Jungkook’s New Look for BTS Comeback Sparks Buzz Among Fans
BTS’ Jungkook is facing backlash over his styling in the latest “SWIM” teaser.
The controversy began when BTS dropped their second teaser for “SWIM” on March 18, a track from their upcoming album ARIRANG. Fans quickly noticed Jungkook’s outfit stood out — especially his buttons.
In the teaser, BTS appears on a ship wearing black nautical-inspired uniforms. But Jin and Suga’s outfits have no buttons, while Jungkook’s jacket is covered in them. Some fans joked Jungkook looks like a calculator or that he “stole” all the buttons from Jin and Suga.
Fans flooded social media with reactions like:
“the oldest hyungs who have the lowest likelyhood of not taking their clothes off get 0 button while the notoriously naked maknae gets 28.” — yuki-rang⁷ (ia)
“jungkook why did you steal all of yoonjin’s buttons” — mary⁷
“why bro looks like a calculator” — ♤ Sierra⁷
“BigHit styling team compensating for past battles lost … ” — Beyond ARMY | ⊙⊝⊜⁷
As the situation unfolded, fans found humor in the styling choices, joking that HYBE’s stylists are making up for Jungkook’s past on-stage button mishaps.
ARIRANG is set to release on March 20, 2026.
