BTS' j-hope continues collaboration with Louis Vuitton as a brand ambassador
In January 2025, j-hope marked his return to Men’s Fashion Week in Paris. It came just three months after he concluded his mandatory military service. The rapper hinted at a new music set for March 2025 through an Instagram post. Furthermore, his world tour, HOPE ON THE STAGE, will begin on February 28, 2025.

Meanwhile, the K-pop star continues his position as a Louis Vuitton ambassador. He headed to Paris for Louis Vuitton’s Fall - Winter 2025 event to attend and represent the label. Ahead of the display, led by Pharrell Williams, the Gwangju native posted about his excitement on his Instagram Story.
For the occasion, the 30-year-old sported a jacket with Williams’s new LV signature print and carried a bag with the brand’s iconic monogram. The standout addition was his fluffy gloves, a cozy detail ideal for the winter show.
Bangtan Boys' association with the French luxury house dates back to April 2021, when they were designated global ambassadors. Virgil Abloh was the men’s creative director of LV at that time.
Following their initial collaboration, the BTS members branched out for respective partnerships with diverse brands. The Chicken Noodle Soup star maintained his connection with Louis Vuitton. Soon, he officially became a house ambassador in February 2023.
In early 2025, j-hope shared a teaser clip on YouTube and Instagram for his next solo release, titled Beginning of a New Dream. The video shows him in Los Angeles, uniting with producers to a laid-back hip-hop beat. The caption reads:
"New music on the way. 2025.03."
This will be his first release arriving a year after his Hope on the Street Vol. 1 EP, which featured collaborations with Jungkook, Huh Yunjin, and Nile Rodgers.
