BTS's Jin adds a new title to his resume: Gucci global ambassador. The K-Pop star was named the luxury fashion brand's global ambassador on Wednesday (August 7).
“I am very excited to welcome Jin as a global brand ambassador,” Gucci creative director Sabato De Sarna said in a statement according to Women's everyday clotheswhich first reported the news.
“His warm and kind personality is truly magnetic and his style is simply unique. He is a generous and extraordinary artist who can move people with his music, which makes us even more honored to share this journey with him,” added De Sarna.
In honor of the new collaboration, Gucci released a photo campaign featuring Jin wearing pieces from the Italian fashion house's spring/summer 2025 menswear collection.
Gucci's announcement comes after Jin's trip to Paris where he carried the torch for South Korea during the 2024 Summer Olympics. The 31-year-old K-Pop icon, who is the oldest member of BTS, was released from an 18-month mandatory military service in June.

Now that it's official with Gucci, Jin joins the rest of BTS in securing collaborations in the world of luxury fashion. Fellow BTS member Jimin is a global ambassador for Dior, V is an ambassador for Celine, Junkgook became an ambassador with Calvin Klein, RM was named a global ambassador for Bottega Veneta, Suga is an ambassador for Valentino, and J-Hope became Louis Vuitton ambassador.
