Fans speculate future brand deals for BTS' Jin after recent sightings in Gucci and Alo outfits
The BTS vocalist is often seen wearing Alo and Gucci; however, there is no confirmation of a brand deal. Fans are convinced that an announcement is coming soon.
On July 7, 2024, the singer posted pictures on Instagram wearing a grey Alo Sports Club sweater knit polo while seemingly working on new music. This was the most recent time he was spotted wearing one of the two brands.
As for Gucci, on his return from the Paris Olympics 2024, where he served as a torchbearer, the BTS member was spotted in a complete Gucci ensemble at Incheon Airport, South Korea. He wore an oversized washed denim shirt, stonewashed baggy cotton jeans, a backpack, and Re-Web sneakers.
Additionally, upon the singer's return from military service, Gucci reportedly sent lavish gifts in maroon bags and a cake with "GUCCI X JIN" written on it. Fans who noticed the gifts outside the HYBE building began speculating about a possible collaboration. These recent developments have only strengthened the rumors.
He is currently the only BTS member who has completed his military service and is now occupied with filming various content, participating in variety show shoots, and preparing for his solo debut album.
