BTS member Jin delighted fans and fashion enthusiasts alike on January 4, 2026, with an 11-second video shared across official channels to announce his upcoming photoshoot for Marie Claire Korea, in his role as global ambassador for luxury jewelry brand Fred. The clip, which aligns with the brand’s 60th anniversary celebrations for its iconic Force 10 collection, showcases Jin’s signature elegance and poetic charm, further cementing his status as a leading style icon since his return from military service.
Dressed in a refined, tailored ensemble that complements his sophisticated aura, Jin addresses viewers with a heartfelt message, reciting lines from his 2024 solo track featured on the Happy mini-album: “When the warm spring breeze blows, I’ll come to you.” The lyrical reference adds an intimate, personal touch to the announcement, connecting his artistic identity with the high-fashion collaboration.
Jin was named global ambassador for Fred in 2024, ahead of his mandatory military enlistment, and has since fronted several high-profile campaigns for the French luxury house. This latest partnership with Marie Claire Korea coincides with the brand’s milestone celebration of the Force 10 collection, which was first launched in 1966 and has become renowned for its bold, nautical-inspired design symbolizing strength and connection. The new high jewelry line being highlighted in the shoot features updated interpretations of the collection’s signature cable motif, crafted with diamonds and precious gemstones.
The video arrives seven months after Jin completed his military service in June 2025. Since his discharge, he has made a triumphant return to public life, releasing new music, making surprise appearances at BTS events, and continuing his work with leading international luxury brands. His post-service projects have been met with overwhelming support from fans, known as ARMY, who have praised his continued growth as an artist and public figure.
Reaction to the announcement was immediate, with fans taking to social media to share their excitement. Many described Jin as “their moon shining brighter,” a reference to his long-standing nickname among fans, and expressed eagerness to see the full photoshoot when it is published. Industry analysts note that Jin’s partnerships with brands like Fred and publications like Marie Claire Korea reflect his broad global appeal, as well as his ability to blend artistic authenticity with luxury style.
Details about the exact release date of the Marie Claire Korea feature have not yet been announced, but the brand has teased that the shoot will showcase the new Force 10 collection alongside looks that capture Jin’s timeless and versatile sense of fashion.
