BTS member Jungkook has reached another milestone in his career after his collaboration with Calvin Klein became the brand’s most successful partnership ever.
PVH Corp., Calvin Klein’s parent company, confirmed the result during its recent first-quarter earnings conference call, crediting the “Jungkook for Calvin Klein (CKJK)” collection for spurring record demand around the world.
According to AllKPop, PVH CEO Stefan Larsson called CKJK “the biggest collaboration in Calvin Klein’s history,” saying the collection generated unprecedented global demand, strong fan engagement and rapid sell-outs in multiple markets.
According to the company, the collection achieved a 99% sales rate on Tmall in China, while pop-up stores in Los Angeles and Harajuku were completely sold out.
The outerwear worn by Jungkook also achieved a 60% sales rate within two weeks, and sales of CKJK-related products increased by more than 50% after the campaign launched.
Larsson described the strong response as the “Jung Kook effect,” noting that it has become a major growth driver for Calvin Klein’s underwear and denim business.
The collection also sold out through online stores and pop-up events across Asia, prompting Calvin Klein Japan to announce that select sold-out items will be restocked on June 30 due to huge demand.

Jungkook brings rebellious style to Calvin Klein
On June 24, PVH further celebrated the collaboration by publishing an article titled “5 Things to Know About CKJK” on its official website.
The company shared that the capsule collection was inspired by Jungkook’s love of motorcycles and included custom hardware, custom logos and other details that reflected his personal style.
The limited-edition collection reimagines Calvin Klein’s signature denim, leather and casual essentials through Jungkook’s creative vision. Featuring distressed denim, racing stripe accents, graphic tees, sweatshirts and leather jackets, the designs combine the brand’s classic look with the singer’s rebellious style.
Retail prices range from $29 to $699, and immersive retail pop-ups have launched in several countries to showcase the collection, People reported.
“Collaborating with Calvin Klein over the past few years has given me the opportunity to express myself through the brand’s iconic style,” said Jungkook. “As my first fashion collaboration, I wanted to fully immerse myself in the process. This capsule is authentic to my style and love of riding.”
David Savman, Global Brand President at Calvin Klein, praised the collaboration, saying, “Through Jung Kook’s lens, we are able to express a more personal side of the partnership. Together, we are reimagining our icons of today in a way that feels authentic, culturally resonant and globally compelling.”
