When Jungkook became the global ambassador for Calvin Klein, fans anticipated that he might end up posing shirtless for a campaign. It came true within a few days, and pictures of Jungkook in an unbuttoned denim shirt, with his abs peeking from underneath, sent fans into a frenzy.

While the performance became a hot social media topic, ARMYs couldn’t help freaking out over his styling for the show. They noticed that his shirt showed the contours of well-sculpted abs, even though it wasn’t a see-through material!
| @BBCTheOneShow/Twitter It turns out that the shirt he was wearing is part of Jean Paul Gaultier‘s Y/Project collection, which often involves optical illusion in its designs.
The specific product that Jungkook was wearing was a striped sleeveless vest top that reached down to the torso. Though the BTS member wore it tucked in, only showing the design’s six-pack part, it also includes the shape of a man’s v-line at the bottom! The piece retails for about ₩1.06 million KRW (about $825 USD).
| yproject.fr The faux six-pack’s impact on fans was so real that “THE SHIRT” started trending on Twitter soon after the performance!

But this is not the first time a BTS member has donned a risqué piece from Jean Paul Gaultier. Jimin had styled a pair of trousers from the Y/project‘s Fall/Winter 2022 collection with a white vest for a photo sketch from his solo album FACE. The pants had a print that gave the illusion of a pair of naked, toned legs.
