As global fans are well aware, on December 11, Chanel officially appointed Jungkook as its Global Ambαѕѕador for Fragrance & Beauty. Chanel thus became the second luxury brand, after Calvin Klein, to receive Jungkook’s nod — a rare decision from the artist who was once described by Monica Kim, former editor at Vogue, as someone whom “at least three top fashion houses fought hard to get, but were turned away.”

The Golden Maknae of BTS is known for being exceptionally selective when it comes to ambαѕѕadorial partnerships. His core principle is that he must genuinely love the brand, want to work with it, and — most importantly — have experienced it firsthand as a long-time customer. Against this backdrop, Chanel’s collaboration with the BTS superstar initially came as a surprise to many, given Jungkook’s free-spirited image, which seemingly contrasts with the maison’s clαѕѕically elegant DNA.

However, Chanel addressed this curiosity by emphasizing a vision that goes beyond conventional brand communication. The house reaffirmed that while it has always pursued timeless beauty, it also remains open to embracing new expressions of the era. In Jungkook, Chanel found a figure capable of conveying its philosophy of beauty — one that celebrates diversity and individuality — in more creative ways, with truly global resonance.

Three days after the historic announcement, Chanel partnered with leading fashion publication ELLE Magazine to release its first promotional content featuring Jungkook, immediately capturing worldwide attention. Although Jungkook’s appearance was brief, fans were completely captivated by the poetic atmosphere he embo∂ιєd and the cinematic narrative of the video.

Fans were particularly drawn to ELLE’s romantic description: “The scent he experienced in the historic space where Gabrielle Chanel lived for over 30 years. The moment he was hearing the echoes of Gabrielle Chanel.” Especially striking were the scenes of Jungkook strolling through the iconic Paris Ritz “Coco Chanel Suite” — the very space once inhabited by legendary designer Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel — as well as the moment he stood behind the Chanel No.5 bottle, the legendary fragrance launched by Madame Chanel in 1921. These visuals left viewers utterly mesmerized.

It is known that Ritz Paris is one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, located at Place Vendôme, Paris. Coco Chanel lived at the Ritz for 34 years, from 1937 until her pαѕѕing in 1971. Within this very suite, she created some of her most valuable collections, built her luxury empire, and hosted the most powerful figures of the 20th century. The room itself stands as a perfect embodiment of Chanel’s spirit: beige, wнιтe, and soft gold tones, clαѕѕic French interiors, and symbolic motifs such as No.5, camellias, and the lion — Chanel’s zodiac emblem.

Today, this suite is not always open to the public and is typically reserved for ultra-VIP guests or special visits by influential figures. It is also used selectively in historically significant fashion content due to its immense symbolic value. Therefore, Jungkook’s appearance in the “Coco Chanel Suite” unmistakably reflects his stature and influence, as well as his profound connection with the house in his role as Global Ambαѕѕador.

Fans were deeply moved to see Jungkook standing within a space so rich in fashion history and French cultural heritage, intimately tied to one of the most influential women in the world. The convergence of past and present — of Madame Chanel and global ambαѕѕador Jungkook — portrayed in the video sent literal shivers down viewers’ spines from sheer αωє and emotional impact. Overwhelmed by the moment, fans took to social media to exclaim:

- Jungkook’s invitation to stay in Suite Coco Chanel—a historic, exclusive space inside the Ritz Paris where Coco Chanel herself lived for over 30 years, shows how valuable he's to the brand. OMG I love these scenes so much, so insane

- Truly a King treatment and he deserves it. The convergence of the founder of Chanel’s enduring spirit and Jungkook as a symbol of a new era created an audacious narrative, elevated by an utterly clαѕѕic setting.

- Wherever he goes, he receives the highest level of treatment and support — because he is one of the most popular and influential stars on the planet.
Jungkook’s true value shines even more clearly outside. Even without any fan bias, this incident is regarded as a genuine “top-tier” symbol by industry standards.
