BTS’ V Named Global Ambassador for Sportswear Brand Champion

V joins a cast of athletes and creators as Champion expands its True Champion fall campaign, which launches globally Monday.

  • BTS star Kim Taehyung, known as V, announced a global partnership with American sportswear brand Champion on August 11, leading the new "True Champion" campaign.
  • Founded in Rochester, New York, Champion is positioning itself as a cultural entity rather than purely activewear, utilizing V as a bridge between performance gear and everyday personal style.
  • The "True Champion" campaign features a diverse cast including Romeo Beckham, SOFI TUKKER, NBA athlete Kyle Kuzma, and Mexican singer Danna Paola, showcasing personalities redefining cultural boundaries through originality.
  • Calling the brand "a natural fit," V joins the project during a busy year for BTS, which recently performed at the FIFA World Cup Final and announced it will skip next year's Grammys.
  • The FW26 collection, featuring reverse-weave hoodies and sweatshirts, launches now through Champion and Target, offering mass-market reach that differentiates this partnership from V's luxury ambassadorships with Celine and Cartier.
