BTS member Jimin opens a new chapter of his career through a striking fashion feature with Vogue Korea, presenting a refined and confident image as he steps into 2026 with fresh energy and artistic depth.
Titled “A New Season of Jimin,” the pictorial marks his first major magazine shoot following his military discharge and captures a moment of transition, growth, and anticipation ahead of BTS’s long awaited full group comeback.
Leading Dior’s New Season
For the shoot, Jimin became the face of Dior’s 2026 Spring and Summer and Pre-Fall collections, styled under the creative direction of Jonathan Anderson. He showcased a wide range of looks that blended classic tailoring with modern preppy elements, including velvet suits, knit capes, structured jackets, wide pants, denim layers, and embroidered vests.
His styling reflected Dior’s evolving identity with a balance of formality and freedom, highlighting both his soft youthful charm and a more mature masculine presence.
Minimal makeup and clean hairstyles allowed his natural features to stand out, while each outfit emphasized movement, volume, and texture. The pictorial revealed Jimin as both a fashion muse and a versatile performer capable of expressing multiple moods through style.
A Mature Artist at a Turning Point
In the accompanying interview, Jimin spoke candidly about personal growth and artistic direction. Reflecting on the years since his first solo album FACE and his second release MUSE, he shared that his mindset has changed more than his outward image.
“I think more deeply now about what I want to do and how I want to live,” he said, adding that he has become more thoughtful about his goals and creative choices.
Jimin also addressed BTS’s upcoming full group return scheduled for March 20. While joking about the members’ physical age, he expressed sincere hope that their new album would represent the group at its strongest stage yet.
He revealed that one of the central questions during album production was, “What is the most BTS-like version of ourselves?” He explained that the upcoming group release reflects deeper 고민 and intention than ever before.
Health, Dance, and Artistic Balance
Discussing his current routine, Jimin emphasized the importance of health and injury prevention as he prepares for future performances. He shared that rehabilitation and balanced training have become a priority.
Although he admitted that he now spends less time dancing than before, his passion remains unchanged. He continues to search for the original sensations and discipline that shaped him as a performer.
Fashion as Quiet Expression
Jimin described his personal fashion philosophy as subtle elegance rather than bold statements. He expressed preference for clean silhouettes with tasteful details, explaining that beauty lies in restraint and natural balance.
Recently, he has begun experimenting with brighter tones while still favoring comfortable fabrics and simple structures.
He praised Dior for understanding his aesthetic and said he feels grateful to work with a house that blends classical heritage with modern creativity.
Looking Toward BTS’s Next Chapter
Throughout the interview, Jimin repeatedly highlighted the importance of BTS and ARMY in his life. He shared that every moment, from everyday routines to major artistic achievements, is deeply connected to the group and their fans.
As BTS prepares to reunite as seven, Jimin stands at a meaningful turning point. Calm, reflective, and quietly confident, he presents not only a new fashion season but also a renewed artistic identity.
From Dior’s refined tailoring to heartfelt reflections on music, teamwork, and growth, “A New Season of Jimin” captures an artist ready to welcome both a new era and a long awaited return to the stage.
