On October 26, 2025, BTS’ Kim Taehyung became the first Korean artist to appear at Vogue World: Hollywood at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. The fashion showcase featured him displaying two distinct looks. For his daytime appearance, he chose a custom piece by Korean designer Jaybaek Couture. His outfit included a long gray overcoat secured with a crimson belt attached with a norigae. The look drew inspiration from Joseon-era royal attire. For his second look, V selected a sharp gray suit. Along with a Cartier watch, he also wore an antique pocket watch, over 120 years old, dating back to King Gojong’s reign. At the event, the K-pop star was seen with lipstick smudges on his cheeks. Additionally, Anna Wintour approached him and held his hand as she moved around to meet other attendees.His seat was positioned just a few spots away from hers. Teen Vogue Director and Vogue’s West Coast head, Lisa Love, also stopped by to personally say hello. Inside, V was seen sitting next to actress Cynthia Erivo and was photographed with Dakota Johnson and Lizzo. His interactions are attracting a lot of attention online.
