Jungkook, Sana, Matsuzaka Tori, and Mori Hoshi attended Graff’s 65th anniversary exhibition opening in Tokyo.

BTS (BTS, Bulletproof Boy Scouts)’s Jungkook, TWICE’s Sana, Matsuzaka Tori, and Mori Hoshi attended the opening ceremony of “Celebrate 65 Years of Graff Excellence Graff 65 Years of Radiance Retrospective.” Graff, founded in London, England in 1960 and known worldwide as a high jeweler handling large and superb diamonds, is holding the immersive retrospective exhibition “Celebrate 65 Years of Graff Excellence Graff 65 Years of Radiance Retrospective” in Harajuku, Tokyo, from November 12 to 25, tracing its brilliant trajectory over 65 years since its founding in London in 1960. In this exhibition, Graff traces the path to the pinnacle of high jewelry as the “King of Diamonds of the 21st Century,” and the legacy of the family that has woven its history. The centerpiece is “The Infinity Tiara,” sparkling with one of the world’s largest D-color heart-shape diamonds, weighing 157.80 carats. At the venue, visitors can see its overwhelming brilliance, and in addition, masterpieces of new high jewelry and fine jewelry, brought to life by skilled craftsmanship, are displayed all together. Visitors can enjoy Graff’s worldview in a special space that also includes gallery exhibits, short films, a gift shop with limited items, and the “Graff Cafe.” Prior to the public opening, an opening ceremony for “Celebrate 65 Years of Graff Excellence Graff 65 Years of Radiance Retrospective” was held on Wednesday, November 11. On the day, in addition to ambassadors Jungkook and Sana, celebrities such as actor Matsuzaka Tori and model-artist Mori Hoshi appeared wearing Graff’s dazzling jewelry, adding glamour to the memorable opening of the retrospective. The jewelry worn by Graff ambassadors Jungkook and Sana at the opening ceremony will be exhibited in the public opening from November 12. Jungkook appeared in a black setup style paired with a necklace that emitted the brilliance of a large diamond, and commented to Japanese fans, “Hello, I’m Jungkook. I’m happy to be able to join you today for the 65th anniversary event.” Sana appeared in an elegant black long dress with yellow diamond earrings standing out at her ears, and when asked about the secret to being loved, she said, “It may be strange for me to say this myself, but recently I have worked at new sets, and I feel that the moments when I am being myself are when I feel most loved. I was very happy when people on set told me, ‘When Sana is here, the set brightens up.’” Matsuzaka Tori appeared in an all-black suit with an impressive diamond pendant and four sparkling rings on his hands. Looking back on his career in entertainment so far, he said, “Compared with Graff’s 65 years, my probably 19 years are still far from enough, but even within those only 19 years, there have been many encounters, stimulation, worries within myself, joys, and truly many emotions packed into those 19 years, and the word that comes out for me standing here now is only ‘gratitude.’ I am grateful for those encounters, and I think those encounters are what helped me grow. From now on as well, I want to show effort so that I can properly repay the encounters that helped me grow. I intend to devote myself so that I can provide works that people will find even more interesting.” Mori Hoshi appeared in a black dress with a boldly open neckline and a necklace whose brilliance of white gold diamonds stood out, and when asked about moments when she feels she is shining, she revealed, “When I wear such special jewelry, of course my own brilliance is brought out thanks to the jewelry, by the power of diamonds. But in daily life, exercising and cooking for myself and eating things that make my body happy. Those little moments of happiness in everyday life are also moments when I feel brilliance.” ◆ Jungkook interview — What do you think is attractive about Graff’s jewelry? Jungkook: First, the brilliance emitted by the diamonds themselves is very beautiful, and I also think the designs that bring out that brilliance to the fullest are extremely wonderful. — As a Graff ambassador, how did you feel about seeing such a grand exhibition? Jungkook: First, I was very overwhelmed. I was able to deeply understand Graff’s history and philosophy, and it was very interesting. Also, the various stories related to diamonds were interesting. — Graff celebrated its 65th anniversary this year. Like Graff, which has continued to fascinate people around the world for many years, is there anything you have cherished for a long time or still like unchanged? Jungkook: First, I love standing on stage. I also really love the members, and I sincerely love the stage where I can spend time with ARMY. Also, I like continuing to change without being bound by any framework. — The year is almost over. Looking back on this year, are there any especially memorable or meaningful moments? Jungkook: First, the most meaningful things this year were making a comeback and going on tour. I think both are special and very meaningful events, and they will remain in my memory even after time passes. And although the tour is still continuing now, even on tours we do every time, each moment feels special. — Like a diamond that does not lose its brilliance even as time passes, are there any habits you have continued since long ago or things you value in daily life? Jungkook: Yes. First, I value time very much. Something I have continued since long ago is taking videos and photos. Because what remains are photos. As time passes, we end up forgetting many things. The only things that keep those memories forever are videos and photos, so I try to leave many good photos and good videos and share them with everyone. ◆ Sana, Matsuzaka Tori, Mori Hoshi interview — Please tell us your impressions after seeing the retrospective. Sana: It was truly very beautiful, and everything I saw left an impression on me, but among them the one that left the strongest impression was “The Infinity Tiara.” The brilliance of the world’s largest heart-shape diamond with 157-carat D color was truly wonderful, and I felt as if I were being drawn in. Matsuzaka: It was wonderful. The 65 years of history of Graff were packed into it and were truly attractive, and as I received explanations for each piece, I strongly felt that these 65 years were filled with so much attention to detail, love, craftsmanship, and sense. Mori: Since it is the 65th anniversary, this is its first landing in Japan, right? The diamond, a product of nature born over a long