Since BTS hit the scene in 2013, they've grown into a global sensation in pop culture. They released hits after hits, and over a decade on, the band isn't showing any signs of slowing. However, BTS isn't just popular because of their music hits; they have also amassed a large following because of their savvy fashion sense. In this article, we'll look at the different frame styles peculiar to each member, including Jungkook glasses. 

In this article, we will look at how each member’s personality influences their choice of frames. Like every other K-pop band, each member of BTS has his unique personality and role within the band. And these are reflected in their fashion styles.

But before we look into each member's choice of eyeglasses, let's discuss the band a little. 

Origin of BTS

BTS is a South Korean boy band that started in 2010. It’s a seven-member band that comprises Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jungkook, RM, V, and Jimin. Their name is an acronym for Bangtan Sonyeondan, which translates to  Bulletproof Boy Scouts. However, they are commonly called the Bangtan Boys. Although BTS was put together by songwriter and music producer, Bang Si-Hyuk, who has also written songs for them, the members of the band have either co-written or co-produced most of their songs.

BTS is signed under Si-Hyuk’s entertainment record, Big Hit Entertainment. BTS started as a hip-hop band but has since expanded to other genres. Their lyrics have also focused on a wide range of subjects like the struggles of school-age youth, mental health, loss, coming of age, individualism, self-love, and the consequences of fame. 

BTS has won several accolades, including multiple Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, and Golden Disc Awards. They've also been nominated for Grammy Awards five times. Aside from music, they've been featured on Time's international magazine’s cover as “Next Generation Leaders.” They also featured on Time's list of the 25 most influential people on the Internet between 2017 and 2019.

The group announced in June 2022 that they'd be going on a break. This would allow them to complete their mandatory military service of 18 months with the South Korean military. They're scheduled to reunite in 2025. Jin, the eldest, was the first to enlist on December 13, 2022, and the rest joined in 2023.

BTS And Their Fashion Styles 

As we said earlier, each member of BTS has their individual personality, and it reflects on their style. They also seem to have favorite brands that style them. 

Jin favors the classic style that he pulls off effortlessly, thanks to Givenchy. RM prefers the comfortable feel of streetwear from the Japanese brands, Yamamoto, NEIGHBOURHOOD, and WTAPS. Suga, ever the pragmatist, loves his minimalist styles from Mastermind and Fear of God. J-Hope prefers Balenciaga and Supreme, while Jimin and V opt for Yves Saint Laurent, sport Chanel, and Gucci. Finally, Jungkook favors Carhartt. Irrespective of their favored brands, BTS always leaves their ARMY giddy with devotion.

If you’ve been living under a rock, and you’re wondering how and why a K-pop band would have an army, we aren’t talking about a country’s military outfit here. BTS’ worldwide fanbase is called ARMYs.

Jin And His Dapper D-Frames

We’ll start with Jin, also known by ARMYs as ‘worldwide handsome.’ Vocalist Kim Seokjin, affectionately called Jin for short, is the oldest member of the BTS. Every avid BTS fan knows Jin has been using prescription eyeglasses since he was little. He has even come out to state that he’s farsighted and needs high-power prescription lenses to correct his vision.

Jin doesn’t always wear eyeglasses, with contact lenses a better choice when performing or at a red carpet event. However, when he doesn’t use contacts, you’ll find him wearing eyeglasses with classic silhouettes. For example, he has been spotted a few times in black D-frame glasses. This frame suits him so well because it matches his boy-next-door vibe perfectly.

So, if you want a pair of glasses that helps you nail that stylish look but don’t want Jungkook glasses, Jin’s D-frame will do just as much. Another beautiful thing about D-frames is they are versatile enough to match all face shapes. 

Rm’s Stunning Rounded Specs

We all love the lyrical genius of RM (an acronym for Rap Monster), whose real name is Kim Namjoon. As of November 2018, Rm had a whopping 218 songs accredited to his name as the songwriter. RM also needs prescription glasses like Jin, his band member, but his prescription is for nearsightedness. Of course, he can’t always wear eyeglasses, but when he does, he prefers rounded frames.

