been rocking the pleated skirt trend since the early days of his career, before it became cool. You will find him layering denim or pleated skirts over jeans and dress pants occasionally.