time, and the outstanding craftsmanship, and how those were woven together over 65 years, really conveyed Graff’s beliefs through this exhibition. It is not often that one gets the chance to see such details up close, so it was eye candy for me too, and as the year-end approaches, it was an exhibition that gave me energy from the beauty of diamonds, making me want to do my best again next year. — You said “eye candy,” and we are also thinking that Mori-san is “eye candy” right now. How about it? Mori: Thanks to the diamonds (laughs). — You are wearing lovely jewelry today. Please tell us the points of the jewelry and your favorite parts. Sana: I put it on in front of the mirror, and the impression changed instantly. It felt as if everything around me became colored, and I truly thought Graff’s jewelry is special. My favorite point is that it feels as if I am wrapped in yellow diamonds, and this ring is about 13 carats, and the brilliance unique to yellow diamonds is very pleasant. Matsuzaka: Graff’s jewelry shines beautifully and elegantly from any angle, and yet it also has calmness and is very elegant. Just wearing it lifts my spirits and makes me feel as if I have gone up one level. It makes me feel that way. It shines from any angle, so I really feel Graff’s attention to detail. Mori: Graff’s signature is called “fancy shape,” and it is characterized by various Graff-like shapes. The one I wore this time is called a “pear shape,” a shape based on a pear motif. It does not have colored gems and is a very classic, orthodox design, but even when worn in this era, I think it has a truly timeless dignity, and it makes me stand up straighter, so that is what I like about it. — In connection with the “Graff 65 Years of Radiance Retrospective,” how do you look back on your entertainment careers so far, and what kind of career do you want to pursue from here? Sana: This year marks my 11th debut anniversary in Korea, and next year will be my 10th debut anniversary in Japan, but looking back, I think the past 10 years passed in the blink of an eye. The 10 years I ran through, supported by the members, fans, and staff, were truly important time for me, and from here on I hope to spend wonderful time while taking on new challenges. Matsuzaka: Compared with Graff’s 65 years, my probably 19 years are still far from enough, but even within those only 19 years, there have been many encounters, stimulation, worries within myself, joys, and truly many emotions packed into those 19 years, and the word that comes out for me standing here now is only “gratitude.” I am grateful for those encounters, and I think those encounters are what helped me grow. From now on as well, I want to show effort so that I can properly repay the encounters that helped me grow. I intend to devote myself so that I can provide works that people will find even more interesting. Mori: When I look at the flow of 65 years like this, or the passage of time, I feel that I am still very much at the beginning and have a long way to go. Through this fashion exhibition, I felt that I want to deepen my own inner self more and more, and I also thought that Graff’s story of being passed down as a family business from father to son is very warm. I hope I can create value in something that can be passed on to the next generation, and it became a time when I formed a high goal. — Many pieces of jewelry with various kinds of brilliance are on display at the “Graff 65 Years of Radiance Retrospective.” In connection with such jewelry, please tell us when you think you yourself are shining. Sana: I think even this moment now is being made to shine by Graff’s jewelry, but looking back on my life, I think the moment when I am performing on stage at live concerts is when I look the most radiant. After all, the stage exists because of the members, the staff, and the fans, so I hope that for everyone who comes wanting to see me at my most radiant, that moment is the one in which I shine the most. Mori: Of course, when I am wearing such special jewelry today, my own brilliance is brought out thanks to the jewelry, by the power of diamonds. But in daily life, exercising and cooking for myself and eating things that make my body happy. Those little moments of happiness in everyday life are also moments when I feel brilliance. — Graff has been loved for 65 years since its founding. Please tell us your secret to being loved. Sana: It may be strange for me to say this myself, but recently I have worked at new sets, and I feel that the moments when I am being myself are when I feel most loved. I was very happy when people said, “When SANA is here, the set brightens up.” — In connection with Graff, which has accumulated 65 years of time and history, please tell us what you have loved for a long time and what you want to continue loving. Sana: As I have said many times, I want to continue cherishing the members, staff, and fans. Matsuzaka: The thing I will continue to love for a long time is only my family. If I think of what I have loved since I was born, it is truly my family. — At this retrospective, you can see many pieces of jewelry brought to life by skilled craftsmanship. So, please tell us about a moment when you “breathe life into” something, and your attention to detail at that time. Matsuzaka: It is my job to breathe life into a role, so after receiving the script, I think carefully about what kind of role this is, and while thinking about what color I should mix into that empty vessel so that this role is most suitable, that is the main way I breathe life into it. — The centerpiece of this retrospective, “The Infinity Tiara,” is adorned with the highest-grade heart-shape diamond weighing 157.80 carats. In connection with such a miraculous diamond, please tell us about a miracle that happened to you. Matsuzaka: I once saw a shooting star three times in a row, and that was miraculous. It may be small, though (laughs). Three times in a row, like “whoosh, whoosh, whoosh,” it was amazing. And I never thought I would be able to see it in Tokyo. I was looking up at the sky and then it was like, “fwaaah.” That was miraculous. — There is only a little left of 2026, but if there is anything you did not finish this year, or anything you want to do or challenge next year, please tell us. Matsuzaka: There is nothing I left undone this year! I don’t think there is! And next year will probably be all about the Taiga drama, so my biggest goal and wish is to complete that safely, and I think the greatest joy will be being able to deliver it to many people.
