Jung Kook’s holiday style, according to Jung Kook, is mostly denim. On Monday (Nov. 9), Calvin Klein released its Holiday 2026 campaign, a personal edit the BTS singer curated from his favorite pieces and shot by Alasdair McLellan, per Complex and Billboard. “There are certain Calvin Klein styles that I always come back to — especially the denim,” he said.

In the minute-long film, Billboard says, he dances, strikes silly poses, does cartwheels, plays with bouncy balls and mimes driving away on an invisible motorbike. Watch it below.

The edit runs to different-colored jeans, logo shirts, belts and jewelry, per Billboard, plus underwear and outerwear. Complex adds that the holiday season brings new logo staples and festive styles from the house.

For this holiday edit, I had fun taking some of the most iconic fits and styling them in new ways for the season. I like that you can dress them up or keep things simple and still make each look your own.

He has fronted the brand for years, and 2026 is the year he went deeper. In February he starred in a denim campaign. In May he helped design his first Calvin Klein capsule, which he said let him “fully immerse” himself in the creative process. September brought the third chapter of the house’s Fall 2026 “Feel the Fit” denim campaign, directed by Renell Medrano and set to Bobby Brown’s “My Prerogative” and the Average White Band’s “Cut the Cake,” Billboard reported.

He is the constant at a house in transition. Last month Calvin Klein said Veronica Leoni would leave Calvin Klein Collection, with a successor to come “in due course,” as we reported.

The campaign lands while BTS are mid-tour behind ARIRANG, their comeback album, which spent three weeks atop the Billboard 200. HYBE has said more tour dates are coming and has teased new music from the group and its members, Billboard notes, so a follow-up to Jung Kook’s 2023 album Golden may not be far off.
