It won't be next spring, or the one after, but one day, spring will come back and we will get to be together again. Color will return to the world and we will all be able to smile and forget the chill of winter. So, until spring comes, I'll keep them safe inside my heart.

He was announced as the global ambassador for Calvin Klein Jeans and Underwear in March 2023, and starred in the Spring campaigns since then, showcasing denim and casual styles. His campaigns, photographed by notable figures like Mert Alas and Park Jong Ha, have significantly boosted Calvin Klein’s sales and visibility, with collections selling out quickly in multiple countries.

In May 2026 Calvin Klein released the limited “Jung Kook for Calvin Klein” capsule, his first official fashion collaboration with the brand alongside continued seasonal campaigns such as the 2025 holiday and Spring 2026 denim work. Jungkook’s influence extends beyond formal endorsements. Known as the “sold-out king,” items he wears or uses, such as Nike Dunk Low Halloween sneakers, priced at USD 110 but resold for USD 200–500 after his endorsement, often see massive demand spikes. His casual mentions, like praising the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, also boosted the show’s popularity.

JUNGKOOK is a very active philanthropist! He donated ₩1 billion (US$874,164.08) to the Seoul National University Children's Hospital in April 2023 for treatment expenses of patients from low-income families and the hospital's integrated care center! In March 2025, Jung Kook donated a massive ₩1 Billion (US$874,164.08) to the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association in March 2025, after the wildfires in Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam, then the largest individual celebrity donation for that disaster, with 500 million won for emergency aid and supplies for people who lost their homes and 500 million won for firefighter support, awareness, and on-site kits. Jungkook made history, becoming the first member of Hope Bridge’s Honors Legacy program, launched in December 2025 to recognize donors of 1 Billion won or more during national emergencies!

Jungkook is the one the whole world looks for, and once they find him, they never look away...

Today we mourn Tim Curry—a singular talent, a true original, and the man who first brought Dr. Frank-N-Furter to life. He didn’t just play an icon; he created one. Thank you, Tim, for the brilliance, courage, inspiration, and everything that followed. You will never be forgotten.

“But if death comes for me peacefully and I fade gently from light into dark oblivion, why would I be afraid of it? Sometimes, I rather think it would be a comfort.”

Thank you for everything, Tim ❤️

[Virens @bentley_demon]

The hits just keep coming. Tim Curry now? The man who pulled off fishnets better than most strippers. Dance on Lord of Darkness, Doctor Frank-n-furter, pirate Captain, just don't tip the Oarman's boat on the ride. Hail the Traveler.

Astronomy teaches us that when a star dies, its light doesn’t disappear. It keeps traveling through the universe long after the star itself is gone.

Dolly Parton feels like that kind of star.

[Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum @countrymusichof]

“Dolly Parton’s legacy is not celebrity, but humanity. She came from poverty to become the most important native of Tennessee. She shared her fortunes for the good of all of us, and shared her soul in every note she sang.” –Kyle Young, CEO

[Zoo Knoxville @zooknoxville]

Our hearts hurt today, but we are so thankful to have witnessed the extraordinary life of Dolly Parton and the immeasurable impact she made here in East Tennessee and around the world.

We will always love you, Dolly.

[Jeopardy! @Jeopardy]

We will always love you 😔🤍

[Pride @Pride]

Dolly Parton never wavered in her belief that everyone deserved to live openly, love freely and be accepted exactly as they are. As the world mourns the loss of an irreplaceable icon, her words remain as powerful as ever.

Rest in peace, Dolly.
