This is the moment when high global interest in Kai is confirmed once again.

In particular, Glamour explained, “Kai went solo in 2020 and quickly landed a collaboration with Gucci, marking the first time the Italian fashion house has worked with a Korean celebrity on a collection.”

The magazine added, “When it dropped in April, the collection sold out almost immediately and online searches for the high fashion label spiked 264%.”

Kai was chosen as Gucci‘s global ambassador in 2019 and has been active ever since.
