The exclusive event hosted around 400 invitees, and media swarmed the venue to capture the global celebrities in attendance.
Among the celebrities who attended was fellow global star BTS‘s Jungkook, who was named a global ambassador for Calvin Klein in March.
It’s not often that fans are able to see members of the two global power groups interact at events, and netizens eagerly hung onto crumbs of “interactions” as videos showed BTS’s Jungkook and BLACKPINK’s Jennie mingling with different event guests while in the same room at the launch party.

Two months after the launch event, the netizens who hoped for videos of proper interactions between Jennie and Jungkook at the official event seem to have finally gotten their wish!
In a newly available video taken from an attendee’s livestream of the event, Jennie, who was praised for being a model host during the event, quickly greeted who appeared to be Jungkook as she made her way around the room.
