The Gucci announcement comes on the heels of Jin’s trip to Paris where he carried the torch for South Korea during the 2024 Summer Olympics. The 31-year-old K-Pop idol, who is the eldest member of BTS, was released from an 18-month mandatory military service in June.

Rumors of a possible partnership began swirling online after Gucci reportedly sent gifts to Jin following his military release.

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