BTS star Jimin made a head-turning return to public life at Paris Fashion Week’s Dior Spring/Summer 2026 Womenswear showcase in a shirtless look. It marks his first major public outing since completing military service in June. As Dior’s Global Ambassador, Jimin took his front-row seat at the Tuileries Garden on October 1, where the brand unveiled creative director Jonathan Anderson’s debut collection. And true to form, his fashion statement became one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
Jimin flexed his bare chest in an edgy look wearing just a sleek black Dior blazer. It featured sharp satin lapels and padded shoulders framing his toned physique. The jacket’s open cut gave the outfit a daring and suave appeal, perfectly balanced by the sophistication of full-length sleeves and tailored structure.
He paired it with low-rise, flared black leather pants and matching Chelsea boots, completing the look with layered rings, statement earrings, and a delicate gold necklace studded with gemstones. His blonde hair with centre parting and semi-wet finish added to the sultry and effortless shirtless look.
Expectedly, the BTS Army could keep calm. As a result, social media was flooded with reactions ranging from “boyfriend-coded” to “internet-breaking,” with fans declaring Jimin’s shirtless Paris Fashion Week look as one of his boldest appearances yet.
Even before stepping onto Dior’s stage, Jimin made headlines with his relaxed airport fashion. His departure from Incheon was nothing short of a style statement where he wore a partially unbuttoned beige shirt, wide-legged black trousers, and carried an oversized bag that casually slung over his shoulder. His platinum-blonde hair and metallic glasses added just the right mix of polish and nonchalance, sparking a wave of admiration online.
Away from the Paris Fashion Week runway, Jimin has been in the news for his family’s philanthropy. Together with his father and younger brother Ji-hyun, he recently joined the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation’s Green Noble Club. It’s an initiative recognising donors who contribute over 100 million won (about $72,000) to support child welfare programs. With such a generous donation, Jimin and his family have become the first family in Korea to achieve the milestone.
Meanwhile, popular K-Pop boy-band BTS, is now reunited after all its seven members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have fulfilled their military duties. The Korea-based band travelled to Los Angeles earlier this year to begin work on their much-anticipated album, scheduled for release in Spring 2026 as fans early await their concerts and shows worldwide.
