Jung Kook Returns Shirtless (Again) for Calvin Klein’s New Denim Campaign

He’s back — shirtless, smoldering, and in denim. Jung Kook has officially returned as Calvin Klein’s global ambassador, reminding us once again that minimalism can, in fact, make the loudest noise.

The BTS star fronts Calvin Klein’s new denim campaign — a stripped-down visual symphony of movement, muscle, and perfectly tailored jeans. Shot by Mert Alas, the imagery blends sensuality with simplicity: Jung Kook in dark denim, bare torso catching the light, and that iconic CK waistband making its inevitable cameo. It’s Calvin Klein nostalgia, but with a Gen Z pulse.

Every frame feels like an effortless performance — part rockstar, part sculpture. Between sleek black denim and washed-out blues, the styling stays intentionally pared back, letting form, fit, and texture do all the storytelling. It’s quiet confidence — the kind that doesn’t shout; it hums.

“I know my fans were waiting for this comeback,” Jung Kook said. “It feels amazing to be back wearing the brand’s iconic denim. The energy on a Calvin Klein set is always incredible.”

The campaign officially dropped on October 28 across Calvin Klein’s digital platforms, inviting fans not just to look, but to shop the look — an act of devotion disguised as retail therapy.
