What sunglasses do BTS wear?
K-pop fan or casual observer, you can’t ignore the greatness of BTS (or Bangtan Sonyeondan). Seven very cool guys — V (Kim Tae Hyung), Jimin (Park Ji Min), Jin (Kim Seok Jin), Suga (Min Yoon Gi), J-Hope (Jung Ho Seok), RM (Kim Nam Joon) and Jungkook (Jeon Jeong-guk) — are the members of this multi-award-winning supergroup from South Korea.
They’ve been rocking the Korean popular music (K-pop) scene since their first single 2 Cool 4 Skool in 2013, with one smash hit after another that includes #1 Billboard charting Life Goes On in 2020, Dynamite in 2020 and Butter in 2021. The group weaves together genres of music, from hip hop and rap to R&B and electronic, with relatable lyrics and perfectly synchronized dancing. If you’re a music lover, you really can’t help but fall in love with BTS!

You’re not alone if you’re practicing your BTS-inspired dance moves in the mirror, catching yourself singing their tunes or even dressing like them. The BTS guys are major global influencers, and whatever they’re doing or wearing gets a lot of attention — with super-cool sunglasses among their favorite accessories.
Styles of sunglasses BTS wears
The guys of BTS don sunnies on the red carpet, in their music videos, on stage or just casually hanging out. The sunglasses BTS are known for range from pastel-tinted lenses and dark gray tints; round, square and heart-shaped frames; bold and wire rims; to retro, classic wayfarer and aviator styles. This variety of styles is proof that BTS likes to confidently experiment with both their overall looks and their sunglasses.
Unsurprisingly, BTS is often spotted in Korean-based sunglasses brands, including:
Projekt Produkt – This company boasts a large collection of uniquely designed sunglasses, including SC4 C010PG style — worn by V in the music video Dynamite — with round-cornered square frames and colored lenses.
Carin – Offering a wide selection of sunglasses, this brand features everyday stylings. In Dynamite, Jimin wears DD_C2, an oversized look with tinted lenses.
Gentle Monster – This brand offers statement-making sunglasses for any occasion. Jimin is often spotted in them, including at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards in Woogie 02 with pink lenses, which completely sold out soon after.
Alpenistar – These sunglasses are available in trendy street style and retro looks. In Dynamite, J-Hope has on a pair of Nalari, a wide black frame with yellow lenses.
Manomos – This company offers a versatile collection of sunglasses that elevate any outfit. V wears a pair of “peach” DISCO sunglasses in the music video Butter.
Stephane Christian – This designer’s sunglasses are bold yet functional. Jin dons a pair of Lean sunnies in a pic posted on Instagram.
BTS continues to captivate and influence
Keep an eye on BTS as they continue to make history, in more ways than one. So far, they’re the first all-Asian musical act to be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, the first K-pop group to address the United Nations and the first Korean act to perform at the Billboard Music Awards.
There is no question that these young stars have impressed the world with their show-stopping dance routines, heartfelt messages of positivity and hope, charismatic personalities, and unbeatable fashion sense. You may even be a member of their fanclub, the ARMY, or perhaps just one of the millions of fans worldwide that includes 36.4 million followers on Twitter. BTS admirers are worldwide, and they are social media savvy, constantly posting their favorite pics, videos and memes featuring the boys of BTS.
And there’s much more in store for these impressive young men! So put on your BTS-inspired sunglasses, sit back and bask in the light of this amazing K-pop group.
