Jay Park and Gucci Steal the Spotlight in Arena Homme+ Digital Cover

Jay Park, the multifaceted artist and CEO of More Vision, has teamed up with Italian luxury brand Gucci for a special digital cover featured in the June issue of Arena Homme+. This captivating collaboration showcases not only his sophisticated fashion sense as he dons pieces from Gucci’s 2025 Pre-Fall Collection but also presents a heartfelt moment with his beloved dog, Oscar.

The shoot’s emotional depth is heightened by the appearance of Oscar, making it a memorable highlight for Park. Previously in the spotlight for the ‘Gucci Together’ campaign—a family-centric initiative celebrating the Month of Gratitude in May—Jay Park recalled his efforts in convincing his parents to join him in front of the camera.

“My parents are usually shy in front of cameras,” he shared in the interview. “I had to persuade them. I always wanted to visit Italy with my family, and I thought this was the perfect opportunity. I suppose they agreed because it was Gucci. Once there, my dad was surprisingly relaxed, and my mom genuinely seemed to enjoy the experience—it felt like we were a full-on influencer family. It was surreal!”

Aside from his fashion endeavors, Jay Park remains committed to his role as a music entrepreneur. Currently, he’s heavily focused on preparing More Vision‘s first K-pop idol group set to debut next year. “Skill and authenticity,” he said when asked what qualities he prioritizes most. “I want them to be undeniably talented. And authenticity isn’t complex—it’s about their actions and presence feeling natural. Whether it’s dance or music, it’s easy to sense genuine energy versus rehearsed lines.”

Reflecting on his growth as a musician and businessman, Jay emphasized a valuable personal trait: acceptance. “I think knowing how to accept failure is my greatest strength. Challenges are expected. Nothing is easy. Admitting when things don’t go as planned allows me to improve and keep pushing forward. To me, recognizing failure is a form of responsibility.”
