BTS star Jungkook flaunts sculpted abs as he poses for new Calvin Klein campaign… before the K-pop singer enlists for mandatory military service
BTS’ K-pop star Jungkook flaunted his chiseled abs in a Calvin Klein modeling campaign guaranteed to drive his fans mad.
The 25-year-old, who has just been named global brand ambassador for the iconic American fashion house, opened up in style in his new role.
In a series of new pictures, the singing sensation showed off his muscles as he went shirtless under a row of denim jackets.
A moody snap showed him shooting the camera with a come-here look while clasping his hands behind his head to open his jacket even wider.
Last year, BTS announced a temporary hiatus while its members serve South Korea’s mandatory military service.

Under his country’s law, men must serve 18 to 21 months in the military and enlist by the age of 28, which Jungkook will reach in September 2025.
Different members of the band join at different times, allowing those not currently on duty to pursue their own solo projects at some point.
Prior to his lively new Calvin Klein campaign, Jungkook’s work outside of BTS included playing the opening ceremony of last year’s scandal-ridden FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
He wrote a single called Dreamers specifically for the World Cup, where he performed it live with local Qatari singer Fahad Al Kubaisi.
Calvin Klein announced this Tuesday that Jungkook, whose full name is Jeon Jung-kook, has been named its global brand ambassador.
“I’ve been a long-time fan of Calvin Klein and am thrilled to be their newest global ambassador,” he said in a statement on the PVH brand’s parent company.
“This partnership is very special as heritage and brand values resonate with me. My music is how I communicate with my fans around the world and I see this partnership as an opportunity to connect with them in new ways.”
The international phenomenon added, “I’m incredibly excited for people to see a new side of me in this first campaign for the brand.”

Jungkook’s latest professional venture comes weeks after his old BTS bandmate RM shared his thoughts on the group’s future.
“When you’re famous, it’s very difficult to stay on top, but I think BTS will make it,” RM told Madrid news agency EFE.
“It will come together again when we finish our military service and we will look for new synergies between us to enter a second phase.”
However, 28-year-old RM, who was a solo rapper before starting his career on BTS, noted that “definitely nothing lasts forever”.
