Jin received Wootteo cake and gifts from famous luxury brand
On the 14th of June, a member of the BTS fanbase, ARMY, who visited HYBE headquarters, reported witnessing a collection of gifts awaiting Jin, including items from Gucci. During the 2024 FESTA event, ARMYs noted Jin wearing Gucci loafers in a shared photo. The scene featured a large balloon adorned with purple and gold confetti, bouquets of flowers, a Wooteo cake, and numerous bags filled with items from the luxury brand.
Given the impact of Jin's military discharge, the lavish display didn't come as a surprise. When photos were posted on social media, netizens were impressed by the abundance and quality of the French luxury brand gifts. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that Jin is the only BTS member without a solo ambassador role for a designer brand (apart from Jin Ramen), leading to speculation about a potential existing deal or the brand's interest in collaborating with him. Whether Jin is working with the brand or if the French luxury brand desires to collaborate with him remains to be seen.
Fans took to Twitter and expressed their excitement about the possible ambassadorship. One fan wrote, ‘Its only been a day since Seokjin got home and he already has a brand courting him’. Another fan said, ‘THE AMOUNT OF GIFT BAGS AND THE WOOTTEO CAKE THAT GUCCI SENT SEOKJIN OMG?!!’
