He wore a striking grey suit, a long overcoat, and a red jade belt inspired by traditional Joseon-era attire. He completed the look with a wide-brimmed hat and paid tribute to his heritage, seamlessly blending it with modern sophistication. The ensemble received praise from Vogue editors, who called it a perfect reflection of his calm confidence and cinematic flair. The event celebrated the union of fashion and film, featuring seven themed chapters honoring genres like historical epics, westerns, and science fiction. In Vogue’s live stream, Taehyung was seen in the front row, sitting next to Dakota Johnson and Cynthia Erivo. Publications, including Vogue Korea, highlighted how his attention to detail, such as the 120-year-old antique watch from Korea’s King Gojong era he wore, showed his deep understanding of cultural storytelling through fashion.KTHP @taeperformsLINKtaehyung is wearing a watch that came from abroad during the Gojong period 120 years ago and he wore a norigae, a traditional korean pendant worn with hanboks, love how he incorporated korean culture in both his looks!Regional Vogue editions, such as Vogue Italy and Vogue Japan, also published dedicated features on Taehyung.

Currently, Taehyung is preparing with other BTS members for their comeback album and world tour next year.