We’ve seen him a few times looking dapper on interviews and red carpets, recently sporting some nice D-frames, and he’s left many swooning. As someone with an IQ of 148, he sure knows how to keep all the attention on his beautiful heart-shaped face and the brilliant mind inside his handsome brow line.

V And His Geometric Wireframes

On to the third Kim of the band; Kim Taehyung. V, as he is popularly known, is one of those faces every man dreams of and every woman appreciates. And as a star who knows he's got the looks, he makes sure to flaunt them by combining the trendiest fashion styles. He's also fashion savvy enough to pull off any fashion style flawlessly, and this includes his eyewear. Like the other two Kims, V also uses prescription eyeglasses, but his eyesight still allows him to wear non-prescription glasses, too. 

Of the BTS members, V boasts the most eclectic fashion sense, and he's always eager to try new fashion trends. And he always pulls it off perfectly, which is why he can look so flawlessly dapper in geometric frames. Geometric frames are suitable for all face shapes. They're especially flattering on faces with rounded features because they introduce angles to the face. 

J-Hope Looking Dapper In Aviators

J-Hope is the only member of BTS that doesn't need any form of prescription eyeglasses. Jung Hoseok (J-Hope) is the lead rapper and dancer of the band. Although he doesn't need prescription lenses, he loves accentuating his looks with non-prescription eyeglasses whenever possible. 

J-Hope loves street styles, and you can tell from his dress. For example, he has a penchant for retro aviator glasses. It's a fashion-savvy choice, too, considering the classic teardrop shape of aviators complements his high cheekbones very well. It also helps that he chooses glasses with subtle tints that add to his effortlessly cool aura. J-Hope’s aviator sunglasses offer another classy alternative to Jungkook glasses. 

Jungkook’s Quirky Stylish Frames

Jungkook is well known for his charisma and powerful stage presence. His tattoos and piercings add to his enigmatic aura. But ARMYs know Jungkook (whose full name is Jeon Jung-kook) is a softie deep down. Of the BTS crew, he has the quirkiest, bubbliest personality. That is reflected in his choice of sunglasses, usually round, quirky metal frames. 

Jungkook glasses have a mild prescription, which also adds to his preference for thin frames. A case in study is this black and gold frame sunglasses. If you wish to pull off Jungkook’s look, but your lens prescription is higher, you can go for high-index lenses that look thinner. This will allow you to use thinner frames. 

Jimin In Fun Square Frames

Now, let's talk about the most empathetic member of the band, Park Jimin. Jimin’s kind heart makes him always ensure everyone around him feels valued. Even his band members have regularly praised his sincerity and ability to match any vibe. His versatile personality allows him to adapt to different people, surroundings, and situations. 

Besides his personality, Jimin is talented at bringing out the best in people around him. His ability to see through people is reflected in his choice of translucent, square eyeglass frames. The beauty of square glasses is they highlight your best features. If you go for oversized frames like Jimin, you also enjoy the youthful and fun vibe it adds to your looks. 

Suga In These Smart Browline Frames

Min Yoongi, popularly known as Suga, is the cool, calm, and collected one in the band, probably because of his hyung lineage. Suga is more logical and strategic, and you can tell from how well he balances different projects all at once. Suga is not just a rapper; he's a producer and a songwriter as well. Like most of his band members, he requires prescription eyeglasses to help him work effectively. 

You can tell Suga has a pragmatic view of things by his choice of eyeglasses. He prefers glasses with angular browline frames. Although at first glance, he looks quite serious in those glasses; you realize later that the glasses pair with a lot of fun styles, actually. 

Conclusion

And it's a wrap! It's amazing how the seven different members of a band can have this much diversity in personality and fashion style. From Jungkook glasses to Jin, V, and the rest, you see how they find ways to express their personalities, even with their eyewear. You can also join this trend by finding the right frame that fits your personality and letting your eyewear do the talking.
