The F1 and BTS ARMY fandoms are in a whirl—and for good reason. Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton and BTS’s Jimin just ignited a fashion frenzy. Hamilton took to Instagram Stories to share a snap of Jimin effortlessly pulling off a look from his very own Dior menswear collection—the one he co-designed with Dior Men’s artistic director Kim Jones.

With nothing more than a handshake emoji and the words “my Dior collection,” Hamilton let the moment speak for itself. And that was all it took to send both ARMYs and motorsport fans into collective meltdown mode.

“Never in a million years did I think I’d see Jimin on Hamilton’s Instagram,” one fan gushed. Another wrote, “What in the crossover?” Others wondered if they were dreaming. One simply summed it up: “Two kings.”

Now, fans are hoping for a full Dior campaign starring both icons. And with BTS’s signature element of surprise, who knows? It just might happen.

For now, Jimin is in LA with the rest of BTS, waiting for Jin and J-Hope to join them as they prepare for their next album. He recently completed his military service in June, alongside RM, V, and Jungkook.
