Jung Kook x Calvin Klein CKJK collection: Everything we know about BTS star’s first fashion collab

BTS’ Jung Kook is dropping his first-ever design collaboration with Calvin Klein on 20 May, and honestly, we’re not ready.

Remember when Jung Kook became Calvin Klein’s global brand ambassador back in 2023? Well, that partnership just levelled up. The K-pop superstar is now launching his own collection with the iconic brand, and fans are losing it, in the best way possible.

This isn’t just another celebrity endorsement deal. In fact, the CKJK collection marks Jungkook’s first foray into fashion design, making it a pretty big moment for both him and Calvin Klein.

Details about the collection have been kept pretty hush-hush, but Calvin Klein did drop a teaser video showing Jung Kook’s hand signing his name on the brand logo — cryptic, but enough to send the internet into a frenzy.

Eagle-eyed fans have been doing detective work, piecing together clues from Calvin Klein’s Pinterest page and leaked images. So far, it looks like we can expect denim pieces (very on-brand for CK), all stamped with CKJK branding.

There’s also a photo circulating of what appears to be Jungkook from behind, decked out in full denim, standing in what looks like the design studio.

Plus, there are hints of leather pieces featuring embossed CKJK initials.

The waiting game ends on Wednesday, 20 May, when the full collection goes live on the Calvin Klein website at 6am Singapore time. But if you want the full experience, there’s an exclusive CKJK pop-up store landing at ION Orchard’s Level 1 Atrium from 20 to 24 May (10am to 10pm daily).

Walk-ins aren’t encouraged. To skip the queues and guarantee your spot, pre-registration is the way to go. Trust us, you’ll want to book a slot in advance if you’re planning to check out the collection in person.

The CKJK pop-up store runs from 20 to 24 May at ION Orchard, Level 1 Atrium, 10am to 10pm daily. Register here to secure your slot.
