Was it a love letter to become a brand ambassador?
A huge designer brand left gifts outside HYBE for BTS‘s Jin following his military discharge.
Although Jin had just been discharged, he was ready to go back into idol mode with a free hug event and special performance for 2024 FESTA.
On June 14, one ARMY who visited HYBE shared that they saw a group of gifts waiting outside the building for Jin… from Gucci.
During 2024 FESTA, ARMYs shared that Jin was wearing Gucci loafers.

In the photo, there was a big balloon with purple and gold confetti, flowers, a cake, and lots of bags with items from the brand. It definitely looked extravagant and considering the impact Jin’s discharge has had, it’s not surprising.
미틴?

When the photos were posted on social media, netizens couldn’t get over the amount and quality of the gifts from Gucci. In particular, with Jin being the only member without a solo ambassador role for a designer brand (aside from Jin Ramen), it could be a hint at either an already confirmed deal or the brand trying to “woo” Jin.

Is Jin working with Gucci? Does Gucci want to work with Jin? Only time will tell.
