LOVE IN THE BUSINESS

BEHIND THE LENS

Jungkook sat in the sleek conference room of Vante’s Reign, waiting for the meeting to begin. The team had called for an urgent consultation with one of the most high-profile brands in the fashion world—Calvin Klein. There were whispers of a major international campaign, and Jungkook’s name had been floating around as a potential lead for the project.

This meeting could change everything. Though he was accustomed to the spotlight, Calvin Klein was on another level—global, iconic, and a platform that could take his career to new heights. The tension in the room was palpable, but Jungkook remained calm, ready for whatever was to come.

The Meeting Begins

The door opened, and a team of executives from Calvin Klein entered, followed closely by Vante’s Reign’s senior management. Jungkook glanced at the team, recognizing some of the faces—key figures in the fashion world. The room buzzed with energy as the meeting began.

Taehyung, notably absent from this meeting, had trusted the team to handle this without his direct involvement. This was a key moment for Jungkook, and the fact that the Calvin Klein team had flown in specifically to discuss the campaign was a testament to how serious they were.

A sharp-looking executive from Calvin Klein took the lead, outlining the campaign. “This is going to be our biggest campaign of the year,” she said. “We’re looking for someone who not only embodies the brand’s values but also has the charisma and presence to represent Calvin Klein on an international scale. After reviewing potential candidates, Jungkook’s name came up, and we’re interested in discussing this further.”

Jungkook felt a wave of excitement but maintained his composed exterior. He had expected this, but hearing it directly from them made it real.

Vante’s Reign’s head of marketing leaned forward. “Jungkook has proven himself not just as a musical artist but as a global icon. His reach, especially in international markets, aligns perfectly with your brand’s vision.”

The room seemed to agree. “We’re looking for authenticity,” another Calvin Klein representative added. “Someone who can wear the brand but also connect with it on a deeper level. Jungkook’s personality and appeal fit what we’re looking for.”

The conversation continued for over an hour, with the team from Calvin Klein presenting mood boards, visuals, and ideas for the shoot. They spoke about wanting to push boundaries, capturing something raw yet refined. The images would represent more than just fashion—they wanted to encapsulate a lifestyle, and they believed Jungkook could deliver that.

Jungkook is Chosen

As the meeting drew to a close, the decision was made. Jungkook was officially selected to be the face of the new Calvin Klein campaign. The Vante’s Reign team congratulated him, but the work was just beginning. The campaign would involve traveling abroad for a multi-day shoot, and the preparations had to begin immediately.

“We’ll need to coordinate the team that will be traveling with you,” Vante’s Reign’s project manager said. “This is a massive campaign, and we need everything to be perfect. You’ll be going with the editing and creative team, along with some of our best stylists and assistants.”

Jungkook nodded. His mind was already racing with thoughts of the upcoming shoot, the destination, and the work that lay ahead.

As they wrapped up the meeting, Eun Woo approached Jungkook. “Congrats, man. This is huge,” he said with a grin.

“Thanks,” Jungkook replied. “It feels unreal. I knew something big was coming, but Calvin Klein? That’s next level.”

Eun Woo laughed. “You deserve it. Just wait until you see where we’re headed. They’re talking about shooting in Spain—by the coast, incredible backdrops. You’ll kill it.”
