\n\tJung Kook<\/a> of BTS<\/a> has found a pair of jeans that are roomy enough for him to cut loose in \u2014 footloose, to be precise. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe K-pop star is the face of Calvin Klein\u2019s latest campaign, repping the brand\u2019s \u201990s jean in all three of its forms \u2014 baggy, relaxed and straight \u2014 in photos and a video posted Tuesday (Feb. 24). The dynamic visual finds Jung Kook stopping through a New York City record store and listening to different genres, each of which transports him to a different dance-filled fantasy.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn one daydream, the performer meditates and watches ocean waves from a tranquil seaside house, and in another, he bounces around from wall to wall in a liminal orange room. The final sequence shows Jung Kook channeling Kevin Bacon while dancing to Kenny Loggins\u2019 1984 Billboard Hot 100<\/a> No. 1 hit \u201cFootloose\u201d in the record store, momentarily forgetting himself before realizing that he\u2019s back in the real world when an employee \u2014 played by Rosie Perez \u2014 reminds him, \u201cThis is a record store, not a dance floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI love Calvin Klein jeans because they\u2019re designed to be lived in,\u201d Jung Kook said in a statement about the partnership. \u201cThe looks I wore for this campaign nod to \u201890s style while feeling completely modern. It was exciting to bring together my love of music, dance and fashion against the energy of the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe campaign comes amid an exciting time for Jung Kook, who\u2019s gearing up to drop Arirang, his first album with his BTS bandmates since 2020\u2019s Be, on March 20. In April, the septet will kick off its highly anticipated world tour, beginning with a string of shows in Goyang, South Korea.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut even before the boy band was gearing up to make its big comeback, Jung Kook was working with Calvin Klein. This past October, he all but broke the internet<\/a> with an ad for the denim company showing off his impressive abs, and he also starred in CK campaigns in 2024<\/a> and 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n
